Wow Graham your tolerance, patience and engaging manner with everyone you meet, is shaming the rest of us.
Your an ambassador for stamps and being nice.
It was wonderful to meet you in person, Graham, and thanks for including me and my underwater find! Hope to see you back in California at Westpex!
It was great meeting you as well, Nyle. Thank you for being a part of this episode 😊
I have a nice marine life international collection and watercraft collection as well-
Also got birds , but my main focus is on international postage 1850s- 1970s
Yes!!! Another episode! Always such a pleasure.
Thank you Captain 😊
Wow, did this channel really start in 2016? Congratulations on your award, it's very well deserved!! :)
It did! Right at the end of 2016. Thank you so much 😊
Congratulations Graham on your incredible videos “Exploring Stamps” and the work you have done to promote Philately, mate from all stamp collectors, thank you so much. I can see how you have grown in confidence since that first video in December 2016 brilliant stuff. What I love about your work is how you encourage and interact with your audience from the very young to the experts in field of Philately.
When someone named Beck walks into Sotheby’s auction house London, and the curator takes out the British Guiana 1c Magenta out of the security case and hands to them to hold, then one could confidentially say you are a valued member of the Philatelic world and well respected.
Graham, I have been following you for about six months now and today I subscribed you your channel. I especially loved the 2019 episode on, “WW2 Operation Cornflakes” as I am a collector of WW2 and WW1 Stamps specializing in propaganda stamps and espionage related operations.
Your videos are always upbeat, entertaining, and especially love your discussions with other philatelists’ / colleagues. Mate brilliant work keep it up and congrats.

Totally enjoyed this virtual tour of GASS Sacramento. So sorry I couldn't attend live. The segment with Jennifer Miller was relatable as I have a sideline collection of sheep stamps. And Chip Gliedman's exhibit is soooooooo cool! Don't beat yourself up on overpaying postage. It's what we stamp lovers do. Congrats on the Kehr Award. Cheers!
This channel means a lot to me. Keeps my passion alive. Tks for your work Graham
😊 Thank you Gustavo, so glad to see that you are enjoying the channel. Thank you for being a part of the online philatelic community.
This is one of my new favourite channels that I have found recently. I love the quality of the productions and have learned so much from every video. I get jealous seeing the things he has in his collection.
@@hypnotised-clover so you will be very sad now because he is ended his channel 😭
@@Galo1908mg You just made that up.
Thanks for stitching this together for us Graham. For those who don't have IG and prefer longish vids this format works 👍 Many congratulations on your award. If your down in India give me a shoutout would love to connect in person. You're a blessing to philately, may the stamp Gods always shine on you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much. I hope to visit India in the near future, a philatelic visit would be wonderful. Thanks so much for watching.
I knew that since I couldn't be there, I could count on you to post a great report. Thank you!
😆 Thanks James, glad to provide a report for you. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations on the award Graham!!
Thank you Marty 😊
You are gathering all persons together and I’m really enjoying when you share updates of stamps shows.
Thanks again Graham. Always nice to get that message that there is a new Exploring Stamps video! Congrats with the well deserved award!!
😊. Thank you Kees!
Speaking as a video engineer as well as a philatelist, I have to comment on how this channel sets the gold standard for the quality of the productions. You clearly are familiar with the word "focus". I can't tell you how many videos I've seen with out of focus stamps. I am particularly impressed at how CLEAN the audio is in this video. Every time I hear an off mike echo on broadcast television, I think "Seriously? You couldn't mic your talent?" It's like fingers on a chalkboard.
If I may ask, what software do you use for your video and audio editing?
Wow, thank you William. I'll be honest, sound is one of my greatest challenges, and I'm never too happy with it. It means a lot that you appreciate the production quality, thank you :). For all my video editing (including sound), I use 'Final Cut Pro', software available through Apple.
Loved seeing the show live through your Instagram stories! This is a brilliant way to recap the show. Thank you for sharing it with us!!
Thanks for deciding to put it up on the tube Graham. As a total noobie to all this I'm surprised that theres so much going on at a stamp show, and pleased to see it. I don't want to ask a stupid question but if anyone can answer this for me I'd appreciate it. I just bought some clear stamp holding pages for a ring binder, just to store the few items I have until I can decide on a decent stamp collection system. But these open on the back which makes inserting stamps extremely difficult. And it get's worse as you move down the rows. I thougth I was going crazy but there's no doubt. The flap that opens to insert the stamps is on the rear of the holder. Surely this can't be right?
