Impressive Multi-Signed Dark Green Men's Blazer With 34 Masters Champions Autographs!
One of the most popular of Masters collectibles is a multi-signed item presenting numerous Masters champs autographs, this grouping is most often composed on Masters flags. A similar compilation, but with a far more creative slant is found in this lot with placement of the prized autographs on a green blazer. When looking for Masters multi-signed champs items it is not that hard to find items with 10-20 past champions assembled. When you find anything with 30 plus signatures you can know for sure that years of work have gone into assembling that beauty. The effort required in assembling this stunner is even more impressive when you consider what a daunting task it is to carry around a sports coat for hours at a time over a golf course. This drudgery done in the pursuit of signatures that can be only from a very select golfer, a Masters champion. This jacket size 41 that bears 34 champions autographs is among the top 1% of all Masters champ autographed items assembled, for the total number of signatures contained. One of the best ever offered by The Golf Auction as far as number of total signatures and overall appearance of the item (well spaced, with all autographs presenting at 8-10 strength, with no smears). What makes this one special is the number of deceased champions (11) which normally do not show up on these projects. Though extremely few, ten additions could be made to this flag in the signatures of Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott, Tiger Woods, Charl Schwartzel, Bubba Watson, Trevor Immelman, Danny Willett, Sergio Garcia, Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth. All still appear on the PGA Tour as players or broadcasters add them to this jacket and the champions autographs presented could be at the CRAZY NUMBER of 44 signatures!! *The following champions have signed this Green Blazer: 1. Jack Nicklaus 2. Arnold Palmer 3. Gene Sarazen 4. Nick Faldo 5. Sam Snead 6. Gary Player 7. Charles Coody 8. Gay Brewer 9. Bob Goalby 10. Doug Ford 11. Mark O'Meara 12. Ray Floyd 13. Sandy Lyle 14.

What an interesting trail this blazer, a model known as Career Marx Fashionaire of the Hart Schafner & Marx Co., has followed from department store rack to the hands of 34 past Masters champions for their autographs to finally reside in a prized top golf collection or museum. At that time to be proudly admired, displayed and enjoyed by all who recognize the accomplishment of the select few who rose to the pinnacle of achievement on Golf's grandest stage at the Masters. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed each of these signatures and their letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
