….is the theme for today’s Sunday Stamps
Bolev Plovdiva is Bulgarian professional football club based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. It competes in the Bulgarian Parva Liga, the top flight of Bulgarian football. Founded on 11 March 1912, it is the country’s oldest active football club.
Swedish and Chinese Posts launched a joint issue having a table tennis theme. Jan-OveWaldner, Swede table tennis player,is well-known in both countries and is a natural part of this stamp project.
Six-times world table tennis champion and 1992 Olympic gold medalist Jan-OveWaldner has become the first living foreigner to appear on a Chinese postage stamp.
Postcards Etc 
I love the old sporting and Olympic posters from 1920/30s. Strangely I recently read an article about the politics of the 1934 world cup where that poster was used as an illustration although it was in full colour, I think I prefer the stamps monochrome version.

The Jan Ove Waldner stamp is priceless. And the legend, Eddie Merckx! That is a great stamp. The swimming has been my favourite to watch this time around.

I love the stamps which give such a movement sensation.
In Sapin, living people cannot appear on stamps (except for the Royal family), so I am surprised by the Chinese stamp dedicated to Jan-OveWaldner. Not only a living person, but a foreign one!

Those are all nice. I like the Chinese table tennis ones since the two look like they’re playing a game.
