1988 "The Captains’ Dinner" Signed Limited Edition Souvenir Booklet (No. 0256) Offered for the first time is a truly one of a kind artifact from the personal collection of the legendary Arthur Morris. This limited edition souvenir booklet (Number 0256) was issued for the prestigious "The Captains' Dinner," held on January 28, 1988, by The Primary Club of Australia at the Sydney Regent Hotel. The event took place on the eve of the Bicentenary Test match to celebrate all living captains of England and Australia. This particular copy is of incomparable importance as it belonged to Arthur Morris himself. His name, "A. Morris," is handwritten on the front cover, marking its place at his seat during this historic gathering. While the booklet was originally issued without signatures, Morris personally curated this copy by having his peers and fellow legends sign their respective pages. The result is a comprehensive "who’s who" of 20th-century cricket royalty. Confirmed Signatures Include: Sir Donald Bradman, Frederick Brown, Arthur Lindsay Hassett, Ian Johnson, Peter May, Brian Booth, Michael Smith, Richie Benaud, Edward Dexter, William Lawry, John Edrich, Ian Chappell, Greg Chappell, and Robert Willis. Features & Details: Provenance: Direct from the personal estate of Arthur Morris. Edition: Limited Edition Number 0256. Condition: Excellent vintage condition, preserved as a personal memento. Historical Significance: Features a "Living Legends" assembly of captains that can never be replicated. Significance of the Booklet The "Bradman" Factor: Any authentic, personal signature from Sir Donald Bradman remains the gold standard in cricket memorabilia. The Arthur Morris Connection: Items owned and used by a "Team of the Century" member carry a high-tier provenance that collectors prize above items signed for the general public. A "Closed" Collection: This booklet represents a complete "set" of signatures from a specific, historic night in 1988. Since many of these legends have since passed away, the ability to find all these signatures in one place, specifically collected by one of their own, is exceptionally rare.
