1982 ping eye iron set

amj15 · March 11, 2015

Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster. I love reading the articles and have improved quite a bit. Also, im on mobile so I hope this is an acceptable place for this question (?). I just bought a 3-PW iron set of Ping Eye black dots. After verifying this with Ping, they said they were made in July of 82. I have a set of Hogan irons I use mainly with some newer Pings thrown in. I actually bought these Ping Eyes because Ive always heard good things about them. Then yesterday I was about hit them at a driving range when a friend said to check the value of them first. Well, the problem is, its so hard to find a somewhat accurate price for these. Google seems to think I mean Ping Eye 2, as most searches come back as such. Ive seen on Ebay $150-$200, which I would consider probably norm, but then saw a guy post a while back a friend offered him $2000. Which seems steep. Anyway sorry for the long post, but could anyone give me an idea of the value of these. 1982 Ping Eye black dot. They are in almost mint condition and have the original Karsten Ping grips. I just dont want to hit irons that may be worth a bit, ya know? Thanks again.

I think It's only the + no + edition of the ping eye 2 that are collectable, they were made for only a short spell during some groove type issues they were having, all others, ( and there are many seeing as they were one of the best selling irons for a decade) are not particularly worth much, but are still popular) I think it was a brand new still in box unopened full set of 1 to sw that went for the $2k, Look on the back of the head for the " + no +" sign

And the beryllium copper Eye 2's.

Thank you both...these are not the eye 2, just fyi...Original eye. I agree the copper eye 2 seem to be a collectors item. Thanks again, guess I can freely hit them.

Yeah I got that. Would agree you would typically get $100-200 for the set. Not sure about a mint set, original Eye's aren't really a collector's item.
