Don Bradman

[Mcchawk]

I'm so happy I had to post something. Today I bought a signed (real, certificate etc) picture of Don Bradman for $200 at a sports auction. I think it will be taking pride of place in my new pool room.

Good on you, Bradman has always and will always be my favourite all time sportsman. What a wonderful person, may he rest in peace and may we never forget what he gave to cricket and many generations of people.

Thanks mate, I'm still in disbelief I've longed for this moment for along time. I keep looking at the picture and can't believe it.

Good pick up Mcchawk. Got one myself in our poolroom, along with a few others. Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Melbourne Strom '99 premeirship team photo (signed by every player), james Hird signed jumper, pictyre of the '99 winning World Cup Wallablies signed by every Wallaby. The Bradman one has always had a special place in my heart.

Thanks, I'm currently (and collecting over the years) putting together a pool room I've got autographs (eg Stones, Oasis, Smashing Pumpkins and lots of others, sportspeople like Thorpe, Freeman, Paul Stoddart (minardi boss) Schumacher. But this will take pride of place next to my fully signed Hawthorn Team of the Century picture. Now to get that Cascade neon advertisment.........

Great stuff, where'd you get that from?
I'm thinking of getting something myself.
I already have a Bradman Diary signed by the man himself, but I need to get it verified.
I also have a Bradman toby jug which is pretty rare, my grandfather gave it to me- so it's pretty spesh.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes it's like I got married the happiness I'm feeling for this item at present

Congrats.

A mate of mine sent a letter to Sir Donald about 6 months before he died with an autograph bat and a cheque for $50 dollars to be donated to the Bradman Museum. Bradman signed the bat and returned it to him with a letter from the Bradman Trust confirming that it was an authentic signature (I'm guessing that's as good as a COA?). The bat is now framed with a few photos and gold plaques and looks fantastic.

I'd love to get something like that done myself but signed Bradman memorabilia has gone through the roof. You got an absolute bargain!

I have a Richmond Jumper signed by the whole Richmond squad from last yar and frame

Anyone want it?

Bradman is overrated.
