Never got to see him play either, but he's always been a favourite of mine. Had to pull out the PC and flick through it today, sad I won't be able to get him to sign another one for me.
Have heard from a mate who knows the family very well that the great Johnny Raper passed away this morning. A sad day for rugby league and Australian Sport in general when you lose an immortal. Condolences to his family and friends.
Glad the number 7 ended up with you mate. I just needed a Johns for my legends collection, and he was kind enough to open a bunch of boxes and cracked one for me. He then hit the #7 afterwards. It should always have gone to a Knights fan (i am, rather unfortunately this season, a Dragons fan)...
Can someone also confirm for me that there were no "Case Card" or "alternate" versions of the Ricky Stewart or Arthur Summons Legends cards. It really bugs me that one year in particular is incomplete.
Well, I know exactly when and by whom the number 7 was pulled and can confirm it was a couple of years ago, and that I was offered the card but couldn't stump up the cash. So the bloke who claimed he had it was flat out lying. Can also confirm that Johns replacement cards are no longer available...
The first two, Raper and Johns did not stickers and were hand numbered. The Tallis doesn't have a sticker because its one of 5 from the Master sets that year.
Ok, so I imagine I'm just one of many seeking these, but I have to ask. If anyone has 2020 legends case cards they could possibly let go then let me know. They're the only legends cards I'm missing as far as I'm aware so I'd love to keep this whole collection going. Heaps to trade and happy to...
