The September issue of SA Rugby Magazine which is in stores now includes a free Victor Matfield 2011 card as well as a BIG-BALL promotional card.
Craig and Luke Duffield have found 3 of card 174. How lucky is that?!
There are lots of people trading their 2009, 2010 and 2011 cards on our Facebook Fan Page - just click on the Facebook icon at the bottom of our website page to join in.
Card 174 depicts the first ever Springbok team to win a Rugby World Cup and is the most rare card in the Collection. The card is in the stock that has been distributed but as the Collection has only been in the Trade for less than a month there is a reasonable chance that the boxes containing card 174 are still to be sent out to the stores - we are all waiting for the first person to find it :)
When you have finished your Collection send in a photo and you will be added to our Collectors' Corner.
