Excellent video, I thought it was funny on the cancel that you discussed that had the "always Zip Code" had no zip code on the front cover.

Nice introduction video. Good you ‘just’ start with making videos and knowing you make mistakes or would do things differently next time. I live the half ton mail truck, too bad you sold it. The 1920 set of stamps are very nice, love them. Nice you came up withe the TORES term, really interesting someone collects these ‘place stamp here’ thingies. Loved the slogan stamps too. Will check out more episodes as I really likes this. Thanks for making the video.

Love your play dough and tool examples of the different separation techniques! Thanks for information about machine stamps…just 20 years they were made…fascinating collecting area! I’ve never seen those with the hyphen notches. I can imagine that they are pretty rare.

Forget the name, but a popular stamp database software even keeps track with which stamps are easy/hard to soak off depending mfg glue formula.

@@theplacestamphereshow8346 Thanks for the kind treatment. I am just happy you got the mailpiece and stamps. BTW do you like receiving envelopes with pre-paid postage embossed on the envelope? I will have some extras and can then share my address for any extra stamps you may wish to share to make space.

Hello my friend. Your site is awesome and I love the way you execute your show. However if you could ever find some time I would like to zoom with you one on one with my private meeting room. I'm from S.C. Inman and I would like to share some crazy things i'm doing and have been for years. I like your style. please let me know either way. I have a big mess that you sound like you can give me some heads up on how to get it together, Who knows it could be fun. LOL!!!! Thanks for you busy time hope to hear from you soon, Butch.

Instead of using a "razor blade" to scrape the adhesive, I use an old plastic credit card, over paper towel. Often the adhesive would be on the blade of the credit card, or be on the paper towel.

I have observed that the earlier self-adhesive (SA) stamps were soakable with water. then there is a period of time that certain SA were unsoakable with water. And finally, the most recent SA stamps are all unsoakable with water. However, those unsoakable SA can be soaked off with limited successs with lighter fluid and/or Bestine rubber cement remover.. Interest to see in your future videos on your method to soaking SA stamps for the various years. The composition for stamp adhesive appeared to have evolved over the years to truly discourage the public to remove those SA stamps from the paper envelope backing.
@theplacestamphereshow83462 жыл бұрын
I believe the USPS put a thin layer of water activated gum between the paper of the stamp and the acrylic adhesive so they would soak off easier from 1992-2003. I haven't been able to verify this but I am pretty sure I've read a couple of times they stopped the practice in or before 2003. I may just put up my first soaking video next as I've had a lot of family over the last 2 weeks and haven't gotten a lot of studio time in. I have a few different methods for modern Self-adhesives I'll be sharing when we get there. Thanks for watching!

Greg is very informative. Stamp collecting used to be a pretty big deal. I have always wondered how to get started. This is a great video on how to get started and what to look for.
@chrissahar20142 жыл бұрын
I agree Greg is informative - very informative. What I love is the novel avenues he is pursuing in stamp collecting. But I recommend a book recommended at another channel that is quite good (Stamp Eclectic Stamps) -- Foundations of Philately - a tome from the late 1980's that answers many questions about the production, design and basic collecting areas of stamps. It is only slightly outdated in just a few spots because it covers up to the late 1980's.
