Delhi Commonwealth Games

who is following the games and all the stamps that came out with it from all over the world

Hello Spock
I'm not following the games but I hear of canadians (québécois) winning medals listening to the radio while him on SCF. I used to collect Olympic stamps. I had a huge collection. I restrict myself to the Olympics, but I occasionally saw Commonwealth games stamps that I like too. I stop collecting olympic because there was too many every 4 years and also because I become more attracted by my Europa collection. I sold my Olympic collection with no regrets. I know it must be a big thing for India to have the games and i'm sure you're proud of it. Maybe are you going those stamps? There should be a Canada stamp for those games. Have to verify. Daniel

Well I have always liked to collect sports stuff not just stamps but I restrict myself to the US and India and occasionally other countries. We are about to lose our number 2 position int he games to england and I am not happy about that but its still an achievement considering we were no good a couple of decades ago.

Found something about stamps issued for Commonwealth Games. There is not many compare to the Olympics.

With India there is only Guernsey and Gibraltar issuing stamps for Delhi 2010!

I have followed the games with great enjoyment,
I have no interest whatsoever in the medal count,
but love the individual side of competition,
the lass from Cayman islands winning their first ever gold,
the Indian girls 4 x 400m relay, the archery, and the lass from
Cyprus that just missed gold in the polevault, were the standouts,
along with the Indian mens hockey.

I think the Indians should be justly proud of presenting us
with a marvelous colourful games, all reports back here
are of the friendliness of the Indian people, and Aussies
appear to be having a great time.
I'll probably meet up with the stamps in 4-5 years time in kilo lots.

you wish Rod. no kilo lots the athletes have caused a sell out of the stamps they wanted souvenirs from 2 post offices opened specially for the games. dont forget that the stamps are the first ones with the rupee symbol.

i was happy with the hockey match though I dont think there is even a 1 percent chance against the oz. but then just look what happened in cricket last week and anything can happen there again tomorrow where we are again about to lose minus vvs laxman

ok we finished second hooray :)

I reckon you took the gold medal for a marvelous Games,
Well done India all round.
It was a marvelous exhibition from start to finish,
and hopefully a poke in the eye for the naysayers
who pick fault with everything.
Bravo India.

why thank you dear Rod. Beautiful and kind words :)
