On the front of each card is an action photo of the player with gold star ratings in recognition of being chosen to play for South Africa.
On the back are the player's stats - how tall he is, how much he weighs, what school he went to, when and where he was born and how many times he has played for his Province and his Country - everyday people, who through motivation, hard work, opportunity and a measure of talent, have excelled in their chosen field. There is also an album that can be obtained to keep your treasure safe.
It was sparked by the two of us chatting about how rampant school crazes get, ‘The kids don't seem to be able to get enough.’ (A seed was planted.)
A month later... the kids eagerly poring over and excitedly trading sport player cards... able to name numerous foreign players and clubs... the collectables virus had taken hold. ‘We all need heroes to look up to’, we agreed.
But, something didn't feel right, ’Where are our local heroes?’, (What if...?)
As a Marketing Strategist and a Sport Specialist, we put together an exciting plan to make South African heroes accessible. To bring our idea and plans to life, BIG-BALL Rugby Trading Cards were born!
The exciting BIG-BALL Collections are the only that celebrate South African sporting personalities. The BIG-BALL 2010 Collection of over 220 Rugby trading cards features rugby players from 5 of South Africa's top provincial Rugby Unions - Blue Bulls, Cheetahs, Golden Lions, Sharks and WP Rugby.
Our ambition? To use the Collectables Virus to:
-
make excellence a part of everyday life
-
make South Africa's Heroes easily accessible
-
provide role models that are meaningful
-
give Dads something they know about to share with their kids
-
let kids have 'Good Clean Fun' while they learn
Rugby. Love it, Live it.
