Assembled one at a time by a descriminating collector over the 1990's-2000's. This lot features a great start to an advanced Grand Slam Ventures autographed Masters Champions set. Offered here are 53 signed cards with 45 different all appearing in blue or black sharpie with the exception of 1979 champion Fuzzy Zoeller in his ever present red sharpie. All of the key signatures appear with a strong signature rating at least ("9") with some rating even higher. For accuracy of description signatures that appear lesser in condition are 1957 Doug Ford (smear), 1968 Bob Goalby (smear on G),1973 Tommy Aaron (splotch of ink removal as if pulled away by plastic sleeve). Overall these three minor shortcomings are minimal to a very pleasing set of autographs.
