Tiger Woods Autographed 2000 US Open Pebble Beach Pin Flag signed UDA Upper Deck

Description

Tiger Woods Autographed
2000 U.S. Open Pebble Beach Black Pin Flag
Official 2000 U.S. Open Pebble Beach Tournament Pin flag, nicely signed in black paint pen by 2000 US Open Champion Tiger Woods.
From a numbered, limited edition of  500 (you will receive a random number from the edition).
Embroidered into the flag is the inscription "Wire-to-Wire".  Woods physically wrote out the inscription “Wire-to-wire” and then that inscription was embroidered directly onto the limited edition pin flag.
There are a few very minor pin-holes in the flag – these are in every single Tiger flag.  They pinned them to cardboard before he signed them so that his signature would come out nicer on the flat immovable surface.  They are near the corners and are very hard to see even in these close-up images.
Signed at an official paid private autograph session held in 2016.
Signed at an official paid private autograph session held in June of 2019.
Sold with Certificates of Authenticity from both The Autograph Source and Upper Deck Authenticated (UDA).
The 2000 PGA season was arguably the greatest of Tiger Woods’ prolific career. The highlight was his record-setting win at the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.
Leading up to the tournament, Woods was not very impressive at the Masters. But he turned it on in June. He opened with a 65 and followed that with a 69 the second day. He kept it going all weekend, finishing with a 15-stroke win, which was two strokes better than the record for a major set by Old Tom Morris at the 1862 British Open.
His amazing combination of power, courage and intelligence on the course that weekend was something that hadn’t been seen in a long while, perhaps ever. It was truly one of golf’s most iconic performances at a major.
Always looking to place an original mark on golf’s most iconic items, UDA had Woods physically write out the inscription “Wire-to-Wire” and then get that inscription embroidered directly onto the pin flag. Woods has signed this limited edition (500) 2000 U.S. Open pin flag in black paint pen. His signature is deemed authentic by virtue of Upper Deck Authenticated’s Five-Step Process.

Please bear in mind that MOST autographed items offered on EBay are fake. The best way to avoid problems is to buy from a respected dealer with a physical store. You want someone that will be there when you walk in the door, or call on the phone. Do a little research. Find out who you are purchasing from. If it is too good to be true... chances are it is fake. Don't take a risk when investing. Would you buy stock from someone who will only communicate with you by email? Would you buy a Rolex from someone on EBay who doesn't give you their phone number or address? Don't treat your memorabilia investment any differently. Rock'n'Roll and Hollywood memorabilia is VERY hard to come by. Someone with the wherewithal to authenticate a piece knows what it is worth. There is not a respected dealer in the business who has multiples of these types of pieces. Real dealers have long waiting lists on the high end pieces... they won't be sitting on big inventories. In addition, please research so-called "Forensic Examiners", whose letters are not accepted by legitimate dealers or auction houses. Search for information about them on Google and draw your own conclusion.. We are not the only dealer selling authentic pieces, but we are one of the few. Use your brain, educate yourself, and enjoy collecting! - The Autograph Source Aspen.

What you see here on EBay, and on our website is only a snapshot of what we sell. Due to the unique nature of our business, sometimes it can take us months to authenticate and negotiate for a piece.

AUTHENTICITY OF OUR PIECES:
The Autograph Source works with the certified experts in each field that we sell in order to make insure that every piece we sell is authentic.

Through our years in the industry, we know who the experts are, and they are used to dealing with us.
We do not take any risks on the pieces that we sell. The provenance of each piece is the most important thing. If the provenance is impeccable, then we move on to authentication of the piece or signature. If any part of the equation does not add up, we simply do not deal with the piece.
We offer a Certificate Of Authenticity, which is a lifetime guarantee that the piece is real, with every piece. A Certificate Of Authenticity is only as good as the company that issues it. Our reputation is impeccable, and our letter means something. Buying from us is a no-risk proposition.
Please feel free to email us or call us for more information about the authenticity of our items. Different items are sourced in different ways, and we are always happy to discuss this topic. It is the most important facet of our business. Feel free to contact us at any time.
