Jack Nicklaus Signed 1959 Masters Sunday Final Rd Ticket #330 w/'Masters Debut'
Debuts have driven the thriving ticket category followed by moments and milestones. Driving home the significance of this tournament and ticket in particular, Jack Nicklaus both signed it and inscribed the 'Masters Debut' in his hand just below for a one-of-a-kind piece - a signer that his highly resistant to inscriptions that aren't simply years won. The first of Nicklaus' 45 Masters starts came at 19-years old in 1959 as a Walker Cup Team player qualifier. Gaining admittance to see final round of play at Augusta National from that tournament, this Sunday fourth round ticket badge was signed in fine black marker by Jack Nicklaus with placement across the top. The Golden Bear (cub) would card rounds of 76 and 74 that week to miss the cut by a single stroke. The rest was history as we know it. The Ohio State University collegiate star Nicklaus would go on to win the US Amateur that year at Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs, Colorado 1-up over Charlie Coe, two years junior his filing for professional status. A seldom seen pre-1960 Fourth Round Sunday badge in its own right, it appears unlikely that there is another 1959 Masters debut badge single-signed by Jack Nicklaus with 'Masters Debut' also in his hand out there. Investors and collectors alike convene. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity (ALOA) comes with this lot.
