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.

The AFL is the national governing body for Australian rules

football in Australia and has a rich history dating back to 1897, while the VFL

was the premier state-level competition in Victoria before it merged with the

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

sought after by collectors, football enthusiasts, and historians alike, as it

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

sport over time.

Some notable items that could be included in a collection of
