My Favorite Stamp

[@adamhuffman3354]

I’m nominating you for the Nobel prize for your advancement of knowledge in philately! By the way this is the best video yet! Thank you so very much.

[@alexgrannum9866]

Great video! Love your exuberance. The personal story was a beautiful element. Thanks for sharing.

[@vonzipper7854]

I am subscribed to almost 300 channels and your video is the most touching one I have heard in some time. Thank you for having such a great channel and fun discussions on stamps.

[@silkontheweb]

So grateful to you for saying so... this was a story I've wanted to tell for years, actually wrote a few essays about it... never imagined I'd put it in a film, but then, never imagined I'd do youtube! Amazing how hobbies can change your life...

[@ConiferElements]

I enjoyed the stories and the sights! Thanks for taking us along on your stamp adventures.

[@billsweeney4785]

very emotional episode Mr. Silk but also there was many happy moments in there too, (finding your stamp) Thank you so much. You are absolutely right my friend, we never know how much one person can affect another in even a brief moment of friendly intent. Very nice episode, excellent!!!!!

Looking forward to the day the USPS releases the 61cent Bob Dylan commemorative on his 100th birthday.

Great Album, sad story and even the river road stamp

[@DavidKennett]

Your enthusiasm is infectious Mr Silk. Another great story - and so happy you found a few stamps for your collection on your wee road trip, you will always have a story to go along with their purchase now as well 😎

[@slugore]

A touching story and a great video about a fruitful and fun adventure. Thanks for sharing, Silk!

[@silkontheweb]

Great to hear from you! And thanks... was pleased with how it turned out, been thinking about it for awhile

[@johnpontin9276]

[@silkontheweb]

[@Christopher-zf1ng]

Your videos always bring me joy! Your laughter and excitement always Brighten my day. Even though this had a tutch sad im glad to have heard it from you. Thank you , Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@silkontheweb]

You're welcome! Thank you for watching

[@fareast_de]

Awesome footage, and your choice proves that you can´t deny your Dutch- American (Frisian) background, coming from a coastal nation. It´s part of your DNA. 😉Greets from GER, U. 🚤

[@silkontheweb]

Absolutely

[@michaelpickering4665]

Your best video yet. So heartfelt. Love the hat as well! You have an infectious way about you to take a hobby, some would say, as boring, and bring it to life for us and all others to enjoy. I actually have subscribed to 20 different vid topics, but it’s yours the one I keep my eye open for each week. I live as a new collector vicariously thru ur excitement of seeing you turn the crazy pages of a $31 Hatfield album! Thank you for all you provide to us closet collectors as we share our philatelic enjoyment with you. P. S. What’s the affection with Chicago?

[@LeoSchulp-p6d]

What a sad story, but what a beautiful video!

[@tedlawrence4189]

I was already a stamp collector for 6 years when your favorite stamp was issued! One of my favorite US stamps is scott # 293 which is the $2 1898 Trans-Mississippi issue. It shows the Eads bridge accross the Mississippi River at St.Louis Mo. It was built about 1888. Before it was built,the only was to cross the river, was by boat or barge. This includes the entire river from New Orleans up to Minnesota! I have driven over several times. I have a nice mint example of this scarce stamp in my collection. I bought it about 50 years ago before it became so expensive.

[@dennyd4848]

Sooo - you’re stranded on a deserted island, you only want this one stamp…but the post office will still deliver them? 😂😂 Makes perfect sense! 🙏

[@silkontheweb]

Neither rain nor sleet nor stranded on a deserted island... :)

[@stengrendon7143]

I love the way you tell a story, I too was worried the guy was going to jump in front of you, so glad he didn't and it gave your story a touching end. And A favourite stamp, I have favourites but singling out one as The Favourite would be hard, there are so many.

[@silkontheweb]

Thanks for your encouragement, means a lot! (This might become a series... lots of 'favorite' stamps)... :)

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Thank you for this video Mr. Silk. The stories were heartbreaking and enlighening. leavened by your mellow voice and howls of joyous laughter at appropirate times. Please continue, you have a knack for this...

[@GreatStampAdventure]

Great poignant story telling combined with stamps. It is so enjoyable to watch! Thanks!

[@DDepukat]

What a heartbreaking story and also uplifting,.

[@clarkmorgan2763]

Another enjoyable video, keep it going Mr Silk.

[@KensStampCollection]

Thanks for sharing your experiences on the river, both great and horrible.

[@jimgordon6629]

This is the best video I’ve seen by you. I was very moved by your experience. You and I are both hooked on stamps and Dylan! I live in Fort Worth, but some of the best times of my life were exploring the Mississippi around Vicksburg and New. Orleans. Keep up the quest-people who don’t understand stamp collecting are deprived of a great pleasure. !

[@silkontheweb]

Thanks for watching! In the back of my mind is a quest down the Mississippi to New Orleans in search of stamps... :)

[@kozzackkelt]

Is THAT really Minnesota in February? Where's the snow? Glad you found something to add to your collection in that stamp album you found.... here's an idea - make up some cards with your contact info to leave with "antique/Second-hand" shop owners to contact you when something philatelic comes in.....

[@silkontheweb]

It's something, eh? Pretty bad drought... and great idea about the cards, thanks!

[@AJuchum]

I just bought a few small albums from someone in Denmark and am waiting expectantly.

[@JohnVaughan-sl7mj]

I see you HI

[@EddieCordero-lv5ku]
