Unopened 1988 Francis Ouimet Winner of 1913 US Open at Brookline FDC in Original Packing
It was the 75th anniversary of Francis Ouimet's highly improbably 1913 US Open win in a playoff over Ted Ray and Harry Vardon with 10-year old Eddie Lowery on the bag. In-keeping of the time, collectors clambered over this 1988 US Open first day cover when the nation's championship returned to the site - this time won by Curtis Strange for his first of two in a row. Please inspect the accompanying photos, as this was preserved in its original packaging.
