What an amazing collection!

I love this video style.

[@StampAuctions]

Thanks. Andy and Vincent are always arguing about stamps so we figured they should film it!

[@mikeamos5044]

What a superb lot , a proper Empire collection,that would have taken time and money to put together

[@StampAuctions]

Yes, we think it took the collector about 30 years, we don't see too many like this!

Hi Vincent and Andrew. My favourite is the seahorse. As I just found one for my collection a 5 shilling no less. Wooo hoo. Great videos guys keep it up. James from Scotland.

Absolutely lovely collection

[@StampAuctions]

Thank you! Cheers!

The 5 pound Sierra Leone is a gem ... those colors are almost emerald and gold ;) Dream collection here, gents! Thanks :)

[@StampAuctions]

Our pleasure!

[@MHelou22]

I love it. Beautiful video.

[@StampAuctions]

Thank you very much!

The pound green seahorses is my absolute favourite in that selection.

[@StampAuctions]

One of Vincent's favourite GB stamps, in tied place with the Penny Black and 1929 £1 black PUC. The PUC had the advantage of size giving the engraver more to work with but the Seahorses have many more shades and printings making for a more interesting issue!

[@frankauerbach]

@@StampAuctions I love all the stamps you mentioned and have them all, including the entire plate run for penny black.

[@sylviomarinho9197]

Wonderful !!! 👏👏👏

[@StampAuctions]

Glad you like it!

[@troyyang3703]

My favorite is ten pound Nyasaland keyplate.

[@StampAuctions]

Now there's a classic! All the intricacy and value of a bank note, but on a tiny square!

[@frankauerbach]

Would love to see you doing some videos on penny black singles and multiples on covers.

[@StampAuctions]

Yes, will definately do a video about those when we have enough of them in one place!

[@natashathomas5141]

Please make more videos

Being a China area collector, I too like Hong Kong. The collection isn't so strong here unfortunately - at 2:46 we see only 6 Queen Victoria stamps.

[@StampAuctions]

Yes, you are right but we do get interesting Hong Kong items from time to time. I hope we can come up with something for you!

[@paulocesarferreiradeazeved2547]

Excelente 👍👍

[@StampAuctions]

Thank you so much!

[@johnsmithers7]

An out of this world collection that I really enjoyed, though it makes my own collection, that did cost a few bob, seem totally inadequate. After watching this, I'm tempted to give up. It must have cost a fortune to put together, and I'm very curious as to the estimate and what it actually sold for.

[@StampAuctions]

Hello Ray. Understood, we're like Rolls Royse salesmen ourselves - we work with great things but have regular cars at home!

[@clintonbarratt8571]

Stunning collection 👍

[@StampAuctions]

Thank you kindly

[@victortaboika1114]

Curious about the gum Condition of the chosen favourites: mnh? Mlh?

[@StampAuctions]

All mint, lightly hinged!

[@victortaboika1114]

Very nice, thank you, loved this video. Inspiring

[@J.A.D.STREETSTROLLVLOG-gc7ft]

Nice🤩

[@StampAuctions]

Thanks 🤗

[@AfricaStampsonline]

Is this going to be one lot?

[@StampAuctions]

Probably not. The owner expects us to offer as separate lots in our public auction, I dare say they would entertain a serious offer though... hmmmm...?

[@michaelanzelino5068]

Vincent is always assuming people are falling asleep. Quite the contrary. We love this stuff. And stop rushing through, it's annoying. Frankly, I wish you guys would have done a deep dive on these beauties.

[@StampAuctions]

Sorry Michael. Will try to slow down. I'm off work at the moment and Andy will be doing a few videos on his own, hopefully you'll prefer his style...
