Golf Scorecard History 101, Western Australia - Set #6

Golf Scorecard History 101, Western Australia
Set #6
Derby GC to Eutonic Bore GC

One of the sorry things I see about scorecard collecting is the lack of die hard collectors.   Years ago I was trading with a half dozen traders in Australia.  Regrettably a few have passed away, most notably George Johnstone who was a prolific trader.  Others apparently just lost interest.  I also assume some quit due to economics.  For example, many years ago I could send a package of 100 different golf scorecards overseas via surface mail for just $3.00.  The post office, in all their brilliance, disbanded surface mail.  Now they have to go by airmail at ridculous rates, i.e.; up to as much $18.00  At that ludicrous price the postage cost is now in many cases significantly higher than the value of most of the scorecards.  Hence, some collectors thought it just wasn't worth it.




 Editors Note:  Although the above scorecard reads The Boabs GC it is actually the Derby GC.  See the scorecard directly above this one.
