Thanks A LOT for this video since I love this serie from Mexico and I have some of these stamps among my Mexican ones. I didn't know the fact of the chance of facial value so I was definitely triggered so I looked through my Mexican double stamps I a found one with a different value (agricultural machines), so I added to my collection! Thank you so much! You can find a similar story in the stamp of the Weimar Republic (Germany) whose currency, the Mark suffered a huge inflation in 1923. At the beginning of the year the basic stamp worthed 5 Marks, at the end 50 Billion of Marks. Once again stamps are teaching history! :D

[@ExploringStamps]

They are teaching history! I had no idea about the inflation in Mexico as well... and only while researching did I find out and also look through my collection before finding VERY different values on some of the stamps... Its an awesome find but it taught an interesting lesson. I think the German inflation stamps are probably the most dramatic and famous... 50 Billion Marks is just crazy.... ( I might or probably will be doing another episode that touches inflation this season ;) Thanks for watching Stefano! :)

[@LadyTomoyo1]

To learn so much in six minutes, I love it. Thank you!

[@ExploringStamps]

Its amazing how much these little pieces of paper can teach us :D

[@crispinhj]

I've been collecting classic Mexican stamps for a while but I've also been accumulating these Exporta stamps so getting the background was really interesting

[@ExploringStamps]

Glad you found it interesting! I think a lot of us have a few of these stamps here and there, but I never really appreciated them until I researched the background... Now I value and enjoy looking out for them.

[@philmerrill4280]

A favorite series of stamps for me as well. The graphics are just great and the varieties of watermarks, papers and perfs over the years keep them interesting. Would be cool if we had a presentation of the Mexican souvenir sheets for the Olympics...

[@ExploringStamps]

The Olympic Souvenir sheets are beautiful! Glad you like this stamp series as well, thanks for watching Phil :)

[@benitomichel471]

Great video, mexican philately is fascinating. Thanks for sharing these lovely stamps.

[@ExploringStamps]

I agree! Mexican philately is fascinating :) Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching.

[@sarahgoodman6279]

I can see why it is one of your favourite series’, it is so colourful and rich in history!

[@davefigueroa4964]

Again, another great video. Your editing and presentation of the history of the stamps, and they countries they come from are very, very well done. Please keep them coming.

[@ExploringStamps]

Thank you very much! I will keep them coming (good thing there are millions of stamps and stories out there ;) Thank you for watching!

[@jeffnewbery7376]

Fantastic video. Very informative and illustrates why I am enjoying this hobby so much. And now I have to add the series to my want list😆

[@gerrygarcia653]

I found this series many years ago when it was still being produced (sometimes in the eighties). At that time, I I was traveling in Mexico and any large or small town I would stop by the Post Office if they had one and would buy them by the sheet. Eventually I became an accumulator/collector. I still have them and many others from Mexico. I've been retired now and how recently been thinking of pulling them out and working on my albums. Glad I found your video......nice to see someone else in love with these. I've loved this series from the first day I saw them. Thanks again.

[@ExploringStamps]

Wow Gerry, thank you for sharing that. To hear that you were collecting them by the sheet when they were still being issued is proof that these stamps really are special. Please do pull them out and work on your albums, having actually acquiring these stamps in Mexico at the time just adds to the story, thank you for watching :)

[@barrydrees3617]

I love that series as well and was hoping that you would cover it while binge watching season 1. I hope you will cover a few other of my favorites (Italian castle definitives, Angola wildlife, Belgian birds). Cheers to a great show.

[@isabelleisles7649]

Mexico for the win

[@ExploringStamps]

Definitely a great series, I agree :)

[@davidlandsnes326]

Excellent video (as always) on an excellent series. (They're also great for learning Spanish vocabulary, since there are so many topics and items featured.)

[@ExploringStamps]

Oh definitely. Words such as Zapatos, mezculla, Fresas all jumped out as useful Spanish Vocab to know... the only stamp that didnt provide a new Spanish word for me was Tequila...I seemed to know that one already. ;)

[@thegreenviking1422]

Loved the episode... Thinking i must get me this set... i love the history behind it.

[@ExploringStamps]

Gotta love the Exporta Series! Keep a look out for the stamps and good luck on the hunt :)

[@anthonyalongi3432]

Outstanding episode!

