A beautiful new commemorative stamp featuring a stylised scene of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters in play on the famous clay courts of the Monte-Carlo Country Club has been released by Monaco’s Office des Timbres. Here’s everything fans of the tournament and avid philatelists need to know about the limited edition run.
Designed by Eric Garence, the 2024 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters commemorative stamp is a stunning tribute to the 117th edition of the annual tournament.
The Masters, which is running from 6th to 14th April, marks the start of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) World Masters 1000 season and is also the first major European men’s tennis event of the year.
The value of the limited edition stamp is €1.96, and it can be purchased as a mint or cancelled stamp. For €0.60 more, collectors can order a stamped edition.
The single stamps are sold in sheets of 10, and there are only 40,000 individual stamps in total that will be issued.
There is also a limited edition Tennis Folder for sale. This collector’s item includes a spread of 19 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters stamps from over the years, all housed in a lovely red velvet folding case. The cost of this is €38.
