Vic: Vendor sells Bradman baggy green at a loss

The owner of a baggy green cap worn by Sir DONALD BRADMAN in his final Test for Australia
has sold the historic cap for a loss.

Auctioneer CHARLES LESKI says the cap sold today for an undisclosed sum over 400 thousand
dollars .. after it was passed in without a bid at auction last night.

Earlier this month the Melbourne auctioneer predicted the cap would sell for 750 thousand
dollars but it's gone well below its reserve of 450 thousand.

Worn by BRADMAN on the 1948 Invincibles Ashes Tour of England .. the cap comes with
a letter of authenticity and another personal letter from the DON himself.
