When and how did you start collecting Groggs?
I started collecting in 2011 after
seeing a friend’s collection and being very impressed.
What were the first 3 Groggs you owned?
Lions Jamie Roberts
Wales Ryan Jones
Lions Mike Phillips
Do you still own these Groggs?
No, these Groggs have been sold now
to make way for new Groggs. Some have been replaced with later or rarer
versions of the players.
What Groggs do you collect now?
I previously used to get all of the
Groggs which were released in the Welsh kits, however I have now sold the
majority of my Welsh Groggs as I like to focus my collection around British
Lions, Barbarians, Club Kits and Special Editions. I mainly collect the rugby
Groggs but have a few footballers and non sporting Groggs.
How many Groggs do you currently own?
I own around 50 Groggs mostly 9”
What is your favourite Grogg?
I recently purchased a unique
Gethin Jenkins Grogg in a charity auction. This is probably my favourite Grogg
due to the level of detail. It is painted in a fully branded Wales kit with all
of the badges and intricate detail. It’s also number 1/1 so I am the only one
who will ever own one. Gethin is also one of my favourite players so makes the
Grogg even more special.
Are there any Groggs you regret selling?
I previously owned a special
edition of New Zealand’s captain Richie McCaw called “Centurion McCaw”. I sold
this to make way for other Groggs but is definitely one I would like to have
back given the chance as it is a brilliant Grogg.
Who would you love to see Grogged?
I would love to see a Grogg made of
Richard Hughes. The shop is celebrating 50 years in business in 2015 and what
better way to celebrate than to have a Grogg made of the man who produces all
of the fantastic Groggs these days.
Now for some photos of your Groggs:
