The front half of the book consists of thousands of listings for tournament-related memorabilia such as badges, programs, and tournament tickets, beginning with The Masters. This section is followed by alphabetical listings for over 10,000 golf books with current market values. Each listing includes the author name, title, year of release, special notes about the book and current market value.

Gilchrist and Emerson's Golf Collectibles is the collector's handbook for anyone interested in collecting golf memorabilia of all kinds.


Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars I returned it.   September 23, 2005
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I was specifically looking for updated prices on antique and collectable golf clubs, and this new edition didn't have any information on them at all. The previous edition did; however, I felt the items were now worth more and was hoping to find that in his new book.


5 out of 5 stars Many Reviews here are for older book   August 27, 2005
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Please be advised, this book is the new 2005 edition. Many of the reviews written in 2004 or earlier are referring to an out-of-print edition.

This new guide does not contain any information about putters, clubs, or balls.

It *does* contains lots of information about autographs, limited edition prints, programs, tickets, flags, books, and a whole host of tournament-related memorabilia.



4 out of 5 stars Mostly good information for the collector   April 11, 2000
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I thought it was mostly very useful information for the collector, however one piece seemed to be missing, "golf balls" I would think that this particular piece would be important since that is what golfers hit around the links.


1 out of 5 stars If purchasing for irons or putters, look elsewhere   January 12, 2000
 9 out of 14 found this review helpful

Book is more focused on tickets, programs and autographs. It is absolutely worthless for identifying and finding values for irons and putters. It lumps generations of irons into a single category, even if the iron was completely redone and just kept the same name.


4 out of 5 stars Authoritative & Complete Golf Ephemera Source   December 31, 1999
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

After years of collecting and researching golf clubs, balls, equipment and literature, I was very pleased to find Gilchrist's Guide to Golf Collectibles. With the explosion in interest in vintage links-related materials, I found this guide to be the most up-to-date and complete resource yet. The portion devoted to golf publications is especially impressive, and essential to anyone even the least bit interested in collecting or selling literature related to golf. Why not five stars? I'm waiting for the next edition.
