1998 Tiger Woods Masters Collection Champions of Golf "Gold Foil" Set in Binder 1

Here is the highly sought after Gold FOIL version of the cards issued by Grand Slam Ventures - Champions of Golf:  The Masters Collection.  The set is in original green binder and extremely rare.  This set includes all winners from 1934 through 1998 which of course includes the 1997 Tiger Woods gold foil card.

Grand Slam Ventures issued multiple sets of these cards (in order of most common to the rarest):

- 1934 to 1997 Black Box gold ink card set

- 1934 to 1998 Yellow Box gold ink card set

- 1934 to 1998 Black Binder gold ink card set

- 1934 to 1997 Titlelist Pack of gold ink card set

- 1934 to 1995 Titleist Pack of Gold FOIL card set

- 1934 to 1993 Green Binder GOLD FOIL card set

- 1934 to 1998 Green Binder GOLD Foil card set

GSV unfortunately closed it's doors in 1999 and no individual cards exists after 1998.  They also issued gold ink posters through 1999 annually from 1993 through 1999.  The main differece was the card stock was thinner for the 1999 version poster.  Pre 1999 the card stock was similar to the individual cards issued.

The highest graded gold ink cards are found in the Titleist Packs that were included when purchasing golf ball.

The highest graded golf FOIL cards are found in the Green Binder set.

The Masters Tournament is a golf competition that was established in 1934, with Horton Smith winning the inaugural tournament.^[1] The Masters is the first of four major championships to be played each year, with the final round of the Masters always being scheduled for the second Sunday in April.^[2] The Masters is the only one of the four majors to use the same course every year; the Augusta National Golf Club.^[3] Masters champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (the U.S. Open, the Open Championship (British Open), and the PGA Championship) for the next five years, and earn a lifetime invitation to the Masters. They also receive membership on the PGA Tour for the following five seasons and invitations to the Players Championship for the five years following their victory.^[4] The champion also receives the "Green Jacket", the first one being won by Sam Snead in 1949. The champion takes the jacket home for a year and returns it thereafter. A multiple-time champion will only have one jacket unless his size changes dramatically.^[5] 

Jack Nicklaus holds the record for the most Masters victories, winning the tournament six times during his career. Nicklaus is also the oldest winner of the Masters: he was 46 years 82 days old when he won in 1986.^[6] Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods co-hold the record for most consecutive victories with two. Woods was the youngest winner of the Masters, 21 years 104 days old when he won in 1997.^[6] Woods also set the record for the widest winning margin (12 strokes). The lowest winning score, with 268, 20-under-par, was scored by Dustin Johnson in 2020.^[7]

The highest winning score of 289 (+1) was originally set by Sam Snead in 1954, it was equalled by Jack Burke Jr. in 1956, and Zach Johnson in 2007.^[8] Five golfers have won the Masters wire-to-wire; Craig Wood in 1941, Arnold Palmer in 1960, Nicklaus in 1972, Raymond Floyd in 1976, and Jordan Spieth in 2015.^[9] Other players have led wire-to-wire if ties after a round are included, most recently Dustin Johnson in the 2020 Masters Tournament. Jon Rahm is the current champion. He won the 2023 Masters Tournament with a score of (−12).^[10]
