Here is an old Don Budge Signature racket. These date back to the 1940's since Budge had his big run of Grand Slam events in the 1930's. He was the first player to win all four slams in a calendar year and thus set a standard for judging players as the G.O,A.T. (greatest of all time.) Up until Laver completed two of these Calendar year Grand Slam wins of all four events he could have arguably been called the GOAT. Now of course they call whichever player has the most total wins the GOAT. That is currently Federer but Nadal seems to be chasing that record depending on when both retire and who wins a few more in the meantime. Novak is also chasing the numbers as well so we'll see how things end up.
Don Budge remains a top name in the history of tennis and his one handed backhand was legendary for its effectiveness.

You can see this racket was barely used.
With a Current Value around $10 plus shipping costs add $10 minimum. To own one you'll have to part with at least $20 as of 11/2019 unless you find one at a yard sale for a a few dollars. Most are not in great shape so if you find a very good condition one it should fetch more depending on how old it is. This model comes from the 1940s. Some later versions may have been produced into the 1950s.
