Significant Vintage Masters Signed Poster

w/ Claude Harmon, Jimmy Demaret, Craig Wood, etc

        This is certainly one of the finest Masters autographed pieces we've ever offered. This significant 11"x14" poster was produced for the 1966 Masters Tournament and was included as an insert in the unofficial Masters Program that year. It depicts caricatures of the 18 past Masters Champions. Amazingly, this vintage poster contains the autographs of 16 of these Masters Champions, including some of the scarcest Masters Autographs in existence - Claude Harmon (1948 Masters Champion), Jimmy Demaret (1940,1947 & 1950 Masters Champion), and Craig Wood (1941 Masters Champion), each of whom passed away before the autograph craze caught on. Also on this historic poster are the autographs of the late Herman Keiser, Art Wall, Cary Middlecoff, Gene Sarazen, Byron Nelson, Henry Picard, Ben Hogan and Sam Snead, in addition to signatures of Nicklaus, Palmer, Player, Ford and Burke.

        To recap, that's one poster with autographed caricatures of 16 of the 18 pre-1966 Masters Champs, 11 of which are now deceased. This poster also represents one of the only times you will see two of the rarest golf autographs in the world - Craig Wood and Claude Harmon - together on the same piece.