Thank you Peter. Glad you enjoyed the episode. Do you have a link to the pages that you bought? I am also curious to see what they look like.... If they are pages with clear mounts, then that makes sense...but if they are like stock pages, then I wouldn't be familiar with these.
Really great how you combined your Instagram posting into one very watchable CZcams video. I didn't get to the show but feel like I got to experience it vicariously. Thanks for putting this up.
CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS on your award! I have really enjoyed your channel this past year as I’ve gotten back into my stamp collecting that I’ve done on and off since I was 10. I’ve never been to a stamp show and hoping this year I can attend the Southeastern Stamp Expo in Atlanta in January 2023 just 3 hours from home. Thank you for your highlights of this fantastic looking show you attended! Incredible! Also, as I’ve gotten more mail from philatelists with lots of stamps on the envelopes, I think my post office gave up the red sharpie marker, as a lot are left uncancelled and I didn’t even have to talk to them! So thankful! Now, I’m going to try to remove my post-2008 stamps with Bestine like you suggested, so wish me luck! Also, I read the Lost Countries book and absolutely loved it! Also read History of Britain and America in Stamps by West and they were good,too! I’ve learned so very much from you this last year! Thank you!
Hi Graham, loved seeing all that went on at the Great American Stamp show - oh how I wish I could have been there myself to experience it, but I had to work and couldn’t get the time off. Congrats on winning the Kehr award and as always, thanks for what you do sir.
To have the time to sit and sift through the dealer stock of stamps for sale must be a real pleasure. Hope to attend one when the world is less crazy. Thanks as always for posting.
Oh it is, I actually love the dollar boxes, you can sit there for hours just looking through covers and postcards. Thanks Buzza Wuzza 😊
Looks like a fun time, Graham! Sorry I missed it. I had a schedule conflict with the West Coast Shell Show in San Diego. I won 2 First Place medals and 2 trophies for each of my 2 exhibits! So thank you for sharing the stamp show!
Oh wow, congratulations on your exhibits, Scott! Thats quite a win. So sorry that you missed the event, but maybe I can meet you at the next one. Thanks for watching 😊
I really enjoyed the tour, thanks.
You are welcome, thank you for watching ,John.
Thanks for sharing the event and congrats on your award!
Congratulations on your award 🎉🎉
You deserve it 👏👏👏👏
Thank you Vasant 😊
I love $1 booths. I think I can easily spend $100 there :)
Easily!! Hours and dollars can disappear at the dollar booth 😂
@@ExploringStamps Yes! But I can bring back 100 items :)
Stamps are like potato chips, you can't stop at just one! 😆
Thank you Sir.
You are most welcome :)
THANK YOU.
Beautiful sharing 👍
Thank you 😊
Very interesting american show stamps
Blessings
Man i wish i would have known this was going on 90 mins away from my home :(
I havent been to a show since my father was still alive and he took me to ameripex ‘86 in chicago where i grew up
Oh you were so close! Definitely keep a look out for future shows, maybe consider taking a trip to Westpex one year.
Congrats on your award! Well deserved. It's fun to see how far you have come and we all owe you a huge thank you for making this hobby so fun and interesting! You add a certain zest to the life of the hobby! It always makes my day to see a new video from you pop up on my phone. I admit you got me back into the hobby full force and I proudly can say i have been watching since the first video you posted. To many more great years ahead on Exploring Stamps and a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart! Great job and happy collecting!!!!
Thank you 😊. Those are some very kind words. It means a lot to me knowing that viewers enjoy the channel and have re-energized their interest with the hobby. Thank you so much for your viewership and support.. 🙏
Great video, I attended this show along with the meetup and it's interesting to see this thru a different eye. Well done Graham!
Thank you Amy. Glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope you had a good time at the show as well 😊
Awesome as always. Thanks.
Still so sad I missed this show (especially with it so close to me), but I'm glad to see that we at least got some perspectives from it. Hope to see you sometime in the future and you're always welcome back to California
Thank you 😊. I enjoyed my brief time in Cali, but I look forward to going back soon...maybe Westpex one year 🤔. Thanks so much for watching.
