Looks like our friend Steve has your question answered. I had mentioned about the same on my World Refugee Day post on IG not too long ago. Do have a look.

Hi Rob, nice lot of stamps you got from Alena. I found that stamp from Cyprus with the different denominations and currencies very interesting. Thanks for showing us the stamps she gave to you!

Great video classic cars will never die...❣

Nice airmail stamps and vintage stamp album sheets.

I didn’t know the facts about the Olympic flag. So thanks for sharing

Hi Rob, nice selection of stamps. A few notes on the Cypriot stamps. Please note that the name Cyprus appears on all recent stamps in the three official languages of Cyprus: Greek, Turkish and English. The reason will hopefully be understood as you read on: 05:41 These are Cypriot Refugee Welfare Tax stamps. I was putting something together about these for you, but I'll give you some info here. For many years the population of Cyprus was a mix of ethnic Greeks and ethnic Turks, who migrated there dure the period of Cyprus's inclusion in the Ottoman Empire. Just prior to the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Britain took administrative control of the island. In consequent years there was a movement for Cyprus to become a part of Greece. This was rejected by the Turkish Cypriot population, but the movement continued after Independence in 1960, eventually leading to tensions and clashes between the two communities until the island was partitioned into Turkish Northern Cyprus and Greek Southern Cyprus in 1974. The partitioning led to many ethnic Greeks fleeing south while ethnic Turks moved north. Since that time it has been mandatory to put these refugee tax stamps on all mail in the Greek part of Cyprus. The first such stamp was created by overprinting a definitive stamp and a little later a stamp with a mother and child was produced. Several years later, the iconic image that is on most of these stamps was produced. Later on, as stocks of these ran out new versions were made with the same design, but with different coloured backgrounds. So, the 1974 that is on all of these stamps refers to the year of partition. To find which year the stamps were issued, you need to look at the date in the lower right-hand corner of the stamps. Currently new tax stamps are released every year. Money raised by the use of these stamps goes toward housing for refugees for the north, education for the children of refugees, etc. So despite the fact that the partitioning occurred 50 years ago, these stamps still have to be attached to all mail (letters, postcards, parcels, etc.) posted in Cyprus. Originally the stamps cost 1 Cypriot cent (there were 100 cents to the Cypriot Pound, worth more than the British pound!). When the Euro was introduced, this became 2 Euro cents. 06:15 The 10m stamp was the original value with this design. At the time there were 1000 mils to the Cyprus Pound. This later changed to the aforementioned 100 cents to the pound, so the 10m and 1c were equivalent in value and again this is roughly equivalent to 2 Euro cents.

Stamp vs stamp ..what a fun idea! I just stumbled across your channel and look forward to watching the rest of these :) I also plan to watch Smoky's side of these as well!

Very nice postcards as always. I liked the ornamentation - the sea theme washi type is beautiful. "That Dad Guy Washi tape Style" - it has a nice ring to it. 🙂Kind regards to you, Rob. 🙂

Canadians love cars.

re-play crew saying hi :D

Excellent haul. Hubba hubba!

I got my Anne of Green Gables card. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I even got the famous washi tape corner and hedgehog sticker. You have no idea how much this means to me.

Good washi tape combo.

I had several cards this past week that had used your washi tape style. You are such an influencer!

Looks lile you are the goodwill ambassdor to Canada.

Alot good postcard partner.

As always, Rob, great choice of cards and lovely decoration.

Lovely!

As a new postcrosser (no cards received yet after 2 weeks) the wait times you show is encouraging. Proves it can be slow starting into this but better later. I’ll try to be patient 😂. Thanks for the explanations on this.

It is a massive car show! Such beautiful old cars. I am not a petrol head, but the cars truly have a charm and artistic beauty about them. Thanks for taking us along, Rob!!!!

Hi Rob! Wonderful mail, postcards and so many stamps! People are really wonderful and generous! I loved the postcard for Polo. 🙂The postcard I sent you arrived very quickly! I am glad. Thank you so tremendously for the shout out of my channel again. I appreciate it so, so much!!! Thanks for yet another enjoyable video!

Phillipines stamps sir i have

I had to work today unfortunately because of the 4th of July holiday, I was behind. So now I'm just home being the replay crew. 😅

Have you ever collected any stamps from East Germany or USSR? Do they hold any value or is it diminished due to the history?

I'm an almost frozen watermelon kinda person in the summer.

You have rain and it's 40.5 Celsius here.

Replay crew checking in. 🎉

Another good live stream, Rob and it looks as if your new subscribers is growing. 2K soon? Well done and thank you.

No I have not no worries Rob take care mark Sutton

hi

It’s been a while since I’ve heard this one, thank you for sharing it!

Lots of cool cards received and some very generous viewers :) can’t wait for the future stamp videos.

Did you ever post card I sent you?

Polo gets mail🎉🎉

Alot of geneosity

Fun looking at the cars. Aquablue with the fins😊

Canada post knew you were doing a live!

Charming downtown

OLYMPICS I am sure there will be more countries issuing Olympic stamps. Some I know of are Burundi, Djibouti, Guinea, Gabon and Cameroun.

Love all your stamp videos! I was looking through my old, world wide collection, and realized I hardly have any OLYMPICS stamps. I think I will keep my eye out for those at the next stamp show. Thanks

Looking forward to watching more stamp videos 🤗. I’m still hesitant to enter the giveaway. I wouldn’t want to win something that someone else collects / hopes for more than I do. I do collect France and Olympics of different countries…but not past 1959. Anyway you could give us a better hint at what Liverpool sent? Btw, I think your giveaways are so awesome/ generous and exciting. They definitely keep me tuned in😊 Hope u have a wonderful weekend! Thanks

Lovely video and lots of great mail, love the washi tape, you are a great at decorating postcards, after gentle persuasion from the unicorn 🦄 gang 😃 mail is on its way to you, looks like it’s just being slow
