Welsh & Wider Rugby Miscellany (11)

Welsh & Wider Rugby Miscellany (11): What a little trove, with a central gem: an original 1970 WRU £50 deed of debenture, one of the 4,000 of that price, issued by the Union to finance the then-new National Stadium at Cardiff Arms Park. Large fold out legal document of four large pages with relevant signatures & stamps, a great historical record of a benefit which was scheduled to expire in 2019; two of the increasingly popular & collectable 4pp 'pirate' programme issues, for the matches between Wales & Scotland at Swansea in 1950 (Grand Slam for Wales) and Edinburgh 1951 (19-0 shock defeat for Wales!); WRU Cup Final programmes for 1978 & 1987 (Swansea v Newport & Cardiff respectively) & tickets for 1987 & 1988; the popular 'Heads & Tales' Welsh Rugby Stars Caricatures by Neath's 'Haydn', 28pp 1956; full set of 50 WRU Centenary issue, 'Great Welsh Players' cartoon cigarette-style cards; Rothmans Rugby Almanac 1963-4 for the NZ tour, and Midland Counties (West) v NZ prog, 1972; with the S African tourists of 1951-2 4pp photographic souvenir & fixture list. Bargain…? Generally G or better
