Anatoly Karpov is or was reputed to be a philatelist.

I like this site for chess stamps.

http://www.queensac.com/positions.html

There are a lot forgeries depicting famous chess players on stamps.
This site has most of them listed. I'm sure I saw chess stamps for the
Karpov - Fischer match that never was once on the net.

Thanks for your help guys

I remember reading a book review on chesscafe a while back. The book was called "a history of jewish chess players on stamps", or something like that.

The conclusion of the review was that the book would be particularly interesting to philatelists, especially those interested in jewish chess players!

Thanks for that mate check it out on Amazon looks interesting but a bit expensive at 41.33

Niger issued 2 beautiful sheets. They are my favorite chess stamps. The ex-USSR also issued quite a few.

This one is a good one:
