Ron Barassi is auctioning his collection of rare memorabilia, collected from a lifetime spent in the VFL/AFL world.
From North jumpers worn by the coach during training sessions, to his premiership medals in 1975 and 1977, it provides a glimpse into the time Barassi was at Arden Street.
“I have enjoyed the journey behind the awards, the mementos, the historic pieces, the souvenirs and curiosities. I think now is a good time to share these treasures with the collecting community,” Barassi said.
“I hope that in the caring hands of public institutions and private collectors these items will bring pleasure to a wide public and be best preserved for the social and historic interest of future generations.”
