Good morning. We have an extensive stamp collection with many stamps that are of value. Is it possible to advertise them on your website.
@ourdadsstamps6 күн бұрын
I don't have a website as such, only this youtube account and similar with several online auction sites. I wouldn't be happy selling other peoples stamps as I have no control over it. It's easy to open an account with Delcampe or eBay (maybe not so easy), there are many others, why not give it a go.

Fantastic video! I built this complete set. It was very worthwhile. Also have the KGV Silver Jubilee complete minus the Egypt Special Forces (I have a copy of that issue in place of the originals). The British Omnibus series are excellent collecting focuses. Currently building the British Commonwealth WAR TAX overprint set. Wish me luck : )

I've often thought about that but never tried. It will be quite a comprehensive collection when you have finished. Good luck.
@Freestylephilately6 күн бұрын
@ourdadsstamps I have acquired most of the stamps - still hung up on some of the Canada issues (they were the first of the "series" starting in 1915). I believe all of the other dominions that participated issued starting in 1916. Will be making a video on my other channel @junksilverman actually putting and organizing them in an album. Cheers to you and your awesome work!

Interesting layout - not something I would have chosen, but I do like the binder covers
@ourdadsstamps6 күн бұрын
Thanks for yoyr comments. Personally I prefer to use my own layout for my collection. Standard layouts don't always agree with my way of thinking. For example, definitive sets often have stamps added to them at different dates, and with this layout they are shown on a separate page. I prefer them all together......but that's just me.

That was excellent. I have 3 penny blacks and have recently started to look into trying to plate them and this will help motivate me to try and start. The way you did the video was very clear and self explanatory. I've just brought the SG specialised catalogue and just need some time to do it. I've also been collating all my penny reds and hoping to do that same with them. The format and style of your videos are probably the best I have watched. Thanks, Keith.

I'm Canadian and collect Christmas stamps as a topical and I disagree with your affirmation about the 2 cents from 1898. It is a very much so a Christmas stamp! It says ''XMAS'' right there on the stamp. It came out in time for Christmas stamp that year. What does it take to be a Cristmas stamp? I don't see how some such as you can say it's not a Christmas stamp. No other stamps had such an inscription before. Is it a form of jealousy because Canada thought of it first? I don't get it.
@ourdadsstampsАй бұрын
But apart from that, what makes it a Christmas stamp :-) I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video. I'm also happy to accept that it's a Christmas stamp.

Thanks for another interesting video giving an overview of stamps of a single country, and especially these interesting islands. The St. Helena stamps are very nice, and being interested in bird stamps, I really liked the bird stamps. I didn't know there are so relatively many indigenous birds on St. Helena. Coming from South Africa, I know St. Helena from the about 6000 to 9000 boers that were prisoners of war there during about 1900 to 1902. So I am very familiar with the name St. Helena, but learned a lot about it from your video.

I don't know much about US covers I'm afraid. In the UK everyone collected FDC in the 1960's and so these do not have much value. It may be a different story in the US although there is often an odd one that has special value. In any case, I'm sure they have sentimental value to you. Enjoy looking at them.

That would be difficult since the first stamp was not issued until 1840, maybe you have some very old postal history which is not something I know much about. Have a look at this video to give you some tips on selling your collection. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q37RZayGn7xgrqs

The place to make the most money is with online auction sites, like eBay, Delcampe, Hipstamp etc. These all require a fair bit of work on your part but that is also a rewarding experience. The other option is to take them to a local dealer or auction house.
@chrislovesstampsАй бұрын
Love this set. And also a good option, as you said, to dive a little deeper. Now I am interested in Gibraltar or even Commonwealth. That would mean a lot of more stuff to collect. Are there cllectors who collect commonwealth from and to a certain year? Thanks for the video Pete!
@ourdadsstampsАй бұрын
Thanks for your comments. Yes there are a lot of Specialisms within commonwealth collectors. Most general collectors only go up to 1971 when decimalisation came in and coincides with the Stanley Gibbons commonwealth catalogue. Other only collect certain monarchs, KGVI being very popular. The choice is yours.
@GreatStampAdventureАй бұрын
I just loved the Ascension stamps you showed! I like the earlier pictorial stamps with the monarchs, but I especially like it that they have so many stamps featuring fauna and flora. The ships are lovely as well. People were so short sighted importing all the alien organisms to various countries, and naturally it especially has a huge impact on the native fauna and flora of islands! They should rather call the green Mountain the "mono desert" Mountain, because it will surely not be rich in biodiversity. Thanks for another great video!
