    How important is memorabilia to you?

    06/08/2026 | 9 mins.
    For many people, collecting memorabilia from their favourite sports teams, musicians or artists is more than just a hobby - it's a lifelong passion. Every item tells a story, capturing a special moment in time, and for some collectors, those treasured pieces can also become valuable investments.
    Andrea’s guest has spent decades building an extraordinary collection of GAA memorabilia during his time as a referee. Now, he's opening up that collection for a very special reason. Carthage Buckley is preparing to auction a number of these unique items, with all proceeds going to a worthy cause.
    He joins Andrea and more to discuss!
