Hi everyone
I was wondering if anybody has an idea of what this would be worth its a A4 size sheet with the photo of the ship leaving england with the english team on it for australia and all the english players signatures (bodyline series ).
Also can anyone tell me the name of the ship.

Sorry, no idea what its worth, but that is a very interesting item. Was the photo of the ship already on the paper before the sigs?

The ship was called the RMS Otranto.......i think.

There was an auction for a similiar photo of the 1926 Australian team (no Bradman) that was estimated at $1500-$2000
