Herman Keiser Signed Early 1990's White Masters Flag
This early 1990's flag is one of the sought after fore runners which started the popular trend of Masters champions signing pin flags. Herman Keiser, 1946 Masters champion, who defeated Ben Hogan by one shot in the first post World War II event, signed this early edition flag. After a long debilitating battle with Alzheimer's disease, Mr. Keiser unfortunately passed away in 2003. Even when he was alive and healthy many collectors needed Keiser to complete their Masters collections. Due to very few appearances on the golf stage outside of a yearly trek to Augusta for the Masters champions dinner, Mr. Keiser's autograph proved difficult to obtain. The difficulty of this signature is only compounded by the added difficulty of inscription, this gem of an autograph has that going for it as well. Keiser in his own hand has placed 'Masters 1946' atop his name. This one has it all for the collector - tough flag, seldom seen deceased Masters champ autograph, and a notation to top it off. This flag comes in excellent condition, matted and encased in plastic wrap. Due to the wrapping, the photo might not present the excellent condition as true as it is.
James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed the signature and their auction letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
