1951 Masters Tournament Invitation

        This is truly something to behold - an actual player's invitation from one of the most famous tournaments of all-time, the 1951 Masters Tournament. At the 1951 Masters, Ben Hogan cemented his place in history by winning the Masters for the first time. How rare is this invitation? Only 59 players competed in the 1951 Masters Tournament. If only 59 of these paper invitations existed in 1951, how many exist 62 years later? Surely only a handful or less.

        This menu is superb. It measures 5" x 7" and is creased down the center, though that clearly doesn't distract from its beauty.
