The "Holy Grail" of Augusta National Collectibles!
Up for sale is the legendary 2016 Masters Tournament Garden Gnome. This is the first-ever edition released by Augusta National, featuring the iconic green and white argyle sweater and white slacks.
Condition & Provenance:
This gnome was purchased personally at the 2016 Masters Tournament. Unlike many specimens that have suffered from "garden rot" or sun fading, this gnome has been kept strictly indoors on an office shelf in a smoke-free environment.
Condition: Excellent/Near-Mint. No chips, cracks, or paint degradation.
Colors: Vibrant and crisp (see high-res photos of the argyle pattern and Masters logo).
Base: Clean and stable.
Note: This listing is for the gnome only (no original box). It is currently stored in a secure, padded container to preserve its condition.
Shipping & Handling:
Given the rarity and value of this "Elder Statesman" of the gnome series, it will be shipped with extreme care using a "box-in-a-box" method with premium padding. The shipment will include full insurance and signature confirmation. A $50 handling charge is added to offset cost of shipping insurance.
Now accepting reasonable offers—serious inquiries welcome, especially during Masters week.
