This auction is for 109 issues (1-108 in order, with 2 different cover issues of # 23).

Issues #1, 19, 29 (Colin Meads Greatest All Black of the 20th Century), and 39 labeled Collector’s editions.

Issue 23 had two different covers. One for the South Island and the other for the North Island.

Other issues of interest include Issue 78 when NZ Rugby from schoolboy to the All Blacks ranged from either been unbeaten, World no. 1, or world champions.

This auction is probably for the collector or sports memorabilia on-sellers. I would welcome some feedback in the Q&A if there is a particular issue you’re after a particular season of issues you’re after if no one bids. To bidders who want to buy the lot, postage and packaging will cost $91.18 for two SIZE 3 Boxes weighing 10-15kg each.
