The collection of Australian Football League (AFL) and

Victorian Football League (VFL) memorabilia includes items related to the

history and culture of these two football leagues. This could include items

such as player jerseys, game-worn gear, signed footballs, match-day programs,

trading cards, photographs, posters, and other promotional materials.

AFL in 1990. As such, a collection of AFL and VFL memorabilia would be highly

would provide a valuable insight into the development and evolution of the

sport over time.