Congratulations on your reward! It is well deserved. I am so bummed I did not go to the show, but had I known you would be there I would have made the trip from Southern California. You even caught my friends on tape at 5:05, A to Z stamps out of Arizona, wonderful dealers.
Thanks for taking us with you to the show, Graham, looks like a fun time! Upon seeing them, I also thought Pony cars were muscle cars but I guess not. Then I wondered why is it called "pony"? ... Google says it's because 'A mustang is a horse/has a horse in the logo, and the pony car class became defined by the Mustang, its namesake model." The more we know. Thanks for the video!
Well that makes sense 🤔. I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought they were the same thing. I always thought the Mustang was a classic muscle car, oops.
Thanks Lisa 😊
A lot of people think a pony is a young horse. No. A pony is a breed of horses that are small (58 inches or less at the withers). In the same way, pony cars are a "breed" of muscle cars that are smaller.
I guess these cars have to be ponies because they just have a little less HORSEpower than full muscle cars. ;)
@@philatelythings4038 oh snap, that’s it!! 😂 Thanks CJ
hey Graham ... loved the compilation of the Insta vids out here on the 2022 Great American Stamp Show! And that was a richly deserved award you received. Must have been humbling. and thanks for providing the various links. Looking forward to your next. Best wishes from Goa, India :)
Great video as always! I love going to stamp shows, there are several smaller ones near where I live and the season will be starting up again soon. I've been ill and have not been able to attend - clearly, fear of COVID, which cancelled so many shows for years is still taking its toll. I would have loved that $1 booth, hunting for treasures is so much fun!
$1 booths are so much fun, I can spend hours looking through boxes. Sorry to see that you are ill, hope you get better soon and attend your upcoming shows. Thanks for watching 😊
Yay! Loved this episode. Hope to be there next year!
🙌 thanks Heidi. Hope to meet you at a stamp show soon 😊
Thank you Graham for taking us with you to Sacramento!! 😊
You are very welcome, thank you for watching, Ricardo 😊
Yes! Don’t sacrifice your own experiences!
Yup, I often get asked..How was the show?... And sometimes I really can't answer 😂
Finally! Some good news today!
😔😊
I collected coins,stamps and baseball cards starting in1959. Back then stamps were #1 hobby followed by coins. Sportcards were a kids thing. Now just look at the crowds at stamp,coin and card shows. Very old folks overall at stamp shows. Coins younger but many of them are bullion stackers only. At card shows kids to senior citizens.Maybe I should sell my set of Zeppelin Plate Blocks and buy some more cards? LOL. I still love all 3 of my hobbies even though they keep me broke!
I also collect stamps with sheep on them. First time I have come across another collector of sheep stamps.
Oh nice! 🐑 I noticed when looking for some images of sheep stamps that there is quite a beautiful range of them, great topic to collect 👍
Супер видео, спасибо огромное!!!
👏👏👏 I hope to go and meet you at a stamp show soon. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I hope so too! Thank you so much for your support. 😊
Another great video, Graham! I was at GASS too but unfortunately I didn't see you there. I would have liked to have told you in-person how much I enjoy your videos! (I'm a fellow Final Cut editor so we could have talked about that too).
Good job Graham! Love ur channel ❤
Glad you enjoy it! 😊
Nice video
😊🙏 thank you
Oh wow that looks so exciting and fun, I wish i could join and have a look around. On a different note, I recieved your letter and was really excited, made my day tbh.
Glad to see that it arrived 😊. Thanks so much for supporting the channel.
#philately is #1
Thank you 😊
Great
🙏😊
20:22 it takes a month. They also get send to you or your friends in a plastic sleeve and cardboard.
Thanks for sharing your experiences at GASS 2o22 and all your great videos for this great hobby! It was great to be able to chat with you there for a few minutes. I am working on your Rhino stamps bookmark.... you should get it in about 2 weeks.....
So great to meet you and chat at the show. I hope that you were able to enjoy the show while you were there. Thanks so much for your support, looking forward to the bookmark 🦏
Interesting, thank you for sharing your experience!
