Another great show guys!!! For 2022, may I suggest Philatelic trends...such as Auction House trends...ebay trends...and category trends such as Postal History of WW2 both European and Pacific theaters through current Topical collections available in auctions and ebay. Happy New Year guys!!

Happy New Year, guys from Greece

[@williamwoolley7424]

This subject is great to talk about! Plus, unlike most other hobbies in stamps you have issues like color shades. Perf sizes and EFO

The unnecessary tangents are what makes your discussions so entertaining.

Like or Dislike: Like. Not every episode will be a 10 out of 10; that goes without saying. What's important is your friendship and chemistry, your dedication to thinking outside the box and bringing on interesting and unexpected guests, and your presence on social media to increase the show's visibility. Happy 2022.

Happy New Year guys! Thanks for a great 2021, and looking forward to seeing what 2022 brings.

Happy New Year Congratulations and thank you for your dedication in 2021. I'm brazilian, i live in Boston and would like to give a suggestion . If you were able to subtitle the vídeos in português or Spanish, you would have hundreds of new subscribers. There are thousands of latinos philatelists looking for philatelic culture. Hugs and success for you in 2022.

I like to see you interview the Post Master General about the future of the Post Office

[@davidcollins1333]

Thanks for all the good shows in 2021. How about an episode about the demise of postal systems in other parts of the world. The Mozambique government plans to wind up the operations and liquidate the assets of its postal service by mid 2022 (or at least that is what it said in the middle of 2021). The South African Post Office, long reliable, now looks on its last legs: absolutely unreliable domestic mail delivery nearly completely replaced by private courier services, post offices closing, no stamps available in many others, etc,... There's a good chance that the single set of South African stamps produced in 2021 will be the last ever produced for that territory, ending a 150+ year legacy going back to the Cape Triangulars. There must be more of this elsewhere.

How do you not have an echo without wearing headphones i.e how can you hear him or are you wearing an ear piece? Just curious

[@bradallen8071]

Janet Yellen and Clint Eastwood, what are you nuts, one saves bodies and the other saves bonds. Do they sound like stamp collectors? What are you guys smoken?

Don t feel bad about NFTs. The bulk of buyers are not collectors but speculators that have no skills to make profits with traditional stocks and/or crypto speculation. I see no interest in collecting virtual items but hey people spend thousands on CS skins so... Actually I shouldnt say that since I collect stuff within World of Warcraft but that is not the same. NFTs are a market made riding crypto for people who feel bad they did not buy bitcoin early and now don t want to miss another opportunity in a market they do not understand. Don t spend money you can t afford to lose on NFTs and remember that if the internet goes down then you have nothing to show.
