Horton Smith's

1947 Masters Player Gift Photo Album

        The Inaugural Masters Champion Horton Smith has a cult following among collectors – not unlike the allure of Honus Wagner items to the baseball collecting community. Whenever a piece of Horton Smith memorabilia comes up for auction, the collecting community takes notice. You likely already know about our recent sale of Horton Smith’s Green Jacket for the highest price ever paid for a piece of golf memorabilia - $682,299. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Horton Smith memorabilia. Some other examples of recent Horton Smith sales by Green Jacket Auctions: Horton Smith used wedge: $21,539; Horton Smith signed golf ball: $11,000.

        There are Masters Tournament gifts and then there are Masters Tournament gifts. Offered here is one of the most significant Masters Tournament Player gifts ever offered – the original 1947 Masters Tournament scrapbook given to 1934 and 1936 Masters Tournament Champion Horton Smith.

        Everything about this scrapbook album is impressive. It very large and contains a phenomenal embossed cover with the Augusta National logo and Horton Smith’s name. The scrapbook is contains actual original photographs inside (yes, these photographs aren’t printed on the pages, the are actual early Augusta National photographs that have been glued onto the scrapbook pages!).
