Rugbynostalgia

Rugby trading cards…especially getting them signed is my big passion! To get some content going, thought I would do a list of 100 of my favorite signed rugby cards. 1 per day. It could be the card, the encounter or even the player that make me like the card. Enjoy!

This from the Province vs Sharks match programme on 08/08/08. It was Dewaldt Duvenhage’s rookie season at Western-Province.

Who am I and where am I?

Humble beginnings

#RIP Cornal Hendricks.

Little tester: 1) Which 2 teams played here? 2) What competition? 3) Year?

@JPdebeer1981 2003

@1Rugbynostalgia That must be around the 2003-2005 era?

Guess the year….

@badeyePB Spot on

@1Rugbynostalgia 2003 ?

Big mailday as this beauty arrived! 12/06/1968 British Lions vs NWC match programme. Not many of these around as the match was played in Upington. What is the state of the Danie Kuys Stadium and what is the capacity.

#Card 73 Jeff “Goldie” Wilson 1995 prototype card. What a great winger he was. Signed by Jeff.

Well done @SimonBorchardt and Gavin Rich!

I know I am heavily biased in this case, but this is a special read!! Well done to all involved. So many memories/stories/tributes of James. Passionate effort doing justice to James. It really moved me working through this one. A stand out book in my library. #14

Mine is on it’s way! I will share some thoughts on arrival. If you are a James Small fan do not miss out on this publication.

Card #74 is dedicated to All Black Fullback Gerald Kember. 1 Test (14pts) in 1970 during the tour of SA. Fergie McCormick the reason he did not rack up more caps. Depicted on 1970 Transvaler sticker (you got them with your paper). The orange variant is scarce! RIP 2/10/2024

If we don’t see proper over the counter Springbok Rugby Trading Cards within the next few months it will never happen…. Kids are Bok-crazy! Money to be made….why is nobody investing in this? @Springboks

Anybody here still play for the Swifts Rugby Club in Uitenhage? At some point Swifts and Old Collegians merged to be the Uitenhage Rugby Club. Look at the names a small club could attract for a centenary exhibition match in 1991.

Boland vs Transvaal 02/07/1977 (Currie Cup).

@SimonBorchardt I know you were involved with this project? If I may ask, did it happen and where can I get this book?

#75 Another Currie Cup Winning Captain (1995/1996) Gary Teichmann. Signed. This a 1997 Natal Fixture Card. They were handed to suite owners. I have 8 different players.
