Claude Harmon Signed 3x5 Card
For one lucky bidder, I'm sure what has been a long quest can come to an end with this lot. The quest for the very elusive autograph of the 1948 Masters Champion, Claude Harmon. In the days when it was hard for a professional golfer to feed his family, Harmon paid the bills as one of the top teaching club pros anywhere and held two of the most prestigious Country Club Pro slots in the United States at Winged Foot outside New York City and ultra exclusive Seminole in Florida. Headed out of the South from the Winter season of 1948, Harmon (the ever precise iron player) stopped off at Augusta on his way North and won the Masters.
The glory of the victory did not change him or tempt him to leave his two lucrative country club positions. The combination of two contributing factors have led to a very difficult autograph first Harmon spending little time on the regular PGA tour and secondly his early passing before Masters champion autographs became in vogue. This has led to a Masters champs signature which many veteran collectors have never even seen. The Claude Harmon ink signature on this 3 X 5 note card is extremely strong presenting at 9-10 strength
