Ep. 7 - Stamp Haul Unboxing #1

Whereby I answer an ad in Linn's Stamp News offering a mixture of 100 foreign stamps for $7, with the possibility of up to $102 in catalogue value.

Well, actually, I would like to see more like this... Well done.

[@tedtalksstamps]

GX Jupitter-Larsen Thanks you.

Like or Dislike: Like. Clever idea for a video, and brilliantly executed with the intro and the trip to the mailbox and the sorting etc. It definitely builds up suspense. Nice stamps, too.

[@tedtalksstamps]

physics2112 I’m glad you liked it. Thanks.

[@andrewpayne6720]

Great fun watching this video! Thanks! More please!

[@tedtalksstamps]

Andrew Payne I’m glad you enjoyed it. There will be more.

[@paulfitzpatrick6810]

I enjoy gambling on bulk stamp purchases. I'm not too concerned about the actual stamps as i get my moneys worth in the fun of sorting and storing. And the odd gem does pop up. I really like your mailbox. Does it double as a wood stove for really small pizza's? 😁

[@tedtalksstamps]

Paul Fitzpatrick I’ll have to try the pizza idea sometime. 😁

[@danwhite1318]

I enjoy both your history related philatelic videos and now also this. I might go take up that order

[@tedtalksstamps]

Dan White Thanks Dan. Good luck with your order.

[@raulmenjivar6584]

Love your videos Ted!

[@tedtalksstamps]

Thank you very much, Raul.

@@tedtalksstampsI collect Latin America (I'm of Salvadoran heritage, born in USA) . If I may suggest a possible topic; Nicolas Seebeck, he's basically the reason most Central American stamps are very low value. I would argue he invented the CTO. At any rate I love your videos, you and Graham Beck are just what our hobby needs. I wish you the best and looking forward to more!!

[@tedtalksstamps]

@@raulmenjivar6584 Thank you for those kind words. That is an excellent suggestion for a topic. I will work on it.

[@srinathnarayanan7343]

Watching your youtube video for the first time. Very interesting and informative.

[@tedtalksstamps]

I'm glad you found my channel, Srinath. Thanks for watching.

[@olivergolding8927]

great video more unboxings please.

[@tedtalksstamps]

Oliver Golding Thank you. There will be more.

[@betsyvallejo5892]

Enjoyed the video, will watch more. As a novice stamp collector it helped me to understand what’s out there and how to sort thru them. Fun to watch and enjoyed the upbeat music too!

[@tedtalksstamps]

Thank you, Betsy. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@firstlast6390]

Another excellent episode, Tedski! What?!? Is everyone so enamored by your dashing good looks that they aren't bothering to look at the stamps? Black Rhinoceros is Grahamus becki? I bet you did that just to see if anyone was really paying attention!

[@tedtalksstamps]

First Last yep, and you are the 1st to comment on it. 🤣 Thanks for the kind words.

[@NisargSutaria]

Awesome :-)

[@tedtalksstamps]

Thank you, Nisarg.

[@byronsbrain]

Yes I would love to see more videos like these...

[@tedtalksstamps]

Okay, you talked me in to it. 😁

[@tedtalksstamps]

Okay, you talked me in to it. 😁

[@olivertull6078]

Love this Ted - would love to see more like it! 😊

[@tedtalksstamps]

All right; you've got it.

[@DanHughescoraquest]

I really enjoyed this. Thank you.

[@tedtalksstamps]

Dan Hughes Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

[@johngreen3543]

Ted you can go to the APS monthly, they have additional adds for mixtures. Lets keep this going, 8% of cat is just about right for a good mixture I think. So it is thumbs up on the mixture. I have a friend who does stamp art and I always save the bad ones for her.

[@tedtalksstamps]

Good idea. Thumbing through the physical magazine is also a lot more convenient than reading Linn's digital edition. I'll keep that in mind for my next order.

[@danybonsai0997]

Love your unboxing video. I have recently discovered your channel You got now a new happy subscriber!

[@tedtalksstamps]

Thanks for subbing, Dany. I'm glad you like it.

[@ancienthebreworg]

Yep, I loved the unboxing video and now I'm off to watch Stamp Unboxing #2 :-)

[@tedtalksstamps]

Thanks, Jeff. Hope you liked it.

[@dannys.6148]

Good video. I'm particular to colorful, not too small in size and interesting stamps and don't care for antiquity, value, origin or rarity. These package/bulk offerings usually hit a good spot for me however, $7 is a bit too steep for my taste as I've had great luck on ebay with rates of around $3-5ish for about 100 stamps. Cheers!

[@tedlawrence4189]

Back when I was young HE Harris sold grab bags for $1. They always had the same old low value definitives an a few better items which were always damaged. It was to be an unsorted bag. Baloney! Keep in mind that a $1 back in the late 50's and early '60s is about $6-7 in todays money.

[@nicklasschmltt6959]

That unofficial stamp from Hatti is neat

[@tedtalksstamps]

Yes, it is a nice set.

[@robertoantunes7947]

show !!

[@tedtalksstamps]

Okay.

[@saintelmo46]

At the 4:53 mark you show Mexico #2066. That is a joint issue with US #3203. If you are into joint issues, that was a pretty lucky purchase.

[@tedtalksstamps]

You know, when I saw that stamp, I thought it looked like a US issue, not realizing it was a joint issue. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@velammalbodhicampusvidharr1389]

i watch all video all are super

[@tedtalksstamps]

Thank you very much, Velammal. I appreciate it.

[@paulcodyer6258]

Well, I guess no punks are going to trash THAT mailbox !!

[@tedtalksstamps]

True. Though, a neighbor’s was destroyed when a car ran in to it. 😁

I like the intro music

[@johngeurtse5231]

Looks like a good value, 👍 Question, do countries sell single stamps of a particular year as in the past or just sheets because of self stick. John

[@tedtalksstamps]

I have ordered single copies of self-stick stamps, and have seen singles available from websites of some countries such as Austria, Spain, and Faroe Islands, but I don't know the policies of all the countries. You would just have to go to the postal web page of whatever country you're interested in, and see if you can order singles.

[@jeffreywall8822]

Hi Ted or talking ted, what i don't understand is you mentioned Hipstamp, but how many different sellers did you have to look at and how much p&p would that cost in total to purchase them from Hipstamp? Not that i want any of them but because I am curious to know why you compare prices with those stamps on Hipstamp?

[@tedtalksstamps]

It's just a point of reference, a way of gauging the value received in the packet, rather than simply comparing it to imflated catalogue values. You're right, one is not going to find all of the stamps from one dealer, so you would have to figure shipping costs for multiple orders.

[@cristian7051]

How about some rare stamp? do you have?

[@tedtalksstamps]

No, I do not own any rare stamps.

[@josegoncalves-kn3vp]

Bad quality video,sorry

[@tedtalksstamps]

Thank you.
