Amazing Masters Badge collection

 

Amazing Masters Badge collection 1965-2007

   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 series 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 golf memorabilia in the United States.  Presented here is the rare opportunity to obtain a collection of badges from 1965 - 2007.  That's 43 badges in one auction lot!  A collection that takes years to assemble can immediately be owned by the highest bidder! 

    It should be noted that the safety pin is missing on the 1966 badge.
