Masters Badges

 The Masters Tournament started using actual badges in 1961.  Prior to 1961, paper tickets were used.  Pre-1961 tickets are extremely difficult to find, as are the badges from the early 1960's.  Also, badges with low numbers are very important to serious collectors.  4 digit numbers and less are more desirable. 

 I have most of these badges available for sale or trade.  I am also buying Masters badges: especially large collections, older badges, and Tiger badges.
