Horton Smith Signed 1934 Junior League Charity Golf Exhibition Ticket
Four days short of 9 months following Horton Smith highly significant triumph at the inaugural 1934 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club, the talk of Joplin, Missouri signed this exhibition ticket in which he was the star attraction. Most of what the World Golf Hall of Famer signed in this time period was albums and cuts, long before the days in which tickets like this one were a targeted collecting category. In later life he penned numerous letters as the President of the PGA, still very few tickets. The World Golf Hall of Famer was the first past Masters Champion to decease when he passed away in 1963 at 55. This lot is a fine exemplar of his penmanship, both in quality of formation and strength of the preserved blazing black ink signed across the clean back with slight paper-loss not affecting the presentation on the frontside. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity (ALOA) comes with this lot.
