Golf Autographs and Memorabilia
4 Lots
 Lot 216. Arnold Palmer Autographed “Sports Illustrated” 1961 “Sportsman of the Year” Issue. Large, bold gem mint 10 signature on the cover of the Jan. 9 issue, which is ex-m without a label. Ten pages inside are devoted to Palmer, who contributions to the popularization of golf are incalculable. His superstar status derived from both his ability on the golf course and his charisma. He won the Masters four times, the U.S. Open once and the British Open twice. Only the PGA Championship eluded him; he tied for second three times. In 2000, “Golf Digest” rated him the sixth greatest golfer of all time, and ESPN rated him the 29th greatest athlete of the 20th century. Kevin Keating authenticated the signature, which is among the finest we have seen by Palmer on an “SI” cover.
Winning Bid $198.

Winning Bid $102.
