Someone arguably bagged a bargain when this Mauro Tassotti AC Milan shirt sold at auction recently.
The hammer dropping at £500 - the midpoint of the £400-600 estimate - seems an extremely modest price paid for the Ennerre-made lot considering its iconic design, classic Hitachi sponsorship logo and age.
Being from the 1982-83 season just adds to the item’s cachet, as the Rossoneri won Serie B and promotion to the Italian top flight, with incredible feats at home and in European competition on the horizon.
Finally, the association with Milan legend Tassotti takes the shirt into the stratosphere. What a steal.
This item was sold by Graham Budd Auctions, a specialist in sporting memorabilia.
