2004 Masters Flag

            Presented here is an authentic, unsigned 2004 Masters flag.  The collecting of golf flags exploded in popularity between 2003 and 2004.  Augusta National was caught unprepared, and the 2004 Masters flags sold out by noon of the Wednesday practice round at the 2004 Masters Tournament.  Therefore, not a single flag was left to sell during the actual tournament days on Thursday to Sunday.  Then, to make matters worse, fan favorite Phil Mickelson won the tournament, which created a perfect storm of sorts.  Thousands of golf fans immediately attempted to locate and purchase 2004 Masters flags, but the supply simply didn't exist.  In the 5 years that have followed, 2004 Masters flags have become even more difficult to find unsigned, as many have been signed by Mickelson.  This auction represents a great chance to obtain an unsigned version of that difficult-to-obtain 2004 Masters flag.
