Anyone know where I could get a good appraisal of a GOLF-related collectable item?
Last week, I picked up a green jacket with an amazingly THICK
embroidered crest that says "73rd US Open".

It has a name embroirdered inside, and it's the name of a guy
who passed away last month, and who was a senior member of
the Country Club that hosted the US open in 1973.

I don't think this was "THE" green jacket that was awarded to the
winner of the tournament; I think it's a green jacket made especially
for the VIP members of the club who hosted the tournament.

But I know that golfers spend big $$$ for golf-related collectables,
so I'm pretty sure it's worth more than the $3.50 I paid for it, knowhutImean?
