Al Geiberger's 1967 Ryder Cup

Player's Money Clip

The "Mr. 59" Al Geiberger Collection

        In this auction, we have the extreme pleasure of offering virtually the entire collection of "Mr. 59" Al Geiberger. Ryan and Bob recently flew out to Palm Springs to shoot Mr. Geiberger and his collection for the Pilot episode of a new reality TV show based on Green Jacket Auctions. While we were there, Al Geiberger decided that rather than continuing to keep his collection packed away in a California storage facility, he felt that it was his duty to share his memorabilia with the world. Nothing was off limits to Green Jacket Auctions. We came home with some of the most historic pieces of golf memorabilia that we have ever offered, including Al Geiberger's Wannamaker Trophy and his actual golf clubs from the 59 Round. We hope that you enjoy viewing - and bidding on - the "Mr. 59" Al Geiberger collection.

1967 Ryder Cup Money Clip

        Money clips have long been issued to players for competing in amateur and professional golf tournaments. These player money clips are highly sought-after by collectors, with even high quality replica examples often selling for hundreds of dollars.

        Offered here is a truly exceptional original money clip - the actual money clip issued to Al Geiberger for participating in the 1967 Ryder Cup. This money clip represents Al Geiberger's most cherished item from the 1967 Ryder Cup. No players' Ryder Cup trophy was issued to players then, but the Ben Hogan-led U.S. Squad was given this money clip.       

        This 1967 Ryder Cup money clip is being auctioned today by Al Geiberger himself, and comes with a letter of authenticity from Al Geiberger.
