Jack Fleck's 1958 Masters Contestant Pin - Palmer's 1st Masters Win!
With only 86 contestants appearing in the 1958 Masters, this red and white 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" plastic badge is highly elusive to Masters collectors. With badge #1 going to the past years champion each badge is then issued according to when the player shows up for the Masters and registers for the tournament. In 1958, Fleck received #23 as would also be listed on the Masters pairing sheet from that year. With original pin still in place, this contestants pins memorable Augusta National design packs a big punch in the way of Masters collectables. An added plus is the fact that this high quality example comes from a well known player, even better a major winner (1955 U.S. Open), but an even bigger plus that it was an Arnold Palmer's very first Masters' victory.
