A special Commonwealth Games conference is taking place in Delhi at the end of March. It will be attended by delegates representing the elite of world sport. To mark the occasion the conference organisers commissioned a customised stamp sheet from Royal Mail.

Although these are exclusive to India we have been able to secure a few for our UK collectors.

The images used are from the personal collection of the games Vice Chair and former Olympian Randhir Singh. A very special sheet indeed.

We expect to receive these for despatch towards the end of April.

This is also the first time that India has hosted the games. So when they take place in Delhi during October 2010 these will be even more collectable.

A truly unique stamp sheet celebrating England's 2009 Ashes during the Andrew Strauss Benefit Year.

For the first time ever the work of the world's top cricket photographer, Patrick Eagar is featured on a sheet of stamps.

And to make it even more special it is combined with an original painting by top cricket artist Christina Pierce.

Only 500 will be issued to make it a very rare as well as unique piece of cricket memorabilia.

The sheet can be viewed in the Customised Stamp Sheet section. Also view the Official Cricket Cover section for other pieces of cricket art and history.

This is a must have "stocking filler" for any cricket fan this Christmas. Put together with the cover and stamp issues it will be a gift they will treasure for ever.

The yearbook contains photos and original paintings depicting cricket from top international level to the village green.

The cricket world has heaped praise upon praise for this collection of Christina's work. We are delighted to be working with her on the Andrew Strauss project and many others for the 2010 season.

We urge our regular cricket collectors not to miss this one.

To round off the England captain's benefit year we are issuing two stamp sheets and a cover. Andrew Strauss supports a number of worthy charities and these are featured on the cover.

There will be a smiler sheet, customised business sheet and a commemorative cover. All to be released on 30th November(St Andrew's Day).

Renowned cricket artist, Christina Pierce has produced 3 very special paintings for the stamps and cover. Top cricket photographer, Patrick Eager has taken the photographs. Together this makes a very special and unique combination indeed.

With the 2009 "Ashes" win part of the celebratory package these are not to be missed. Especially with the amount of publicity that will surround the issue.

Early ordering is essential.
