It’s heartbreaking to listen to his narrative at the start and at the end of the video, on what was his last Christmas. God Bless you John…. Rest in peace.

RIP John. The world is a poorer place without you.

Hi, I'm in Glasgow and I have a large collection of British stamps.

Another fantastic video John, and that photo right at the end! You with your friend's "cat" I am guessing! Wonderful!

Hi.i have over 1000postal stamps can you help me.sell or value.. thanks John..

Really enjoyed your video. In addition to the 4 UK KEVIII stamps I have some for Papua, Morocco and a few other places. I’ve also seen reproductions on offer for UK and Australian KEVIII stamps that were never issued. Presumably for the coronation that never happened.

Years ago in the Netherlands in the Euro time, before stamps with the old money value ware made invalid, someone sold stickers with different old stamps on it so that you didn't have to calculate the total value from Guilder to Euro. It was useful if you had to send many packages. Only, the stickers did contain a counterfeit stamp among the real stamps.

Hello from what a beautiful stamp. I have just won a penny black in an auction here in New Zealand. The stamp has four perfect margins. It’s from plate 4 SG1. It has a black maltese cross, I’m hoping to get a red one soon. I’m over the moon with mine as you are with yours. Congratulations 🥳

Just back from a visit to Isle of Man, have a collection up to 2000 and thought to get a few from the post office there. Bought a stack of postcards to send to family and friends around the world... found out that the post offices on the island only sell booklets for local delivery... meaning that all those different rates stamps they sell are not available for general postal use from the post office. One can buy the new issues from the philatelic online service that is based in an industrial business park near the airport... not a place for collectors to go. The IOM Post Office just puts meter labels on all outgoing mail. So, two things, first, if you get legitimately postally used stamps - expecially the overseas rates - they will be scarce! Secondly, IOM "postage" stamps are really now just government labels with prices affixed... they do stretch the definition of what a "postage" stamp is.... Otherwise, recommend to one and all a trip there to enjoy the towns and villages, the historic sites and maybe some motorcycle racing.. it it a great place with great people!

You do great. New fan ;)

You know what you du :)

so sad your no longer with us

Could you do a video on how you print your labels for these stock books thanks

I use a Signascope watermark viewer which does not involve any fluid and enables the watermark to be properly studied under a magnifier.

I have used Swan lighter fluid for watermarking. No problems so far.

What does 'Tramp stamp' mean? Always wondered what it was about?

Do you buy stamps

High denomination refers to the value printed on the stamp. High value refers to the actual value of the stamp.

The passing of John is such sad news. I’ve been watching his videos since 2011 and just loved his passion for stamps. John’s videos are full of great information and being a Machin collector myself, I found John to be a great helper in building and understanding my collection. After watching this last episode I immediately went on line looking for Czeslaw Slania’s SG2078 1999 £1 large Machin. Thankfully I found one and it will always remind me of.:- ‘John Collects Stamps’. Please keep John’s videos on TH-cam for a while longer because I’m sure I’ve missed a few of them along the way. RIP John.

Wowza!

Great video - thanks for sharing these works of the Master

14:51 - 18p stamp is of the Great Exhibition which took place at the Crystal Palace

Stunning collection of Machin's John. You're right, just a wonderful design, completely iconic. Very nice video. Thanks!

Rest in peace John

Thanks for a very interesting post, John. We seem similar in a way that we both live alone and only see our kids intermitantly. I also enjoy my own company and spend ages flicking through my albums. I have an extensive Commonwealth collection including these two countries though I only collect up to KGV1. I have about 20 early Transvaal shield/eagle designs that Ithought were quite valuable but just watched a 'Cheshire Stamp Auction' video where it explained how to spot forgeries and it appears all of mine ARE fakes. Sob - though they seemed too good to be true. I also particularly like the KEV11 head profile stamps. Anyway, all the best to you, Ray

Слава Україні! Чудовий альбом, гарні марки, дякуємо за відео

Hello to all dear philatelists. I have a specialized catalog of postage stamps of the Netherlands from 2007, and the prices listed in it are almost twice as high as in the more modern catalog in this video. I have a question - how did it happen and what is happening. Perhaps one of the philatelists from the Netherlands can explain this to me. I will be grateful for the answer. Valentine

Can you please explain to me what do the numbers mean on back of stamps I have asked this question quite a few times and I get replies saying what numbers when holding the stamp at an angle these numbers appear that seem very faded what do they mean

What does "CTO" stand for please?

RIP John! I loved watching your videos. God bless you.
