County Cricket Centenary – A Landmark Postal Issue

Issued to commemorate the 1873–1973 centenary, these covers were produced across multiple counties and clubs, each with its own artwork and cancellation. The stamps depict classic cricketing poses and remain popular with collectors for their nostalgic style and strong thematic appeal.

Complete sets are increasingly sought after, especially when they include both Lord’s Ground exhibition cancellations and county first‑day postmarks.
