swisstrader Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) I wonder if Japanese manufacturers issue COA's for gear that's limited run. I think someone mentioned it for Scottie's and I've seen it done for some limited Bettis or Miuras. I would think a boutique like Epon that only produces 300 or 500 items should include some sort of COA. I never personally cared so much about a golf club that's "limited edition". I buy my golf gear to play better golf, not make a profit or think long term imvestment. I also believe that there are very few if any limited run golf sets that suddenly went up in value and brought 3-4 times the original purchase price, unless we're talking about clubs by Tiger or Nicklaus. Just like I say to my wife who is in the equestrian business, to say "investment horse" is an oxymoron at best.

tomcat Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Quick question... Would you play such a beauty or would you keep it jealously in its box for couple of years...So is it an investment or a new weapon in your bag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) As an aside, I use to collect MacGregor Tommy Armour Silver Scott Putters. Looks very much like the Zen! Before Ebay, people were selling them for $1000 to $1500 a putter. After Ebay, it turned out they were not as rare as one thought. I think they are selling for about $100 a putter. Oh well. I still have about 10 of these putters. Great looking. Let me know if anyone wants to see pics and I can post.

swisstrader Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 As I've said before, it is EXTREMELY rare for golf gear to go up in value. Yes, for Scottie's, but they are a special breed and due to all the hype, the skies the limit with some of the small run or 1 of X putters. Not true with just about any other manufacturer and that's for putters, irons, and drivers. Would I like to think that my now out of stock and never to be made again Personals will double or triple in value 2 years from now...sure. Do I think that will ever happen?...nope!
