2016 Masters Tournament Ltd Ed Golfer Gnome w/Argyle Sweater - Rare
Extremely highly coveted and predating the Masters Gnome Mania that has propelled the quickly sold out collectible to be the first thing patrons grab in the Augusta National Golf Shop - here is the very first full-size Masters garden gnome with the green and white argyle sweater from 2016. The few of these available continue to command 4 and even 5 digits, with our recent sale topping $10k, likely the final addition to collections that feature each year's version. The elder statesman of the gnome community here remains in good condition without the box as he turns 10 years old, as depicted in his closeups. The gnome measures 13 inches tall x 7.5 inches wide!
