Bradman Baggy Green fetches record price
- On Monday, one of Sir Donald Bradman's Baggy Green caps sold for $460,000 at Lloyds Auctions, setting the highest price for a Bradman cap to an anonymous Australian collector.
- The cap, given by Sir Donald Bradman to S.W. Sohoni, stayed in one family for more than 75 years before Sohoni's family decided last year to share it publicly.
- Inscribed `D.G. Bradman` and `S.W. Sohoni`, the cap remained in good condition, never publicly displayed, and spent over 70 years in Mumbai as one of just 11 known Baggy Greens.
- Lloyds Auctions said the buyer intends to have the cap placed on public display in a prominent Australian museum; the Baggy Green will remain in Australia but the museum is unrevealed.
- The sale positions Bradman material alongside other major memorabilia results such as a $1,007,500 Warne cap and a $450,000 1928 Bradman cap, underscoring Bradman's national icon status and rarity of era caps.
