What's on ebay? GGO Print Signed by Arthur Sarnoff

"Wood Frame Matted Print Signed Arthur Sarnoff. Wonderfully illustrated print of the Greater Greensboro Open Golf Tournament, surrounded by the beautiful Sedgefield Inn. Spectators looking on as Gary Player (well known for his black attire), attempting his putt at the 18th hole. Unsure, but I do believe this to be a lithograph print, however I am unwilling to tear the back off to determine so. Research shows this to be a print of an original painting "SEDGEFIELD" as commissioned for "The Greater Greensboro Open", I believe to be illustrating the 1970 golf tournament. This framed print measures 22 3/4" x 17", original paper backing remains attached, as well as the wire for hanging. Condition of this piece is great, with little to no fading of the very colorful print, colors remaining vibrant. Condition issues to be noted; wood frame has some scratches present, but is sturdy with joints remaining tight. Minimal yellowing around the white matted edges. Original paper backing also remains attached, with few stains, tears, some areas around the edges where it has pulled loose. Glass / Plexiglass is clear, free of any cracks or breaks."
