Don Bradman’s iconic baggy green fetches whopping 438,500 Australian dollars

Sir Donald Bradman’s final baggy green cap, worn during the legendary 1948 “Invincibles” Ashes tour of England, has been sold for an astounding AUD 438,500. The National Museum of Australia in Canberra secured the iconic piece, ensuring this priceless cricket artifact remains in the country and accessible to the public.

Widely regarded as the greatest cricketer of all time, Bradman captained Australia on the historic 1948 tour, where the team went unbeaten in 34 matches, including a dominant Ashes series win over England. The cap is deeply symbolic—not only of that remarkable campaign—but also of the conclusion of Bradman’s illustrious international career, which spanned 1928 to 1948.
