Rare Early 1990
Rare Early 1990's Masters
Flag Signed By Art Wall
In the early 1990's, a couple golf
collectors in the Midwest had an idea: Wouldn't it be great to have Masters
logo'd pin flags to get autographs on? There was only one problem - the
Masters Tournament didn't sell golf flags. There was an easy solution.
The two golf collectors had about 100 white Masters flags made by a local
company. Over the next couple years, those collectors sent the flags via
U.S. Mail to past Masters Champions for signatures. They had an amazing
response from those past Champions. In fact, while several single-signed
flags have traded hands in recent years, it is not known if a single unsigned
flag exists.
While these two
collectors were visionaries in many respects, there is no way that they could
contemplate the future significance of these flags. They were intended as
a new way to get golf autographs, but something unintended happened. Fast
forward several years: the golf flag collectible market erupted and these
"unofficial" flags were all of a sudden worth more than the signatures that were
on them.
Presented here is
one of those rare flags - this one being signed by Masters Champion Art Wall.
This would be a great addition to any golf collection. If you miss out on
this opportunity to own one, there is no telling how long it may be until one
becomes available for sale again. This flag comes with a letter of
authenticity from Ryan Carey/tourflags.com.
