Al Geiberger's

1971 Masters Tournament "Eagle" Crystal

        Just mention the term "Masters Crystal" and golf collectors' eyes light up, as it is among the most highly coveted of all Masters Tournament memorabilia. For the uninitiated, the Masters Tournament famously issues Stubben crystal to players who have the Day's Low Round or record an Eagle, Hole in One, or, on a few rare occasions, a Double-Eagle. As far as tournament gifts go, Masters Crystal has obtained almost mythical status among collectors, as few examples have ever surfaced. Additionally, because Augusta National showcases "blank" Masters Crystal on its website, in the Masters Program, and on display in the Trophy Room at the Masters Tournament each year, most collectors are unaware that the player-issued crystal is etched with the player's name, tournament year and details of the accomplishment.

        Offered here are the pair of goblets awarded to "Mr. 59" Al Geiberger for recording an eagle on the 13th hole at the 1971 Masters Tournament.