[@ExploringStamps]

Thank you 😊

[@phils473]

This was a nice little blast from the past! When I was 8, I recieved a number of the shoe stamps in a block or strip (I forget which, I'll have to look). I had no idea that there was such a big story behind them. Muchos gracias!

[@ExploringStamps]

De Nada! I had like 3 or 4 of these stamps as a child... but I only understood the significance of the stamp when I was researching this episode, such a cool stamp series!! Thanks for watching :)

[@growwithme5035]

your videos are so good. I leanr a lot of stuff in just couple of minutes. Sometimes when i get bored i rewatch it. YOu should make a video about your album :) Keep filming.

[@ExploringStamps]

Thank you! thats a good idea and I will definitely consider it. I will keep filming :D Thanks for watching!

[@KristiaanVanErmengem]

This is why I don't like the modern trend of stamps without a numerical face value: it's always interesting to see the inflation through the stamps, particularly during periods of hyperinflation.

[@Polloycaracolas]

What a beautiful stamps! Really interesting the inflation on the stamps. My country, Argentina, had some problems with that. Now I am going to look my collection searching this thing.

[@ExploringStamps]

I wonder if you can see Argentina's inflation through postage stamps similar to Mexico... something I will keep a look out for.

[@RhysDavisonDarts]

got excited that it was R. Davison at first! haha would have been a nice stamp to own!

[@bella88ification]

Definitely gonna check this series out. Thanks for the introduction! 😁

[@henryleonardtulio7707]

Learned a lot in this vid. Keep up the great work!

[@ExploringStamps]

Thank you very much Henry, I intend to, and I really appreciate your viewership :)

[@mocanualexandru1983]

I have only one stamp from this series! But now i want more!!!

[@ExploringStamps]

There are so many out there with different values, colors, paper, designs.... keep a lookout. (its really cool to have a dedicated page or two in the album for this series).

[@mocanualexandru1983]

He he he... now i look for Mexico Exporta :)

[@trevorsmyth9668]

I'm currently going thru my 30 years of accumulating these. An interesting study with the watermarks or non-watermarks; different perforations and papers, and of course the 'echelons' being the diagonal lines on some of the values. about 150 in all I think.

[@thegoldensmile8140]

I absolutely love these stamps

[@ExploringStamps]

They are awesome, I get super excited when I find them!

[@hugolallemand4571]

I love this serie im not very good in english but you dont have accent and your voice us Perfect and all espisod are wonderful

[@ExploringStamps]

Thank you Hugo, I am glad that you are enjoying the series and that you can follow along. Thank you for watching :)

[@NisargSutaria]

Awesome :-)

[@my171]

~ I like this episode; especially the stamp with a strawberry! 😜🍓

[@ExploringStamps]

my171 the strawberry is pretty cool, I’ve seen a red and pink variety, but I think the lime wins the fruit category 😁

[@maricarmenflores933]

I recently received a bunch of these from my aunt who was getting rid of all of her stuff. I was intrigued by the different face value on the stamps. Your video just solved the mystery for me, thank you so much. Is there a way to find out how many different stamps are in the series, or any other series for that matter?

[@lombranar]

Good morning I do appreciate your channel if I had one request it would be for a going to detail about the Mexico revenue stamps of early 1900's. please thank you so much. From West texas

[@edmundsyiemiong8258]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@luissamson1904]

Yo tengo dos stamps Export de Mexico. Me gusto el con una citron Verde

[@barrydrees3617]

By the way, some of these Mexico Exporta stamps had wavy lines printed over them, do you know what that means?

[@ExploringStamps]

Good question, I can only assume it was to indicate a different issue with a new face value. But I could be wrong.

[@bodhisattyaguha1443]

How many stamps are there in this series???Are they available online

[@ExploringStamps]

This is a great question... I do not know the answer as to how many there are. This is a very challenging series to collect them all, since this series ran for so long, there are so many variations in paper, value, design... If anyone knows the answer, please reply and let us know! Yes you can find these online through ebay or other stamp outlets.

[@bodhisattyaguha1443]

I have three of these series and I want more.

[@thegreenviking1422]

The fact that the series ran for so long is what makes it a great set to try and get full... looking forward to finding them.

[@bodhisattyaguha1443]

The Green Viking inform me from where you got the stamp..plzz

[@thegreenviking1422]

Hi Bodhisattya. I am a collector for many years but mostly I bought from online auctions. Also recently inherited my fathers stamp business.
