Year of issue February 2002. Auction is for 14 of the 15 cards in the set. Only missing Richard McCaw. Size 55 x 90mm (closed) and 55 x 123mm (opened as shown in images). These pop-ups were issued at all TABs with each bet on which player would be the first try scorer. The cards also promoted the TAB’s v-bet (virtual betting) competition, which was accessed via their web site. All contestants were given an imaginary $100 and were able to place pretend bets on all Super 12 games. Contestants could win a number of prizes. The card consists of several layers with a die-cut showing the player sandwiched in the middle. When manipulated properly the die cut card showing the player would pop out a slot at the top with the outer cardboard becoming a base enabling the player card to stand up. The back of the die-cut player card gives a brief biography of the player shown.

I have no full sets left and with each sale the number of different cards I have available grows fewer, so get in quick to make sure you don't miss out.

Very difficult to get set. Due to a printing and distribution error the card featuring Tana Umaga was never officially issued. There are only approx 50 known examples of the Umaga card. Luckily this auction includes the very rare Umaga card.

The 14 players included in this auction are: Ben Blair Loki Crichton Christian Cullen Troy Flavell Doug Howlett Byron Kelleher Andrew Mehrtens Deon Muir Anton Oliver Bruce Reihana Carlos Spencer Paul Tito Tana Umaga Jeff Wilson

All cards in very good condition.
