Bobby Jones 1930 Ticker Tape Parade 8x10 Type 1 Press Photo - PSA Slabbed
Here we have a black and white slabbed photograph of Bobby Jones in the ticker tape parade thrown to celebrate his incredible grand slam. At the time, no one had achieved such an accomplishment and were at a loss as to what to call it. O. B. Keeler from the Atlanta Journal put it best,
"This victory, the fourth major title in the same season and in the space of four months, had now and for all time entrenched Bobby Jones safely within the 'Impregnable Quadrilateral of Golf,' that granite fortress that he alone could take by escalade, and that others may attack in vain, forever."
Please note: This auction will end at 5:00pm EST on Sunday, April 8th, with EXTENDED BIDDING to follow.