You are very welcome, thank you for watching 😊
👌🏾
😊🙏
Wondering if Graham will be producing a video regarding QEII issues considering Her Majesty's recent death.
Well Darn! I was there but I didn't see you.
Finally got a notification! Long time you tube was missing it.
I was wondering about that, I haven’t gotten notifications in a long time.
@@ExploringStamps got some, not all. Glad you made it this time :)
Dam it I didn't know it was coming to Sacramento,I only live a half an hour away. I guess it doesn't matter I didn't have any money anyway. Keep up the good work I really enjoy your channel.
Oh no, you were so close! Next time 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching.
Loved it :)
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
beautiful episode
Thank you 😊
Graham, I have a question that I don't know if you want to address here or in your next video. Whenever a stamp is being submitted for new issue, it was my understanding that it is a 5-year review process before consideration and design. They just came out with the James Webb telescope stamp but the telescope was just launched last December; so how are they able to design an issue that stamp so quickly when all others take so much longer? Can you also provide us with more information on the stamp submission process? Thank you so much for your time and efforts.
Great video! I so miss going to stamp shows. Lots of great options to grow the collection online but it's just not the same as being at a show. Maybe next year....
Thank you Deborah 😊. Next Year!!
Amazing video today
Glad you enjoyed it 😊. Thanks for watching.
👏👏👏👍✋️✋️✋️
😊👍
Ηey Graham, would you make an episode that explains when an Monarch dies what is the procedure to change the face of the monarch to the present? i think this will be an interesting hashtag#
Interesting episode as always! Honestly though, I can't imagine these shows are sustainable and will be around much longer... there didn't seem to be very many people.... certainly not enough to pay for all of the floor space, table fees, etc. I hope I'm wrong.
I hope so too, we definitely need more turnout at shows, so I encourage anyone in the online community that has not yet attended a show, to give it a try. There are so many wonderful things to experience at a stamp show.
i need to inform myself of wich convention are in italy, i want to dig through those 1 dollar boxes
I could spend the entire 4 days in the dollar section. Just need coffee and I’m good to go.
@@ExploringStamps yeah coffee is a must
👋
👋😊
The Oprah Winfrey reference was comedy - are you going to be at the long beach expo this month? Or the Glendale one end of next month?
Those Alaska 7 cent stamps were issued in 1967-69 . 1959 was when Alaska became a state. just saying
Whoops. Thanks for pointing it out. I hope you enjoyed the episode.
RIP Queen Elizabeth....
😢
Why don't stamp collector protest for stamp dealer deal with the bank.
Great video! Will you also be attending stampex 2022?
I’ll be there!
@@ExploringStamps that's great! I'll be making a talk on extreme philately there, hope you'll attend
@@yanmarin4445 I’m also doing a talk about online philatelic community and #Xtremephilately.
@@ExploringStamps That's great! Hope I'll still have something left to say😂
😅 I think we will be fine, I won’t go into too much depth, just explaining it while discussing the growing online community.
Hi
Ah...vertical video syndrome...
Queen died
😢
I really wish phones recorded in landscape mode by default no matter how you hold your phone. Vertical videos have always annoyed me to the point of I just refuse to watch them no matter how "good the content is". If phones recorded in landscape mode, and there is tech now that all phones can do that by default without needing for the user to do anything different, then good video format could be kept for all videos. Instead, we only get videos that are good for people who are slendermen.
I know this is a gripe of zero point and it is all in my own hang-up, but vertical videos are a bane to the world.
You don’t have to watch this video. Vertical ‘portrait’ allows me to do other things that I enjoy, such as presenting content to the side, and easily recording candid moments. Thank you for this comment, I guess?
"Bane to the world'? This guy must be living a wonderful life 😂
@@ExploringStamps My apologies. Love your video series. Has gotten me into doing a bit of stamp collecting. Just a big pet peeve of mine and I was just griping. Been stressful for me and not been handling it well. Was really excited to see another of your videos ... and, well, my own distaste of that video format got in the way.
Keep making the videos and again, sorry about being a grump.
Having fun 😆😆is the most important and learning about stamps🦏. You could spend a week there . Congrats on your award 👍👍 . You had a great time . I wish I was there 😭. From 🇦🇺🇦🇺😎
