I took the opportunity today to rewatch this episode and I am enchanted by the organization and beauty of the event, the union of the philatelic community warms my heart, when I think I have seen it all a taxidermy envelope appears, the postage stamp is a fabulous world.
@ExploringStamps10 ай бұрын
😊 It is indeed a fabulous world. Stamp shows bring so many cool collectors together, and Stampex is my favorite of all the shows. I always meet new and old friends there, totally worth a trip one year in the future :).

Great video Graham. It looks like it was a fantastic stamp show. I am attending the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada 's ROYAL 2023 in London, Ontario this weekend, but with 30 dealers it is certainly not as big as Stampex 2023.

I love that you showed a penny black with LB as the corner letters, because those are my initials as well. I collect GB as one of my main areas, and at the front of my collection are two full pages of Queen Victoria stamps with LB, including a penny black! I wish I could have attended this show
@buzzawuzza374311 ай бұрын
There is nothing even remotely like this in the desert here in Phoenix so having you highlight some websites with reputable dealers is very welcome. I have reduced the bulk of my own collection down to the stamps I really want and am very close to starting to go on a search to add more. Just need to know for certain which direction I want my collection to grow in. Thank you so much for your excellent videos.
@ExploringStamps11 ай бұрын
Thanks BuzzaWuzza!! Yeah it is unfortunate that we don't have Stampex type shows everywhere, it is always a treat to attend. When you are ready to start growing the collection, definitely check out the PTS dealer directory, you can go directly to each of the store links right from the site: www.thepts.net/members.html#!directory/map. I'm looking forward to hearing more about your focused collection as you build it up!!
@jamestotty595610 ай бұрын
Great vid! I had an amazing time at Stampex this year, and really enjoyed talking with you and Todd about philately on the internet in general in the social media surgery. I'd have chatted more but you looked rather busy, with lots of content to make. Besides, I could only be there for 1 full day, and had a hell of a lot to do myself (see: scour the place for stuff for my thematic collections, write out and post cards from Stampex for exchanges, and then have enough energy to go to the postal museum the next morning). Met up with a load of my friends that night down the pub in Charing Cross and naturally showed them a picture of the 1c Magenta behind its reinforced glass. Should have seen their faces when I mentioned it's worth £8,000,000 or so!

Missed your talk on day 1 when Dad and I went😅 we heard the announcement, dad was deep in boxes of album pages and albums and i was deep in the FDC boxes 😂, Was all round a fun day opening my eyes more to the hobby, looking at the older gb stamps, and the values were shocking if i ever managed to find one in the bundles or kilo-ware/charity lots ild be speechless. Bit sad royalmail stoped going there tho when you think how important the company is for the hobby and collecters, wonder if they will be going back or if they're done 🤷🏼
