Ed Oliver, Jr. signed B&W 8x10 photo

Ed Oliver, Jr. signed and dated 1942 8x10 vintage sepia photo showing him watching Gene Sarazen put, also signed by Sarazen! Edward Stewart "Porky" Oliver, Jr. earned his nicknamed because he stood 5 foot 9 inches but weighed 240 pounds. He won 8 times on the PGA Tour in the1940s and 1950s. He was well known for finishing second in several major championships but not letting it get him down; lost to Ben Hogan in the finals of the 1946 PGA Championship, second to Julius Boros in the 1952 U.S. Open, and second to Ben Hogan in the 1953 Masters. He also finished in a tied with Lawson Little and Gene Sarazen at the 1940 U.S. Open before being disqualified for teeing off 15 minutes early. He played on three Ryder Cup teams (1947, 1951, and 1955). He lost several years of playing time while serving in the Army during World War II. He died in Wilmington, Delaware of cancer at the age of 45 and he remains a strong candidate for future HOF induction! His autograph in any form is extremely rare, and this one’s a pbeauty!
