Hi Jeff! Again I enjoyed your video very much. It was very interesting to hear that the Vatican City postal service is so reliable and active. I would never have guessed that. The Universal Postal Union mini mosaic stamps are lovely, and I liked the Year of the Book series stamps a lot as well. Thanks for the interesting episode! Take care! 🙂

Hi Charnie - thanks so much - these are the first Vatican stamps for me - I also found it interesting they have their own postal service !!

Hello Jeff, Another really great video! Vatican City is one of the countries that I collect so it was nice to see you feature some of their beautiful stamps in your video. All the best to you and your family!

bought some boxes of estate sale and sorting through stamps . Noticing some Vatican in the mess to organize so i can either add to or possibly trade. Finding large amounts of Australia and New Zealand including some of the States.There are some nice Mint sets and older material mint and used but alas no kangaroos.

haven't looked them up yet but have a blue Victoria 1 shilling. I think it's a Victoria stamp and has stamp duty so have to check it further and a few of the earlier New Zealand Victoria stamps mint. have been sorting all week managed to put the UN collection of year sets and countless glassines into one box, a large collection of Isreal stamps, souvenir sheets , mini sheets, blocks, 2 stock books etc. into a small box. one of the boxes was full of manilla sheets without countless amounts of stamps on them. I have sorted south and Latin America onto some manilla sheets I had. there was a few manilla stock sheets full of mint commonwealth, one of which had the GVI marriage sets collections, 1946 victory sets, visitation sets to various countries in sets. so far have 6 manilla sheets full of assorted commonwealth mostly mint. a collection mostly 1960-90 of singles , gutter- pairs , mini- sheets souvenir sheets of Channel isles. a kabe album full of mint Papua New Guinea as well as many singles and such of the pacific isles assorted. There are many Scandinavia sets, booklets mint and many used including 2 envelopes I've filled of Iceland , 1 of Greenland and Faroe islands. 1 vanilla folder with a Norway collection on pages to 1980 full of stamps but mostly used. one of the boxes full of glassines and many sets of various mostly mint stamps. A small box full of souvenir sheets to sort. Lots of Europa sets mini-sheets, souvenir and singles also same with UPU. manilla stock sheets with topicals

@@johnscamardo2145 wow!! I am envious - what an excellent lot of stamps to sort through!!! That is one of the best parts of stamp collecting -the organising of the stamps!! I love the hobby and can see you do too John :)

[@johnscamardo2145]

I do but with so many stamps to go through it's a fun and demanding task. As I said found some nice Vatican stamps and one Roman states to add to my collection hopefully. still sorting a few days I guess until I get to where i can go through a particular country without finding more odds and ends.Did find a Vatican cover and some Australian -NZ covers.always nice to find

Really nice series, that holy year series. Reminds me a bit of the stamps of Malta. Is it hard for you to get Vatican stamps? And that stamp at 7:52 is gorgeous indeed, same goes for the 8:21 stamp. By the way, you have a pretty good camera, that switches it focus very well! Nice video Jeff, thanks!

Hi Chris -thanks so much -I actually got these stamps via a Facebook auction - there were fairly inexpensive so I grabbed them. I am just using my I-phone to video :)
