1934 Augusta National Invitation Saturday Third Round Medal Play Ticket #1655
Offered here is a Saturday third round ticket to the 1934 Augusta National Invitation Tournament (The Masters). The 1934 first year ticket is the most cherished of all Masters badges/tickets. It is quickly becoming among the most sought after ducat to any event in the history of Sport, be it Super Bowl I or even a turn of the century World Series game. In today's collecting world it fits prominently among the most highly prized of all Masters collectibles, placed in similar company with the tournament's championship awards. Any example of a 1934 ticket is extremely rare, right at a dozen examples are known. It is so seldom seen that an elite golf collector reports to us that the Augusta National did not have an example of a ticket from their maiden tournament until just recently. Now that is scarce and desirable. This marks the first time a Saturday ticket has been viewed by The Golf Auction staff. We know that many advanced collectors will want to take a hard look at ownership of this treasure. With that in mind we provide several images for your pleasure in viewing, and assessing the countless merits this ticket presents for ownership.
