Great work (and great painting)!

I wonder if that is an adults only commitee

Be pretty hard to find an original guernsey. Maybe relatives of a Carlton player of that time would have it passed down through generations.

Jarusa!

About 2 years ago, a guy approached Rick Milne (licensed valuer, particularly of VFL stuff) saying he had a Carlton jumper and two caps - one from 1907 and 1908...Rick told him to insure them immediately, adding that he had about $50k-60k worth of memorabilia.

So I would contact Rick Milne as he might still have the guys details. Also try Charles Leski...he gets plenty of Carlton memorabilia - however I'm not sure he's had a pre-1909 jumper go to auction. Best to give him a call and find out - if he has, he'd be able to give the club the details of the purchaser and see if they wanted to donate it to the club for exhibition purposes.

about 15 years ago I caught the Carlton memorabilia bug, mainly focussed on cigarette and trading cards along with memberships, social club medallions, WEGs and other old-school paraphernalia from 1900-1970s.

I got addicted to the chase and picked up some amazing rare cards from the early years of the century. I paid $100+ for the odd special card. Absolutely loved it - to think people were paying big bucks for "limited edition" modern cards when these amazing bits of social history were about.

Unfortunately I was young and stupid and flogged most of the good stuff to finance a long overseas trip. I assume it's all worth a fair bit now...

I'm totally in favour of the club investing some decent money in creating a real museum at Princes Park. The magic of discovering CFCs great history and imagining footy of the 20s or 40s should be shared with young fans.

I remember reading ages ago that a complete set of Carlton memberships were stolen from the club, there was zero security back then - absolute travesty. Time the club took better care of our legacy.

I have one of those old mirrors with the 1907 team photo on it. I got it from an opshop about 20 years. Does anybody know how common these are?

Pretty common...they were produced in the late eighties / early nineties I believe so don't really have any value. Much better off having the original photo of the losing South Melbourne team of 1907.

Why? They is losers.

Great idea and about time it happened

Excellent stuff!

2014, not too far away now. I remember getting a certificate from the club for the 125th anniversary. I wasn't a member back then, but I must have been on some database or other to be acknowledged as a supporter.

How the hell did Ian Collins even get a look in at our club again.

I think Fev may have a photo or two that he could contribute

Good stuff Carlton, and congrats to Jarusa for all his vision and hard work on getting the blueseum up and running.

Seriously, great initiative and about time. If we can find a way to bring something physical out of our historical websites and memories then we'll all be winners.

Well he is a former player and has good management skills.
He would have mixed with past players of the 20's , 30's etc. He has historical knowledge and I don't see why he shouldn't be involved in a Carlton history group. He is not running the club.
Ken Hands would have been another who would have been good, but perhaps his age may have prevented him.

Please rewatch the 1968 finals series for the answer to this question.

Please refer to his role as general manager 1982-1993 and president 2003-05..

I think that is a fair legacy to leave at the club.
