Take a close look and care in identifying playing cards stamps.....there are a couple varieties that are quite valuable ;-)

[@fareast_de]

Some pretty neat finds. I like especially the cigar boxes and the potato stamps. never heard of them before. So, it was a very educational video for a whopping 36,- bucks. 😄 Greets from GER, U.

Potato stamps?!! Too cool! I’m actually about to plant potatoes in my garden today. No one is taxing me on my food. Aside from stamps, gardening is my passion and I’m growing practically every nut/ fruit/ veg that will survive in WI. For a hot second I considered doing a thematic collection of all the flora and Fauna in my yard…but that would take forever. I might just start putting duplicates that fit the bill in a cigar box, though. Just in case🤔😊

[@silkontheweb]

Nice! And me too... I'm getting onion sets in today...

[@happybunny1329]

Man vs cigar box packaging... ding ding ding end of round one. No one ever said stamp collecting is easy!! The finds were worth the effort though! I particularly liked the potato stamps! :)

I just love wine stamps. I still don't have any baggage stamps.

[@dennyd4848]

Hahaha...I've seen cleaner street fights than what you did to get into all that wrapping! 🤣

[@bobkeane7966]

Some people would pay that just for the boxes

[@kozzackkelt]

LOL... Episode one of "Aerobics for Philatelists!" ;-) ..... some nice revenue stamps in there....

[@Robertbrown08049]

I have never seen those telepgraph stamps and I only have 2 Playing Card stamps so it is nice to see stamps thst I do not have. Great find.

[@rogerturner1881]

great and interesting little collection there..Even those boxes could fetch something, if you restored them.

[@johnscamardo2145]

The potato revenues are common as well as the playing card stamps . The wines can be expensive and a complete set of wines hasn't been seen in many decades

[@sheldonsimonis4236]

I think I read somewhere that the Potato tax was repealed before it started due to a backlash from the people. Hence they are all unused.

[@silkontheweb]

Ah, great info! Thx for sharing

[@bzurer]

I loved the unpacking best

[@silkontheweb]

I really debated whether to cut it out of the video or not... a bit embarrassing... :)

[@bzurer]

@@silkontheweb I am very glad you didn't. It shouldn't be embarrassing either. Keep on being yourself, and thanks again

[@mikeringquist4797]

@@silkontheweb The unpacking was hilarious!

Were is the part 2 video ?, it was up a view days ago, but it's gone now, i wantend to watch it tonight 😟

[@silkontheweb]

Sorry to disappoint... there was an issue with it that I couldn't edit out, so I had to take it down. I'm looking into fixing it and will repost down the road...

[@christophersmeltser6564]

One thing I’ve noticed from a whole year watching your videos is that you need to sharpen your knife. Lol
