John Major Surrey Cricket Prime Minister Vintage 1973 Autograph Hand Signed FDC

STB040 A superb opportunity to secure this collectors hand signed first day cover of John Major from the 1973 "100 Years Of English County Cricket"anniversary FDC for Surrey Club personally autographed by John Major from over 50 years ago where he has placed his signature perfectly besides the official 1973 commemorative franks for its first day of issue and bar recipients address on front in mint condition.

By 1973 John Major had established himself as a well-known, highly active member of Surrey County Cricket Club at The Oval. He used his growing network as a London borough councillor to actively support the club’s development and local community cricket initiatives, laying the groundwork for his eventual appointment to the Surrey CCC General Committee. As an avid cricket historian, Major was deeply enthusiastic about the Post Office releasing the 1973 County Cricket Centenary stamps. Because of his twin profiles as a rising political star and a noted cricket connoisseur, he was invited by specialized memorabilia publishers to hand-sign a limited edition run of these exact 1973 covers to celebrate the centenary.
