Have the Shirt Right Off of Tiger's Back

The folks at Upper Deck contacted me about an interesting trading card and memorabilia opportunity for golf fans.  (I still have my 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card.)

From Jay Busbee's report, since he did a good job with it:

Upper Deck and Tiger Woods creating some instant five-figure collectibles -- the shirts from Tiger's first three days at last year's epic U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. They're part of Upper Deck's ultra-ultra-super-mega-high-end collectibles market. (Remember when a $50 Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card was the pinnacle of what Upper Deck had to offer? Yeah, me neither.)

Here's the video.

Now that you're all excited, be prepared to pay at least $30,000 for a shirt.  Enjoy!

Is $30k more money than

a buck-two-ninety? That’s my top bid.

If you ever saw the 1950’s baseball trading cards I used for bike-spoke-clackers, you would have a heart attack…!!!

My dad said the same thing to me. He’s shooting himself for putting those Mickey Mantle cards in his bike wheel spokes.
