Hidden Treasure in Vintage Golf Listing
I lost a bid battle for this autograph book, but think the winner still got a very good deal.
If I were the consignor, I would be a little miffed that the auction house failed to recognize/showcase the marquee name in this group. This probably should have brought double the final hammer. If I hadn't noticed it, the final price would have been much less. http://www.cleansweepauctions.com/it...ow_item=358590 Last edited by cjedmonton; 03-29-2014 at 09:34 AM.

Who are you referring to as the marquee name?

I thought I'd see if anyone else could recognize it, but it is one of the very toughest golf autographs over the past 50 years.

A Claude Harmon that was not as nice as that one sold just last year for close to 5K , and who knows who the others were out of the 32 that were not mentioned , seems like someone would have known that...Guess it was just a busy day

Thanks, Jim.
Just when I thought I had gotten over losing out on this, you re-affirm just how special a Harmon sig is! http://bogeyshooters.com/blog/toughe...ion-autographs Also missing from the description is Lawson Little, one of the all-time great amateur champions. This is one of the few items where Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen would be an afterthought.

You would think that somewhere along the line in preparing it for auction , especially after whatever experts examined it they would have caught it and known.
More than likely there was a Craig Wood in there too as during that time frame Wood & Harmon were almost inseparable. Don't feel bad though as several months back a large group of baseball and other sports letters sold at a high profile auction for around $3,500.00 , there were several names listed in the description along with a group described as "INSIGNIFICANT OTHERS" that were not mentioned by name and could not be seen in the image , the "insignificant others" were actually QUITE significant and should have jacked the selling price to over 20K_____________________ jim@stinsonsports.com Vintage autographs for Sale on my web site http://stinsonsports.com/autographs-for-sale/
