Most expensive cricket memorabilia sold at a private auction
The most expensive piece of cricket history is Australian cricketer, Sir Donald Bradman’s 1948 cap which was sold for A$425,000 (US$283,000 or £170,000). It was bought by Tim Serisier in June 2003 in a pre-auction deal with Ludgrove’s auctioneers from Bradman’s Godson.
It was the cap which Bradman wore on the 1948 tour of England. In that tour, Bradman scored the last of his 29 test centuries and then he made the most famous duck in cricketing history in his final Test match.
