Golf Card Collectors - Name your top 10 Rarest Vintage Golf Cards
 
Thinking about a chapter in a golf reference book summarizing some of the true rarities of the vintage golf card world.

I have plenty of ideas on my own, but would like some input from some of the other golf collectors.

What would you consider on the list of "Rarest Golf Card" produced prior to 1950?

Your input is appreciated

I don't know a ton about golf cards but 2 cards that I have had a really hard time finding are 1926 spalding Walter Hagen or the 1925 Empreza Tobacos. The 1925 card is much more rare than the spalding but I haven't been able to locate either. Another extremely difficult card is the 1968 Mira Arnold Palmer. I have never seen one for sale.

OK, the latter is an Olympics card but she did win 41 times on the LPGA tour including 10 majors and was a charter member of the HOF. And the card is rare.
