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.

Our apologies to all of you who have been waiting so patiently for this sheet. Everything is ready to go once we receive them from Royal Mail. Unfortunately there was a series of minor delays leading to an unusually extended lead time.

We now expect to start despatches from the end of November (2009 of course!). So thank you again for your patience, we know it will be worth the wait.

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.

With Christmas soon after our covers will be very popular gifts. So now is a good time to buy remaining stock. It could all disappear by December!

In association with Stamp and Coin Mart we have released "Going to the Cricket". A superb and detailed guide to collecting cricket stamps and covers.

It is packed full of facts and stories that will delight cricket fans and collectors.
