Frank Sinatra Golf Irons (Pics now posted)

Hello WRX, last year, my Grandma & Grandpa gave me some irons that my Grandpa got while playing in Frank Sinatra's celebrity Invitational a long time ago. I was just wondering if anybody would know the value of these? I can post pictures if needed. I've been trying to find an answer for a loong time.

Do you have poof of authenticity?

Post pics if you can, I'd like to see them just to see what they are.

Yea, COA would definitely help here.

Not to mention that its not exactly clear what youre talking about. He got some irons in a tournament? Sinatras personal irons? Sinatra branded irons? Regular [insert brand name here] irons that were raffled off at a Sinatra tournament?

I think they are Sinatra branded irons. I'll post pics soon.

Are these the irons you speak of?

No, lol

Sorry the pictures turned out so big. To see the full picture I think you have to click on it. Only a portion of them would fit on the page.

Oh, the cavities on the backs are some sort of pearl inlay I think, if that means anything.

Very retro cool. FWIW, these items will probably be worth more to a Sinatra collector than a golf collector. Now, if you can find a few Sinatra collectors who are into golf club collecting as well...jackpot!

Very true, although it will probably be very hard find someone who loves Frank Sinatra, AND is into golf. I just wish I could place a specific figure on what these would be worth.

Gives more than one meaning to "Non-Conforming Grooves"

Bag has a date of 1990 gawd I hope that's not "a long long time ago" I graduated high school in 1989. LOL Still OP these are really cool thanks for sharing.

Those irons either had to be relics when they were won/given.. or that bag is from a different tournament... But.. you know what I would say.. that Pawnstars TV show.. try to take it into that pawn shop.. a good reason to go to vegas.. and maybe they will know a good sinatra collectibles guy.. and a golf club expert.. ... and you could be on TV :P

Yep; tough to put a value on something super-rare, maybe even one-of-a-kind; no prior examples to use as a basis. As a 51 year-old musician, I'm probably at the lower age end of the Sinatra fan demographic. My $.02 worth; don't know what you're looking to get out of them, but I'd put the lot on eBay with a minimum bid of $500, a Buy It Now price of $750 & wait for those searching for Sinatra collectibles to find you. Or they'd make a great donation to a Snatra museum somewhere, if one exists.

There is another bag that I think was from the same year, couldn't find it though. Haha, I wish I lived near Vegas.

That's the kind of tournament I want to play in. Get a set of irons and/or a staff bag! Yes, please!

Google is your friend.

That's a good start.

Maybe call them and see what they have to say.

There's a frank Sinatra oil painting on eBay for $504,000

take it to that pawn shop in vegas

I've got a somewhat matching putter

Wow, thanks! $625! Plus I have another bag just like that.

Ok, ok. I'm curious. Was your grandpa some kind of celebrity? As for price, auction in ebay, let it ride. Never know.

No, he wasn't a celebrity. It was a charity event that you payed to get in. It was like $2,000 to play. He played with some celebrities however, but I can't name them off the top of my head.

Man this is a mystery. Almost nothing to base what the price would be off of...

Saw that both the Bags I have are on sale for $625 on deanandfranks.com, not aure if that means anything though. Anybody know ANYTHING about the irons??

All kidding aside, why not reach out via call or email to the Pawn Stars and send them the photos along with a question if the item might be something they would be interested in having on the show. I am sure, as many unique and valuable items as they have on their show, that it is not simply coincidence and happenstance; people with interesting items no doubt contacted the show/shop, arrangements were made to screen the items and choose the ones for the show, and the filming took place. They don't have cameras there all of the time - there has to be some form of rigging to get just the right items of interest. I think your irons and bags would fit the bill - worst case they say "No thanks" or there is no reply; best case you get your items appraised, end up on TV, and maybe even sell them. Especially given Sinatra's connection to Vegas!

I might have to! Wouldn't that be cool!? I'll send em an email, and see what they say, thanks!

One of the cool things about the tournament was, my grandfather actually got Arnold Palmer's autograph at it!! If I remember to ask my grandmother I could find out some other information like the celebrities who he played with.
