CONDITION Wise this jersey is EXCELLENT, and still in its original state.
The jersey has been very well preserved, being framed between sheets of glass.
The white spots in the pictures are as a result of the camera flash.
The signatures are all fully readable, with only a very slight fading on a few (See photos). They have not been enhanced, or tampered with, in any way. They are as they were written on the jersey.
You are buying the Real Authentic Original article.
We have provided many photos to give as accurate an indication as possible.
We guarantee that this jersey is not a copy, or one with facsimile signatures. This is verified by the make of jersey, and by the photos.
A Signed jersey of the 2007 South Africa SPRINGBOKS side is an extremely hard item to find, as there were not many, and most current owners refuse to part with such a great item.
This jersey deserves its rightful place in a Top Museum of Rugby History, or in a true connoisseur's collection.
Serious Bidder's only on this item PLEASE.
You will not be disappointed.
Please be mindful that this jersey is framed in glass, in a heavy frame measuring 34" x 38". We will gladly ship it in this form, if the auction winner desires to keep everything as it is. We will wrap, pad, and crate the frame as best as possible, but the risk of the glass breaking during shipment will be great. All shipping options and costs are for the account of the Auction winner.
The other option would be to remove the jersey from the frame, and to send it separately, so as to cut down on costs, and risk. The shipping cost quoted is for the jersey to be sent without the frame.
I take extra care in the packing of all my items, which are sent VERY securely packed, ensuring a safe journey. No extra charge is levied for this service.
