2011 Golf Pick-ups

[Golfcollector]

I guess it pays to know people...I would have paid a LOT for the Hagen and Jones even in a 2 grade

Dave -

Just casually observing other sales / auctions - - It seems there have been many more Jones cards offered than Hagen. Actually - I don't remember a Hagen being offered

I know they are all tough.... but is the Hagen even tougher than the Jones (based on your experience)?

Joe,

I have seen 3 of each:
- Hagen's (PSA 2, SGC 84/7, ungraded EX)
- Jones (PSA 2, SGC 80/6, PSA 6)

The SGC population report also shows a Hagen SGC 40/3 and a Jones SGC 50/4, so I guess I sort of know of 4 of each.

I don't know what the PSA population is on the Jones or Hagen. My membership has expired.

Thanks Jason.

It appears they are about the same then (as far as how often they show up).

[Golf History]

FWIW I have bought and sold three Jones, two Hagens, five Melhorns but only one McCarthy over the past six or so years.

(scans and descriptions fron the auction house)


Item 1 - (one of my all-time favorite players)....

Gary Player Signed Masters Caddie Coveralls Nameplate
Presented here is a great item commemorating Gary Player and The Masters Tournament.
This is an exact replica "PLAYER" nameplate from the white coveralls famously worn by caddies at the Masters.
Gary Player has beautifully signed the nameplate.

2' x5' It has a different graphics on each side, one of which contains the famed
Shinnecock Indian logo.





Item 3 - (very cool)

Black in the weeks leading up to the 2002 U.S. Open, which was won by Tiger
Woods. The two banners make up one set, and were hung together on the same

Joe,
Nice pickups. I especially like the picture. Are you going to have it framed? That would look great in a nice matte.
