AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Gnomes, those quirky statues that people put in their gardens, are flying off the shelves at Augusta National.
The Masters golf-centric gnomes been selling out within a couple of hours each morning after the tournament gift shop opens. Patrons are more than willing to wait in hour-long lines for the $49.50 ceramic figurine that has become a highly coveted collector’s item.
Augusta National has been selling the one-foot high gnomes — which come in different colorful designs each year — since 2016.
And they’re growing in popularity and value as time passes.
One seller has listed the collection of eight Masters gnomes for $16,000 on eBay.
Others who visited the shop this week have already put this year’s gnome up for sale on eBay at nearly 10 times what they paid.
John McGovern and his wife Erin made the trek to Augusta from Carlsbad, California and said the gnome was a “targeted item” for them.
