Cool display

Right - so, me grandfather passed away last year, and we're currently clearing out his house.
He played a couple of seasons for Taranaki, back in the day.
Along with some team photos - one thing we came across - was a menu card for a "Complimentary Dinner - South Africa v Taranaki, 1956"
...with quite a few signatures on it
On the inside - 9 signatures, including my grandfathers - presumably Taranaki players.
On the back, however - 20 signatures, with some very South-African sounding names.So... anybody know whether this would be of interest to anybody? Should we be looking to sell it? Donate it?
(the game was a draw by the way - 3-3... and my grandfather's biggest regret was that he was in the reserves, in the days when they were truly reserves, and never made it onto the field to tackle a Springbok)

@Kruse If you are going to donate it maybe the TRFU might be interested. The same would apply to the NZ Rugby Museum. But if it isn't something they would display a private rugby memorabilia collector would be the best option to get some money.

That is so cool. To be a big enough fanatic to build such an extensive collection and then your son is not just an international but a great player. Mr Coles boyhood dreams must have been exceeded.

I've been meaning to post this for a while now, I inherited this signed Hurricanes jersey from my old man's work when I was young. It had been gifted to them, and I got it when they were clearing out the office during a move. It's been in my closet for the last 20+ years. I'm planning on getting it framed and put on the wall at some point.
Google indicates to me it's from the 2000 Hurricanes team. Some signatures from Hurricanes (and AB) greats on there, but not easy to determine exactly who they all are - anyone want to have a stab at that?

That is epic.
Jonah's is the one underneath the team logo and just to the right hand side a bit.
