Who knows about collectibles?
« on: January 13, 2023, 06:30:28 PM »
Hi everyone,


My goodness, I couldn’t even begin to tell you the last time I posted in this forum!


Quick question, as I’m in need of a little “golf expert/fanatic groupthink“


I have happened upon some rare golf book collectibles recently. No need to go into detail right here, but I’m curious if there are any experts or semi experts who might be able to give me some guidance in this regard.


Feel free to DM me (if I can remember how that feature works!) or better yet, text me at (912) 663-7851


Thanks in advance!

PBA Galleries in Berkeley, CA has conducted one or two auctions a year of rare/collectible golf books for many years. They might be able to give you an appraisal of the value of the books you are looking at.

Michael Wolf might have some knowledge.

Joel,

I just sent you a DM. And here I thought this was going to be a boring Friday night!

I have a copy bought on Amazon of:
Gilchrist's Guide to Collectible Golf Book Priceshttps://www.amazon.com/Gilchrists-Guide-Collectible-Golf-Prices/dp/1949756513
Which will give you an estimate, but as prices go up and down the exact values aren't going to be dialed in.
