In our 12th episode we talk about what type of collection you want and the options available. We discuss mounted mint, mint never hinged, traffic light blocks, used, CTO (cancelled to order), FDC (First Day Covers) and even crash covers.

Very informative. Thank you!
Calendar collections often cover all the dates of cancellation for a single stamp or for a period. For instance the dates of cancellation for Edward VII or Edward VIII reign.
Absolutely. Blocks of 4 are awesome. Blocks with margins, imprint or with sheet numbers. I especially like seeing - Waterlow & Sons Limited, London wall, London, E.C. - it's wonderful eye candy.
Nice description.. myself lucky as a Zeppelin envelope is in my humble collection 😉
greetings from Krasnoyarsk , the capital of Siberia , I am also fond of philately . I really liked the review of postage stamps
Great episode. Thank you for the images. Video of you guys would be great.
Thanks, we're working on it. Watch out for this week's video.
So many things I did not know. Thanks for this podcast.
I save all of your podcasts. By far, you are the most interesting , entertaining and informative of philataley. Jolly good examples shown in full color (colour, for all you Brits out there). I went so f ar as to subscribe and press all notiforcations. You and your mate, we must give her credit, after all she asks all the questions that keeps it interesting, present a solid presentation every time. Good speed
Thanks for your comments. Sheila (my wife) doesn't take part in my podcasts now as she is busy doing her own. I hope I am still keeping it interesting.
When your mate asked about purchasing sheets, It brought me back to when I was 10 years old and going to my local post office with a couple of quid in my pocket, from my weekly allowence and asking the post clerk to sell me a 1c green Andrew Jackson plate block of 4, Scott #1209. This was a regular issue from 1963, but still current here in the states in 1967. I aked if he had the top left corner, he pulled out the whole sheet of 100. I started to sweat and my heart was pumping. I never seen a whole sheet before. I said, wait! I want the whole sheet. He said, "That will be one doller please." I smiled and gave him one dollar and .25 cents for the sheet and two pieces of cardboard. When I returned home, I realized that it wouldn't fit in my stockbook. My father placed it in a photo frame and it hung on my bedroom wall for many years.
Great story. There is something about a sheet of stamps but they are so difficult to store and display.
well I'm not fond of blocks but I do have a first flight of Japan airlines mail to San Francicsco in the 1950's
nice
