Video

Great vid as always Graham, taught me a thing or two, thanks !

Nice vid

This has had extraordinarily good commentary about stamps and collecting always. It's the best philatelic channel of them all and without the fustiness stamps often involve but liveliness and color instead. What a great run this has been. I hope you can do another series of these stamp talks. You give a new lively and youthful image to a hobby that often gets tagged with being for elderly people. I've enjoyed every one of the episodes you've done. Now I'll go back and rewatch them.

The amount of research you do continues to amaze me! I am working my way through all of your content and loving it all 😁

I have some tickets

Ones out of a blue moon someone will post their entire inherited collection on Facebook marketplace for $20-50 ones was able to get a rare blue 5 cent in excellent condition that I was later was able to sell for 5k.

Nais

Fascinating 🧐! I love the Brazilian bullseye 🎯 stamps! I always thought Brazil was kinda primitive. Since they were the second country to issue postage stamps I’m wrong as can be. Thank You Graham you are absolutely priceless!

Are you doing some Videos again? 😎. I have the black stamp as well, but not such a fancy cover or the red one. Nice early stamps (both).

Sometimes I watch one of your wonderful videos and think "oh, I want that stamp!" And sometimes I watch a video and get the pleasure of learning about a stamp I already own 😁 in this case, I actually just recently bought one of these first issue Latvian stamps, on a whim. It was cheap and pretty and I didn't have any stamps from Latvia. I had no idea there was a map on the back because I hadn't done anything with it yet besides acknowledge that it came. I'm so excited to do a little write up about this stamp for my collection now 😁😁😁

I got some sealing wax from jetpens and I'm learning about the cancelling process bc they have a little disclaimer that tells you to hand cancel wax sealed envelopes if possible due to the cancelling machines chewing up the wax seals! I didn't know that postage collectors had such an intriguing community (before today, I was mostly interested in calligraphy instruments, but maybe this video will get me into postage!)

These are the kind of stamps that turn me off to stamp collecting.

Gimmicky but in a cool way! 👍

Loved this one. I added several pages to my album just by moving and labeling stuff I already had. My favorite post marks are the ones that clearly show the origin of a letter or package that someone sent to me. :-)

I had my doubts at first, but halfway through the clip, I was convinced 😂 SA youtubers for the win 🎉

Stamp collection in 2024 Is crazy. But I support your hobby.

Thank you so much for this episode! Lots of interesting info, but also you answered a question I was struggling to figure out with my own online searches. I recently acquired a gallon sized bag full of stamps and now have a growing collection of pre-cancels! I've been keeping them together b/c I think they are interesting but had no idea why they were like that. And I've been searching different ways of describing them but with "overprint" as my main keyword. I hadn't thought of "pre-cancels", lol! I appreciate all the research you do and the enjoyable format you present it in 😁

Cool stamps, I remember these stamps were featured in one of your episodes :-)

This is the saddest hobby for a grown man

You have the best videos on stamps. I am now binge watching your videos. You are so informative and knowledgeable. One video taught me more than 6 months of researching has. Thank you.

👋 Really cool!!

Definitely cool! Thanks for sharing!!

Amazing series!! There is also Blok to these stamps!!!

I would love to see the manufacturing process on something like this.

I really enjoy these Exploring Stamps series. I'm just getting into collecting stamps and I'm learning a lot from your channel. Thank you.

🎉❤

Those are so awesome

This rules.

Hi Graham, thanks for bringing attention to these cool stamps. Henry’s the greatest Superman😊

Not my area of collection but I appreciate them 😊

I had an album full of beautiful, expensive, pre WWII French stamps. I was living in La Jolla which is a coastal town in California. The humidity of living near the ocean resulted in my beautiful French stamps stuck to the album. I was speechless when one day I opened the album and seeing my 1927 STRASBOURG EXHIBITION SHEET stuck to the album and then further investigation found out many more mint stamps ended up the same.

Great history! Miss you Graham!

How fun! I paused the video to write Jessica a postcard and now I'm back to finish watching 😁

Hello! I am new to your channel but have been binge watching! Will you be accepting mail in the future? I have some old Atlantic City postcards that you may like for your collection!

Hello What can be the price of World penny black on Cover dt 30/06/1840, Cancelled with Red Maltese cross 🙏

Ride the wave of $ANDY memes on ETH network-making history one laugh at a time! 😀 $ANDY @andycoinonerc

How did you get that

I always like the $5 bust of liberty on US capital building.

Hello, I have a rare stamp, who will buy the collection??

Wonderful stamp! Oh, just read the Z grill went for 4.4 million! Great for the hobby.

I have a few. Not sure how many.

Glad to see this one, Is this one of your videos that you said you would post later ?

Hello Discovered recent your amazing stamp channel, by my "new" (after over 40 years deepest sleep...) interest in stamps. Really it is (was...) the best stamp channel - because you invest so much work, you know to entertain in a good intelligent way, really know about good video editing (very seldom by other collectors to be honest) , "love" to the hobby and history, not afraid about travel cost and stress and research - and most important: take you watchers and subscribers seriously. Too bad, you canceled the channel, but fully understandable for everyone who know how much work a good video is to produce. Even if your channel is (was...) the one and only big quality channel in our hobby - 35000 subscribers are for a youtubechannel in general quite less, special for the quality of your videos. To bad that an unedited, cheap smartphone video of "your" cat , "your cute" child, "dump" car drivers (always the other never youself...) or mumble about politicians get easy much more like, views and subscribers... low demand => lot of viewers quality, thinking along is necessary, interacting, a bit more challenging topics => few, but faithful viewers - sadly the system "CZcams" with the like and views "thinking" don't work that way... Nevertheless: Hope one time in future to see your (new) nice videos again - perhaps another topic in history, collecting, video producing, "normal" traveling,...(not this style nobody with a day job, bills,a house, and family never can do and pay, but also not "Hawaii" and Florida or for my part of the world Mallorca, Rome, London, Canaries island,...with Millions of other tourists and only beach, "the Eifel tower", London Bridge,.. and eating) And perhaps - again stamps - if you are in the mood to do so it has not to be frequent, only if you really want

Indeed a really beautiful stamp!

All counterfeit probably. They had no trains in 1913

My grandmother left me a book of stamps, some used some not. Where could i find information about old stamps? Any maybe what they're worth.

Really beautiful stamps!!!!

I have many of these stamps and I had headaches looking at them. I didn't know how to identify which printing a stamp is.

There nice. I have some Chinese food ration tickets

I’m lucky enough to have an unused black jack that I just got from a collection of a former stamp collector, Chuck, who is in his 90s.
