- Cap worn by Australian great in his first Test up for auction
- ‘Taj Mahal’ of Australian cricket hats could fetch more than $1m
The last time a big-name baggy green was auctioned off it fetched more than $1m and, when bidding opens this week for Sir Don Bradman’s first Australian cricket cap, there are hopes even that record can be broken.
Auctioneers are confident the amount paid for the dog-eared hat that debuted in the 1928-29 series against England will rival the proceeds from the sale of Shane Warne’s cap, which raised $1,007,500 for the Australian Red Cross bushfire appeal in January this year.
