This card was part of a large collection made by New Plymouth boy Andrew Moffat in 1991. Andrew was in Third Form at New Plymouth Boys' High School and playing prop in the school's D1 Black rugby team. He remembers lots of his mates were very keen on collecting these cards. They were purchased in packets, along with chewing gum which was seldom eaten, and they were quite cheap to buy. Andrew spent many hours sorting and organising the cards which he also used to swap with his mates. It even got to the point where they could quote biography details from the back of the cards of relatively obscure provincial players who they could never remember seeing play. While Andrew collected hundreds of cards, the manufacturer included a large number of duplicates and he never managed to collect the whole set. Unsurprisingly, the cards of the Taranaki players were his favourites. Andy Slater was a stalwart of Taranaki Rugby team during the 1990s, playing 182 games for the province and captaining them for his final six seasons, before retiring from representative rugby in June 2002.
