Woo hoo! He's baaaack! Definitely a brand new journey (and lest costly) journey in the world of stamps awaits! :D

[@physics2112]

Great to see you highlighted in the video -- you've absolutely earned it

[@thedigitalphilatelist]

@@physics2112 Thanks! Look for forward to more videos from Graham! You never know where he'll end up. haha

[@ExploringStamps]

Amen to less costly! Haha thanks James, more to come!!

[@dobereign]

I think you should keep posting this new kind of video, as a weekly-based (like stamp news or updates). But please don’t quit your traditional season’s style episodes, they are unbeatable!!!

[@ExploringStamps]

Thank you Joao, let's see where the videos take us 😃

[@philhodgson8]

Having watched all of your videos I am very excited by your new format. Will look forward to how the channel develops. Thanks Graham.

[@ExploringStamps]

Thank you Phil! Looking forward to seeing where this takes us :). Thanks for watching.

As always, your videos are fun to watch and informative. Nice to see Laura (the power behind the throne, no doubt). Thanks for sharing the great links in the description.

I for one will miss your Exploring Stamps series, they are the best videos on KZbin (after mine of course :-). I do like your idea for the vlog and getting people more involved. My request would be to see how you organize your collection.

Thanks Jeff 😃. Let's see where the videos take us.

I like your new setup Graham, it looks super cool! I’ll miss the “Exploring” videos, but I can totally understand the travel aspect of it would be a heavy burden. I hope you can still do occasional videos like that, just with digital travel (like seeing the Great Wall outside your window). I like the vlog pilot, and I hope you can do some interviews or collaborations with other philatelists. Thanks again for getting me into the hobby! :)

[@jxavier3876]

Well the pandemic won’t last forever

[@ExploringStamps]

Thank you Patrick! Totally looking to do some interviews and collaboration with others. This format will definitely allow it :). Thanks for watching!

I agree with Patrick, Graham, Maybe once in awhile you could “travel” somewhere “outside your window”...you’re good at camera tricks; you could make it happen, I’m sure,

[@dwaynebagley173]

I have appreciated your videos since the first season. I'm a big fan and like so many here believe that the format in the Exploring Stamps video was secondary to your personality and presentation. Glad you'e giving something new a try, I will definitely be among many people watching.

Perhaps I will try that, lets see where the videos take us :) Thanks for watching!

[@jerrymcstamps2892]

Thank you for the video, cant wait to see more of your videos. Speaking of which i was inspired by your stamps video talking and explaining about stamps that you found and me and my friend started a facebook group where the members are encouraged to write a short paragraph talking about stamps that we found and it has been a lot of fun. I recently wrote a long post talking about New York governor Dewitt Clinton and the revenue stamps featuring his portaits 😁😁

Whats the name of the group? I wanna check it out! :)

Wonderful! Yes please share with us the group so that we can all check it out ☺️ Thanks for watching!

@@ExploringStamps Every country needs that one stamp that dominates.. artistically, historically but is still available.. not a z grill or one cent magenta locked away to forever be a hole. In fact that's an interesting topic.. that one stamp each country has that strikes a deep feeling in collectors.

Extremely enjoyable. Thanks

[@erikmulder2574]

Hi Graham, A lovely new video, a pilot you call it, and I am curious where you go with it. I would love you to have some stamp chats on a topic (zoom) and get that on youtube. A chat like that can be informal and you have direct contact to your viewers. I do have the virtual stampshow from PTS in my agenda, however have to work during the day. But I really was involved in the virtual stampshow from the APS and enjoyed it enormously.

The room makeover looks fantastic and I’m very excited by the new direction! You’ve been a pioneer of online philately, Graham, and I could think of no one better to show the rest of us the way. Good on you for knowing when to press pause on the old-style videos. Sometimes, projects started for love can quickly become obligation, and then the love is gone. Luckily for us all, you still have the spark in your eyes. Onward and upward!

~ Wonderful pilot, Graham!! There IS so much you can cover even at home and you already did share much info in this first, new vid. I like the google fillers, haha! I too google a lot & learn definitions there; sadly, gone are the days of the dictionary books. Speaking of ancient, those dinosaur stamps are awesome & it’s cool to learn about the “blackline masters” (teacher term...I already forgot the name of those “pre-stamps”). Great job! Nice new room & stamp canvases you had made! Love the navy blue walls! (blues are my fave colors)! Fun fact: The longest stamp was issued on my birthday!! Cool, cool! :D Saw the turquoise mug in ad on the side...darn, I missed it when I ordered the black one. Maybe I’ll have to get it too! I wore the ES tee the other day & it was comfy. :) Ok, I should stop now...lol

I loved the original series that explored the story or history of a specific stamp, it is definitely what gets me excited about stamp collecting. It was cool when you went travelling around the world to show the sites depicted, but not necessary. If possible, a smaller segment that still focuses on understanding/explaining the decisions that made the stamps in the first place in the new format would be appreciated. Looking forward to the new series! Thanks for everything, I am always excited when I see a new video uploaded.

[@barrytownsend8519]

Hi Graham. Love your new direction here. From your recent APS talk I discovered just how many hours and hours it takes to make the Exploring Stamps videos, so I understand the new approach. I think it's a great move for bringing the worldwide stamp community together in an online forum. One suggestion: why not have a 'slot' in future videos for subscribers to send in their own 60 second videos on something in their collection? Maybe you could announce future themes in advance and get subscribers to share their short videos, social media stamp posts or even send you some items based on the theme which you could work into the video. Part of the fun would be seeing how you build the theme around contributions and partly to see if what has been submitted makes it into the final edit. I definitely want one of those Penny Black masks! Take care and best wishes!

[@ExploringStamps]

Thank you Barry! You are thinking along the same lines as me... Lots of opportunity to do cool things like that. More to come 😊

[@dav121121]

Just talk and tell us about your stories of how you came across certain stamps etc... Awesome series. ANd you explain scenarios as they come up that's what real learning is about seize the moment.

Hi Graham, Hi Laura (nice to be introduced officially). Love the way you put your videos together and as an avid collector I find them both enjoyable and informative. I look at KZbin all the time, but as I'm old and not a Techi (don't know if that's the right word or in the right context) I do not (wouldn't know how to begin) use twitter (couldn't even tell you what it is really, I certainly don't know what a Vlog is), but I do know stamp collecting can be a lonely hobby, especially if no one in the family is interested. Sadly searches on KZbin seldom turn anything up that seem worthwhile (except yours of course), so I will be watching your channel with renewed interest. You have given a couple of channels I can explore, and I will go to them after this. As a collector with limited funds, some of the stamps I need to further my collection are beyond my financial reach, so for the last few years I have been searching the internet for a 'Swap Shop' where I might be able to trade my stamps on a like for like basis. The bulk of my collection is GB Victorian which is substantial both in terms of variety and value, but I have not been able to find a suitable site in which to trade, so if any visitors to your site could recommend I would appreciate it. Good luck Graham and Laura and I look forward to your next episode.

Definitely come and visit thedigitalphilatelist.com - I have explanations of what each social media platform is. Do you use Facebook? A lot of people use Facebook to swap/exchange. :)

[@antoniolen-rios8482]

If you haven't already you should check out some of the online stamp forums, some of which have been around for many years. My favorites are StampoRama (stamporama.com), The Stamp Forum (thestampforum.boards.net/) and the Stamp Community Forum (www.stampcommunity.org/). Each has their own style and features but they are each full of helpful friendly knowledgeable people. There are no costs to membership.
