Hi Charnie, wonderful gift from Joe. Such interesting covers, stamps, miniature sheets and postcards. The shaped miniature sheets are from a series of UNESCO World Heritage stamps and the shape of the sheet reflects the UBESCO logo. I think that you will find that the 'white tiger' on one of the sheets is actually a snow leopard (Panthera unica). The people on the last part of the Mahatma Gandhi miniature sheet are (in a clockwise direction): Gandhi (with his back to us), Ho Chi Minh (a Vietnamese leader and freedom fighter), Martin Luther King Junior, Albert Einstein and, of course, Nelson Mandela. Another great video, Charnie. The link to JC Philately didn't work on my laptop - it gave the message that the page was unavailable - but when I searched for JC Philately in the search window, I found the page easily.
Hi Steve!!!! It is always a highlight to see your comment, and I always learn something from it! Thanks so much! I wish I knew these things beforehand to share also with all the viewers. I am going to pin your comment at the top. Thanks for Ho Chi Minh's name and all the other info. The link to JCPhilately indeed didn't work!!!! Thanks for telling me! Strange. I replaced it with a working link. Really thanks! ... and, it is a leopard and not a tiger!!!!! Wow, you have knowledgeable and sharp eyes! Wish I could add the correct info to the video! Maybe as a card. I will investigate.
Hi Benny, thanks so, so much for watching and commenting! The Covid stamps really mark an era in our history, and my husband told me that India is very good in especially men's hockey. I am sorry I didn't show the hocky WC souvenir sheet properly.
Hello Alexander! Welcome as always to my channel and thank you for watching and commenting! I also liked the stamps and covers very much. So exotic and colourful. Kind wishes to you! 🙂
Wow wow as you said Charnie, a very nice gift. Interesting that its the most populated country of the world and I do not have seen so many stamps of India yet. The different cancellations makes me curious, why and how people do this. Do you know? And i love the stamp with the guave, my favourite fruit which is almost impossible to buy here! Great video again, with such a nice colours in it!
Hallo Camiel, it was a wonderful gift! About the different cancelations on the FDCs (I think this is what you are talking about), Joe wrote this to me: "The Tiger Forum's first-day cover, I had taken an additional cancellation from our Philatelic Bureau on the 1st of April 2023 as India completed its 50 years of Project Tiger Census. " and "The other FDC with the 3 consecutive days was released during the AMRITPEX National Stamp Exhibition, New Delhi." I really like guavas as well! Especially their sumptuous smell. In South Africa they are readily available. There the trees are additionally regarded as an invasive alien weed. I have not seen any guavas in New Zealand yet. Thank you so, so much for watching and commenting!
Hi Ketzer1964, I agree with you. The stamp with the eye for the Ophthalmology Congress really is very special. I will soon make the video(s) to show the stamps. I will surely show that one specifically. The Covid fighter warriors set also is iconic about an iconic time. I hope you could see it properly! Thank you very, very much for watching and commenting!!!!
Hi S2G!!! Thanks so much for coming here and supporting me! The gifts I am getting is truly beyond what one can expect. It is so wonderful and I feel so privileged! Thank you for watching and commenting!!! Happy stacking! (I see that is what the numismatists call collecting.) 🙂
Hey Charnie, a really nice package of stamps & cards from Joe! Very generous of him! Look forward to seeing the rest of the loose stamps! Thanks for sharing, take care
Hello Schuey, good to see you! 🙂Joe is really generous. The gift was a big surprise. The rest of the stamps are a bit daunting. I want to read up a little bit beforehand so that I don't go in blindly and blandly. Take care as well!
Hi Charnie. Amazing gift from Joe. Wonderful stamps and miniature sheets. Excellent video. My thanks appreciate and respect. By the way You have nice voice.
Hi Sergey! I really appreciate the gift from Joe so much. Thank you for your kind remark about the video and my voice! That is so uplifting for me. I rather wish my voice was deeper and more relaxed. But then one is never thankful for one's own characteristics, which is not good. Thank you so, so much as always for watching and commenting!!!!!!!
Hello Jerry! I also find the Indian stamps and other items colourful and vibrant, and even a bit exotic. Their culture is the same. Thanks for watching and commenting!! Take care!
Very nice India issues! I do love a nice post mark or cancellation. Here in the United States our postal system uses “sprayed on cancellation “ of which I can’t stand. Can’t even soak our stamps either! Great video!
Hi Adam, thanks for watching and commenting so positively! I also love post marks and cancellations and the postal history carried by them. Unfortunately also in New Zealand the postal system went "backwards" and stamps are largely not cancelled anymore, and if cancelled, it only has minimum information (only a date). I even tried to address it by writing to them and arguing about it - to no avail! In New Zealand all postmen/women are going to be let go soon!!! Apparently mail is just not making enough money anymore. Sad state of affairs!
Hi Jeff, thank you so much as always for your time watching and commenting! I also liked the fashion sheet and tiger stamps very much! Especially the tiger stamp won my heart because it pictures an animal. 🙂
@@basilsylvesterpinto10 Hi Basil, thanks for your comment! That is interesting - that the lion was at some stage your national animal. I think the tiger is a much better choice for India. I immediately saw that one UNESCO heritage site building is from Goa, thanks to you. 🙂
Dear Charnie!! That was amazing!! Never really saw any indian stams somethere! So it was really interesting! I loved everything that has tiger stamps on it!!! Of course!!! I would love to send you something your way also! Is this possible!! In the description of every our video you can find our e-mail adress. Please send us you shipping adress. And I will send some great stuff to you! I hope you will accept!!! Best regards!!
Dear Nikolai and Roman! Indian stamps are so colourful and it frequently seems very exotic to me. Indian culture are so different from what I am familiar with. I enjoy seeing there stamps so much, and you are right, Indian stamps are not generally present in the places where I buy stamps. The tiger and other animal stamps of India is also my favourite. ... You are wonderfully kind about wanting to send me something! It makes me feel very overwhelmed. I will write to you. Very, very best regards to you!!! You are very special!!!

On top right at the corner. This stamp catched really my eyes. 29 min. The Ophtamology Congress and a course the Covid fighter set.

Goodness mercy! Had no idea about New Zealand. Looks like our hobby is going out. They just don’t care about the collectors anymore.
@@adamhuffman3354 I agree!😒
Hi Charnie -those I Dian stamps are amazing !! I really love the fashion stamps and also the tiger stamps !!!
the fashion minisheet is one of four in a series issued between 2018 and 2020. Tiger is our national animal, and at a point of time, the lion was.
