Summary

The theme of the Sanitarium Weetbix Cards for 2017 entitled Dare to Dream was about striving to make dreams of becoming an All Black a reality. At only 15 cards in the full set, this issue of the Weet-Bix cards that are released annually, was on the small side. Nethertheless the cards were popular with collectors and can now only be obtained on secondhand marketplaces like Facebook and Trademe.
