Masters Badge Collection

1961-2007

        Nowadays, tell any sports fan that you have a "badge" to next year's tournament and they will know exactly what you're talking about - the Masters. With virtually every other sporting event, you need a ticket. Not so with the Masters. Beginning in 1961, the Masters did away with tickets and instead sold "badges" to patrons of the tournament. Ever since then, Masters badges have been sought after not only before and during the tournament, but also after the tournament as collectibles.

        Masters badges are, without a doubt, the most sought after piece of modern golf memorabilia in the United States. Presented here is the rare opportunity to obtain a complete run of Masters Badges - from the very beginning in 1961 through 2007. That's right, every single badge from 1961 - 2007. That's all 47 badges in one auction lot! A collection that takes years to assemble can immediately be owned by the highest bidder. The badges are all in near mint condition and nicer than the dark picture indicates.
