What's on ebay? Greensboro Generals Jersey


"The Greensboro Generals name was originally used by the city's Eastern Hockey League and Southern Hockey League franchises. The EHL team played from 1959 through 1972, and the SHL team played from 1973 through the league's mid-season failure in 1977."
(Ok it has nothing to do with golf or the tournament in Greensboro, but with the passing of Carson Bain this item on ebay made me smile.)

What's on ebay? 1997 GGCC Smart Card


"1997 PGA Tour Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic
Golf Smart Card with integrated IC Chip

We do not recall seeing one of these golf cards offered on eBay before. It is a smart card issued for the 1997 Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic (GGCC) tour stop. It features a Chrysler from the tournament sponsor with the GGCC logo. This tournament was won by Frank Nobilo. This is a great piece of golf memorabilia and would make a great additon to any collection. There were four different smart cards issued for the tournament that year. This is a must for the golf card collector.

Interesting fact: Smart Card are characterized by the integrated or embedded circuits and are sometimes called ICCs or Integrated Circuit Cards."
