One of the Greatest Scandals in Philatelic History? | Stanley Gibbons

[@rodneycork2788]

Fabulous presentation, well done sir, thoroughly enjoyed the journey.

[@RichardTClark396]

Very informative I had never heard this in my 51 years in philately! Thank you!

[@christodoulou2002]

Another first class production by George. Well done. Deserves a rise for TV stardom.

[@yessanknow302]

Nice to see SG moving into the 21st Century with interesting KZbin content presented by knowledgable young people.

[@richardgratton5425]

Excellent travail. Merci

[@davidwilliams9]

Postage stamps and history are an amazing combination. A very interesting presentation.

[@stevekravcik609]

Modern day translation: "Hello, I collect money. Can I have some free money?" "Sure kind Sir, with pleasure!"

[@IIoveasl10]

Very interesting. I started collecting in 1972 (7 1/2 /8 years). I now collect China and Hong Kong. Hong Kong from 1862 to 1905: queens and kings. China: whatever is pre-1900. I have after 1997, but that is what I focus my collections on. Thank you for your videos. They always fascinate me.

When I am looking through Commonwealth early issues, I am always hoping, that they will be Wmk. Crown & CC, rather than CA.

[@RichardLaurence]

Thanks! Fascinating.

[@warrenbrown8998]

First Class George. Thanks

[@JanDoggen]

Nice story. I wonder if I would notice coming across one of these missing ones.... I only collect Europe, so maybe the Ionian ones ;-)

[@lidia5247]

A wonderful video! And so nice to see stamps I probably won’t ever get to see! Lol

[@jimgordon6629]

Well done! Very interesting!

[@QuinlanPower]

Got few of those, I just sented mail today but didnt knew about this

[@lakmalasia]

This is really a fascinating story. I tried to find the book "Cancelled by Perkins Bacon by Peter Jaffe" to read the full response from Mr. J. Bacon but my effort was in vain. Can anyone share the content of the full response from Mr. J Bacon to O. Hill? Much appreciate your help...

A really good video.

❤️Stumps from 🇷🇺🍀👍

[@mohdayan8919]

I have a large amount of old foreign stamps but I don't know the real value of these stamps please help me sir...

[@josephpostma1787]

They generally have little value, best to keep them or give them away if you think someone could make better use.

[@julianp2868]

Make sure your volume is up next time

[@ridikerous]

If SG is asking 35,000 for the Ionian Islands set, it must be about 12,000 from any other dealer...

[@yessanknow302]

No, because it is a unique set. You simply can't buy them from ANY other dealer.

[@robertoperezcatalan3043]

😊👋👍

[@geraldj.ellott8540]

There was another reason

[@macfunkey]

You are stepping into dangerous territory here! The words "Scandal" and "Stanley Gibbons" immediately remind me of a scam the company was involved in ... though many years ago now ...

[@TigerDude333]

Shows how vanilla stamp collecting is when giving away a few pence of stamps is the biggest scandal we can find.

[@MrHughzy101]

Great story, etc., but the production value for a company this big is appalling - you could at least iron the background sheet.

[@YellowfinGrouper]

I was more bothered about the curvature of one of the packets holding a £9000 stamp.

[@kleinbogen]

You look like a young Bill Gates!!!
