Overview
- Lloyds Auctions sold the cap on Australia Day on the Gold Coast, setting a new high for a Bradman-worn baggy green.
- An anonymous Australian buyer secured the item, which will stay in Australia for public display at a prominent yet-unnamed museum.
- The wool cap bears “D. G. Bradman” and “S. W. Sohoni” inside and was described as being in notably good condition.
- Only about 11 Bradman baggy greens are known to exist, reflecting an era when players received a new cap for each series.
- The hammer price was A$460,000, totaling A$535,900 with buyer’s premium, while Shane Warne’s baggy green remains the overall record at A$1,007,500.
