Description
Circa 2004 Tiger Woods Tournament Worn Shirt. For the serious modern golf collector, it simply doesn't get any better than this. The man who is arguably the most dominant figure in professional sports from both an athletic and a marketing standpoint is also perhaps its most elusive in terms of collectibles. The demand for Woods' autograph so far exceeds the supply that a simply signed golf ball can climb into the thousands of dollars at auction. But a tournament worn shirt? Such pieces appear within the hobby with such incredible rarity that the only guarantee is that bidding will be spirited, to put it mildly.When it comes to Tiger Woods memorabilia of any form, the most trustworthy name is Upper Deck, whose exclusive arrangement with the young linksman assures ironclad authenticity. We're pleased to announce that this striped maroon Nike polo shirt comes to us with full UDA documentation and original packaging. Woods' personal tagging appears inside the collar, with his logo "TW" at the base of the neck on reverse. Wear is light, but appropriate for a single day's work on the links. We have not determined the exact event from which the shirt derives, but the skilled researcher should be able to track down a photo match with a bit of work.
Only a scant few modern athletes are likely to survive in sports history with quite the same degree of immortality that Woods is certain to enjoy--perhaps only Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan could expect a similar spot in the pantheon. Those who would agree with this sentiment must consequently realize that any investment in a top-tier Woods collectible is one that will almost assuredly appreciate through time as well. LOA from Upper Deck. Guide Value or Estimate: $8,000 - $12,000.
