This impressive, large, rare, fully signed and numbered, original, certified first day cover is one of only 120 ever made. This cover is number ‘16’ and was produced in a limited edition of only 120 to commemorate South African rugby stamps and players from 1964 to 1995 as well as the 1995 postmark.

On the back there’s a short story, its number ‘16/120’ and it is signed and certified by ‘KEITH CLAYTON’ (Author of numerous rugby books). Other than minor foxing on the back it’s in great condition and measures 32,5cm x 23cm.
