Do you want to spend 15,000 $ in Rugby memorabilia ?

This is a genuine All Black jersey from the famous 1905 tour. Just the same as the one that David Gallaher is wearing on this postcard... (credit to John Ovalballs for the picture...)

This jersey was worn by George Gillet, wing foreward against Wales in their only - controversial... - loss (3 to nil) during this 35 games campaign across England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France and the USA... It will be auctionned next April 26 in Cardiff, and could go as high as 10,000 £ (basically 15,000 $ or €). If you want to place a bid, all details are here...

I have posted many times about the 1905 "Originals" All Blacks... here is a quick reminder :

• The 1905 Haka
  
• A picture of the team before crushing England 15 - 0
• Some pictures while playing vs France on January 1st 1906
• The full team and there (on my previous blog... I will need to post them again here...)
• Introducing a nice book on Amazon (details here)

And our friend John (Master of Collecting...) is displaying a whole array of postcards here on this topic...
