    Hi,

    I found your blog today and like it very much. I am also a stamp collector and am trying to increase my knowledge by visiting various sites on stamp collection.

    I am curious to know whether this Sachin Tendulkar Stamp is the first ever stamp issued by India Post for a living person or they have released such stamps in past too?

    Can anyone answer this query?
