Cricket philately has
become very popular in the last fifteen years. The first official cricket stamp was issued
on 18 January 1962 by the Portuguese colony of Cape Verde quickly followed by Pakistan on
24 August 1962. Postmarks, covers and poster stamps are much, much older.
Australian Sports Stamps is a specialist in cricket philately.
Consequently, our normal productions are different and not run of the mill stuff.
Please take the time to look at all the cricket items, many of which are numbered and
printed in editions of less than one hundred. We will be delighted to provide you
with further information on our products including the Bradman collection. Whilst we
concentrate on offering you our own cricket philatelic items, the first of which was made
in 1981, we will happily track down any cricket item you require to complete your
collection.

Philatelic Society. The Society is based in England and was founded six years ago by Derek
