Undated Masters Flag

with 37 Champions Autographs

(Finest Example Known)

        Offered here is not only the finest Masters "Champs" flag that we have ever offered, but likely the finest such flag in existence. Obtaining a Masters flag signed by as many Masters Champions as possible has become a competition of sorts among collectors of Masters memorabilia and golf flags - with each collector trying to obtain the flag with the most signatures. The desirability (and therefore value) of these coveted Champs flags is dictated by two factors: (1) the number of Masters Champion autographs on the flag, especially the number of deceased Champions, and (2) whether the flag is the hard-to-find Undated Masters flag. The flag presented here is the hard to find 1998-version Undated Masters flag that has been autographed by an eye-catching 37 Masters Champions. This flag, which was sold at the 1998 Masters Tournament (notice the much thicker stitching than is present on the more recent Undated Masters flag sold in 2002), has been autographed by virtually every Masters Champion that was alive and able to sign it. Surely a flag like this could never be assembled again, as it contains the autographs of a remarkable 7 deceased Masters Champions. In addition to those now-deceased champions like Herman Keiser, Byron Nelson and Sam Snead, this flag also contains autographs of the three most difficult living Masters Champs as well - Tiger Woods, Tom Watson and Larry Mize.

        This flag has already been authenticated by leading third party authenticator PSA/DNA and comes with their letter of authenticity. It has also been authenticated by Green Jacket Auctions, will come with our certificate of authenticity and hologram, and has been entered into our authentication database.
