RCNZ24    Crusaders 2002 Super 12  postmark on commercial cover   US$2

Note: The above machine cancellation was used unannounced apparently for one postal clearance only and on one machine only. The postmark refers to the fact that Canterbury was celebrating holding the Ranfurly Shield for 3 years. The following day (Saturday) saw many past Canterbury players attend a special function and the Ranfurly Shield match against Wellington which ended in an historic 38 all draw which meant Canterbury retained the shield.

Note: This postal stationery card with imprinted $1.50 stamp was issued by NZPost for supporters to send a message to the All Blacks in Australia on their 2003 World Cup campaign.

RCNZ33    Centennial postcards (2) with Welpex Rugby player postmarks.     US$6

Note: the picture side of these postcards is as RCNZ28

Note: All the 2005 slogans were done on a machine which gave a very poor quality impression. We will supply the best possible but all are inferrior quality.
