Rare Olympic and boxing treasures head to auction

For sale are 765 historic sporting items from the heroes of the Olympics, athletics, cricket, boxing, cycling, golf, rugby, tennis football and horse racing with BUDDS over two days, 17-18 March - fascinating sports items that will excite collectors to offer record prices. David Convery of BUDDS comments: “This is a market that has continued to grow over the last 30 years as collectors vie to own something linked to a passion for a sporting hero of theirs. It is a market that has now become a true alternative investment. Sports memorabilia is not just a passion, it’s an investment in sporting history. The items we sell are from moments that made headlines and caused stadiums to erupt. Now preserved, authenticated and ready to own.” Walking into BUDDS salerooms is an exercise in nostalgia and excitement for all around you from Lester Piggott’s
