Robert 'Bobby' T. Jones, Jr. Signed Cut with Photos & Plate Framed Display - Steve Jones Collection
This calculated Bobby Jones framed presentation features an early high-grade black ink 'Robert T. Jones Jr.' signature. His flowing, full name penmanship is on display in this offering. Merely mentioning Bobby Jones had an impact on The Masters would be selling him extremely short. He was The Masters, from building Augusta National Golf Club the way he envisioned doing it to starting the "Invitation Tournament" in 1934. The first playing was only four years of course after his Grand Slam year of 1930 in which he won the US Open, US Amateur, Open Championship and British Amateur. Jones was captured here in a post-swing pose, clad in a shirt and tie and patented precise middle part in his hair. Above and below the framed signature are photos of Bobby Jones, along with a nameplate containing a caption speaking upon his dominance in gold-tone font. This truly stunning piece transcends golf collecting, categorizes more comfortably as a high end piece of sports memorabilia and a fine investment piece.
