Great find for $21 ! You certainly made your money back and some 👍Merry Christmas & a very Happy New Year to you and the family

[@michaelanzelino5068]

Whenever life gets me down, I turn to anyone of your videos. Especially since I too, am a collector of U.S. philately. And to see these marvelous finds that you come up with is fantastic. Keep rockin it dude, as I look forward to your next installment.

[@zubazub66]

The thrill of the hunt well done 👍

[@steveradell859]

Nice, I enjoy your enthusiasm 😀

[@joannewolfe5688]

Oh man! You may not be speechless, but I am!!!! The duck stamps! The grills! The early presidents! The parcel posts etc.

[@silkontheweb]

Glad you enjoyed it!! I sure did...

[@LilleythWrites]

Those duck stamps! My mother was an artist and she submitted work to the duck stamp competition.

[@silkontheweb]

What a great connection to a wonderful set of stamps!

[@fareast_de]

Not a bad find for a whopping 21,- $. Of course in mixed condition, like in most of these old albums, but nonetheless with some better issues. Have a fantastic Christmas weekend ! 🎄 Greets from GER, U.

[@markscheuer8648]

Jackpot! Congrats. Very nice album.

[@thomasalmerini471]

My best values are older collections like these! Enjoy!

[@kozzackkelt]

Nice stamps ! Re: mustiness..... have you tried putting album in a plastic box (like the storage ones), then putting a bunch of newspaper in there to (hopefully) soak up the odors... The two C3's look like the "Fast" airplane variety..... that album was a great buy ! Thanks for sharing with us. You and your family have a Merry Christmas !

[@jeffnewbery7376]

You’re hilarious, I love the enthusiasm😉. I am off to my stamps to find my own treasures…

[@williamault2490]

Excellent work my friend!!! I think you were at your $21 investment when you hit the second “Black Jack”!!! Nice finds!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@AlexandreCordeiro]

Excellent and Exciting Demonstration, *Congratulations!*

[@GreatStampAdventure]

Great value for money! Some nice stamps. Thanks for showing! A happy and blessed Christmas time! 🙂🎄

[@steveho8375]

Beautiful find. You mentioned something about hinged but I didn't quite get the meaning. Can you clarify? Thanks.

[@silkontheweb]

Sure! These stamps were stuck into the book using stamp hinges, little strips of adhesive that are suppose to peal off easily but sometimes don't. Regardless, when you hinge a new stamp you damage the gum on the back... that's why collectors often prefer stamps that have never been hinged, but they're harder to find...

[@piratephilately]

Score! Well done!

[@greglance4712]

Great , when a plan comes off, well done on taking the risk.

[@johnscamardo2145]

sorry for all the damaged and off center stamps but good space fillers

[@christophersmeltser6564]

Nice find! Always exciting!

[@TsukiCondor]

Your enthusiasm is infectious! Killer pick up dude!

[@stuartcollectsstamps]

Wow! What a great find! I'm very very tempted to start a US collection to go along side my GB collection

[@silkontheweb]

I'm still working on my GB collection... such wonderful stamps... will be a future series I'm very much looking forward to!

[@rogerturner1881]

Merry Christmas and a happy holidays. Today i found only an EP cover from Italy of Connie Francis on MGM in Athens flea market. Issued in 1961.Unfortunately with an Danish EP in g+ condition. The cover was clean and great, looking now for the record.

[@adamhuffman3354]

I’ve always loved the black jacks and YOU found a nice one!

[@jameslove1092]

Hi Silk. Its called a fast jennie. Great find BTW. Best regards from James in Scotland.

[@deborahlee9972]

Love this! I always get the urge to shop after your videos. 😅 Question: these are obviously hinged. Will you soak the hinges off? Even for the unused stamps?

[@silkontheweb]

Got really lucky... the hinges came off super easy without soaking!

[@steveradell859]

It is very unwise to soak hinges off of mint stamps! If the hinge is green (Dennison) it is usually quite peelable, if you get much resistance, just tear at the fold and leave it

[@GarryRobertson]

It's a double error Jenny! Both the frame and picture both inverted. lol

[@KensStampCollection]

Spoke too soon. Oh sweet

[@fin59shaw]

Your albums are different than what I am doing, but I'd like to hear some thoughts from you. Mostly, i have been getting albums on eBay, like History, Presidents, States, Civil War commeratives, things like that. I am happy, and like them. But, no one on KZbin seems to show any of them. There are a lot to choose from, and I think mostly priced cheap. I'm not looking for anything rare, just interesting stamps and presentations.

[@KensStampCollection]

Grill checking time

[@victorbloom8286]

You did good pilgrim

[@brushcreek42]

Don't forget to add sales tax and shipping cost, at least another $15.00; but still a good find.

[@kengilbride7182]

Great Video Let me know your address and I will mail you some stamps from my duplicates. I always enjoy watching your videos and look forward to seeing your next one. And if you already have the stamps I send you just put them in packets to give away. Have a Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@silkontheweb]

Merry Christmas to you too! And thanks for the offer... I'd be happy to trade if you'd like, there's an address in the description of the video. Just let me know what you collect

[@seandolan8502]

❤ But of course there were no Columbians…. The cover tells you it contained only REGULAR issues. Minkus published separate albums for commemorative stamps. Young collectors these days wouldn’t know this as Minkus albums fell out of favor and are no longer sold. Congratulations though. Well done!,,,🎉

[@backburnerart]

Do you soak the old hinges off before you add to your davo?

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Is the album a bit foxed.? Hope that doesn't extend to the stamps!!

[@DavyBoy007]

This was some find ; lots of scarce old issues

[@remickstreetmusicinc.6931]

I wish I knew you’re buying algorithm lol.

[@silkontheweb]

Learned from a lot of mistakes... :)

[@10camiel]

Yes exactly! You also bought this one on Ebay or are you searching on other websites?

[@silkontheweb]

This one I got on Ebay... take a look at my how to buy great stamps off ebay vid for the trick I use... I also check out a couple of local shop and auction sites regularly

[@10camiel]

@@silkontheweb I did and also worked. Bought my first albums by Ebay this week. Can't wait to see them.

[@TOONZiTO]

score!

[@victorbloom8286]

You mean vertical pear

[@TopHotDog]

Those look like seconds to me.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

So, You're a Harry Potter fan too?
