Sports Memorabilia -> Autographs – Original -> Golf – PGA
While the sport of golf may not be quite as popular as football or baseball, it still has its share of rabid fans and when you’ve got a fan base like that, you’re guaranteed that there will be a demand for golf memorabilia. Throughout the past few years, as greats like Tiger Woods have risen to prominence, there has been a resurgence in popularity of golf memorabilia and many collectors are desperate to get their hands on some.
If you’re looking for golf memorabilia, but you’re not quite sure what you should be collecting, here’s a quick guide to get you started.
Autographed Golf Balls
One of the best types of golf memorabilia are autographed golf balls and good ones can be hard to come by. Fans will usually sit at tournaments and hope that they can get their favorite player to come by and give them an autograph. For those that can’t make it in person, there are many shops that sell licensed merchandise and you can usually find a few of these in stock. However, the rarest will be typically found at auction, or online if a private collector decides to sell theirs.
Pin Flags
This is a very unique kind of golf memorabilia and one that is highly sought after. Typically, you can find autographed pin flags after a major tournament. The winner will usually sign the flag for the eighteenth green. However, in some cases, especially at charity events, you may even find flags signed by everyone that took part in the tournament. This is a fun collectible and one that is great to display in your home.
Signed Photographs
These are another popular form of golf memorabilia. Fans of the sport will typically go in person to get autographed photos, or special commemorative editions are sometimes released. Once again, the best place to find these photos is at auction or at a special golf memorabilia store. In many cases, you can also buy a photograph, and send it to the agent of your favorite player in order to have it autographed. This method is hit or miss, but many have reported success with it.
Bobbleheads
Like most sports, you can find bobbleheads golf memorabilia. While these may not be as valuable as other types of memorabilia, they are fun to collect. Most of the top players in the PGA will have their own bobblehead and occasionally companies will release special collector editions that are a bit more valuable.
Special Golf Clubs
If you’re looking for a unique piece of golf memorabilia, every once in awhile you can find autographed golf clubs. These are usually auctioned off for charity purposes, but every once in awhile they will be released for a special occasion or event. This type of golf memorabilia can be expensive, but for true fans of the game, it’s more than worth the expense.
Now that you know what kind of golf memorabilia to buy, you can start adding to your personal collection.
