LOGO GOLF BALL COLLECTIONS - The great thing about collecting logo golf balls is that you can COLLECT THEM, TRADE THEM, PLAY THEM.  There is no right or wrong type of logo to collect, it depends on the interest of the individuals collecting the balls.  Collections are seperated into catagories based on the focus and interest of the collector such as: Tournaments, Signature Logos, Golf Course, Sports, Beer, Wine, Liqour, Restaurants, Golf Course, Technology, Autos, Trucking, Food, Government and the list goes on and on.   The fun of logo collecting is that you can get your whole family and friends involved.     

From my experience top collections are:  Golf Courses,  Signature Logos, Golf Tournaments, Sports logos, ,  military and government, Casino,  Liquor, Autos.  The collection can also be more specific within the catagory.  An example of specific Golf Courses would be the Golf Digests Top 100 Courses,  or maybe the courses you have played.    Sports logos seem to be specific to major league or college. 

One of our top requested collectibles are called Signature Logo golf balls.  These balls are a logo made of a facisimlie of the players logo.  These are usually of the top Tour Players that have contracts with the sponsors to use thier signature on the balls.    These balls often fall into two catagories: signature logos and vintage golf balls. 

Another top requested collectible is the PGA Tour Event Logos 

Other type of balls that fall into the Logo collectibles are the Ping two color ball.  There is a great Ebay guide written on the history of these balls I suggest you review that guide for the history and collectibility of these balls, no need for me to rewrite it.    The newest colored ball that is a collectible is the Nike Mojo Karma ball which is found  in new boxes of the Nike Mojo, it is like a treasure hunt to see if your box has the prize inside. 

Golf balls have changed dramatically over the years another fun collection for those that love the history of golf is collecting the old vintage golf balls.   To determine how old the golf balls are I use the following books as my reference guides:

500 Years of Golf Balls - History & Collectors Guide - by John F Hotchkiss - Antique trader books

Signature Golf Ball Collectors Guide- by Paul Biocini

Golf Ball Collectors Guide - by Paul Biocini

Logo golf balls on ebay are sold individually in auctions, on Ebay stores and in groups or in bulk.   The prices will vary based on the rarity of the logo.    

Logo balls are for the most part used golf balls.  The descriptions of the logo are based on the clarity of the logo, not referencing the quality or type of ball.   Vintage balls may be old, ugly but rare and collectible.   

Happy collecting:

Kathy
