Sir, thank you for this video. Also help me know, if insulated tip tongs are of any good use in philately...??

Thank you so much for this video! Excellent!! Regrettably I've destroyed some self-adhesive stamps trying to remove them from the envelopes. Thank you!

0:29 - Tsar Boris III. (1894-1943; ruler: 1918-1943). 0:39 - Tsar Ferdinand I. (1861-1948; ruler: 1887-1918; father of Boris III.; the stamp depicts him as a ruler of the supposedly “unified Bulgarian lands” during the First World War, but ultimately all of those territorial gains were lost due to us siding with the losing coalition). 3:01 - The National Assembly in Sofia. The stamp was issued under the monarchy (Tsardom Bulgaria). 3:04 - That’s Stela Blagoeva, the wife of Dimitar Blagoev who is the founder of the Bulgarian socialist movement. Both of them contributed a lot to the spreading of Marxism not only in Bulgaria but on the Balkans as a whole. 3:26 - That stamp is from Yugoslavia. 3:31 - Tsar Boris III. (either during or slightly before the Second World War). 3:35 - Vladimir Bashev, a renowned Bulgarian poet and journalist who died tragically in car crash (1967). 4:05 - Dimcho Debelyanov, a much beloved Bulgarian poet (symbolist) who volunteered in the First World War and died on the Macedonian front in a battle against the British. 4:32 - A stamp depicting the young Tsar Boris III.

tips on where to find stamps now since not much mails with stamps comes in the box nowadays . thanks

more of this kinda thing. learning so much. thank you.

Enjoyable. I rooted out and played with my stamp collection whilst listening and watching your videos.

The USPS “ruined” collecting. The self-adhesive stamps made this soaking activity impossible without solvents. Out of bounds for children. I also dislike the Forever stamp. I want to see the denominations. I have been idle in this hobby but used to do this in my 3rd grade classroom. Sometimes we would “sweat” them off in a shoebox and stick them on plastic to dry. When they popped off, they still had their original gum. I have a few stamps that appear to be mint but have seen postal duty.

Twaskyou sr for all information about taget,stamps. Blessings

Stamp collectors consider taggent (the name of the ink) as an additional color of a stamp, albeit only visible under UV light. If it's not there and it's supposed to be (or vice versa), it's an error, and it's probably more valuable, which makes checking for tagging a bit like using a metal detector on a beach. Keep in mind that many of the early issues (post 1962) commonly had tagged and untagged issues: the Lincoln stamps in the video are of equal value either tagged or untagged. Only later did the Post Office become consistent in tagging stamps. All modern stamps are tagged except precanceled stamps (generally used by businesses) and low-denomination stamps (1 cent to 10 cents). The first US test-run was on a 1962 airmail stamp, Scott C62. C62 was originally printed without taggent, but the Post Office later added taggent to some sheets. The first US stamp printed with taggent in the initial production phase was the 1963 City Mail Delivery issue, Scott 1238. Also, the taggent used on airmail stamps is orange-red and the taggent used on general issue stamps (as in the video) is yellow-green.

what do you do with all your dups

Too far off one sees nothin'!Some still never learn using youtube " professsors" when measuring perforations. Some measuring edge to edge full stamp. Some measure only the frame inside the stamp ..then the ones who see this think they got a million wirth stamp and dump it on ebay saying is rare😒.

I use to collect stamps from 1983 thought 2000 then I quit. I am now 64 years old and getting back into the hobby. What is you opinion about CTO stamps? I was thinking of collecting them for fun along with mint and used stamps

I also collect Cyprus and have quite a few..in MNH. Incl some souvenir sheets etc.

Come Catalogo non è completo. Il contenuto da la sensazione delle informazioni che propone hanno delle contradizioni che nella filatelia non trova molto spazio. In poche parole il nome catalogo non si nota in esso. Dare un suggerimento è passabile nella foto, nei colore (a volte è vago) non avendo una tavola di riferimento; nella data di emissione è abbastanza fedele, dei particolari come il colore o filigrane avendo lo stesso valore è poco convincente. Non ha Servizi ne Tasse e altre informazioni in essere. Ecc.

Hello I did not really follow your video, Although my collection was gifted to me 50yrs ago when I was a child ,I have only ever looked at them because of the beautiful stamps that are in the collection,I have only in the last few days heard about the dead country stamps..were you showing Dead country stamps in this video,I also loved the way you enlarged the stamps so we can see them properly.

1 have two pieces of british burma stamp

what is that one with the tiffany lamp 1 cent? it looks like it has an art of magic stamp attached. @PostalPleasures #PostalPleasures

Hey, is this channel finished now? I enjoyed these videos!

YUP - last thing to do before you go to bed. Then it does not matter how long it takes. Stamp collecting is a leisurely hobby in any case. I usually also soak any stamps I want to in the late afternoon and put them in the stamp drying book overnight.

I can recommend the stamp drying books - they work very well - one surface is shiny so the gum residue does not stick to it. The other side is designed to dry and not harm your stamps. And the stamps come out complete flat as if brand new.

Interesting video for me as I'm new to stamps. So, you've made a pile for each country, what happens next?

I just found this lamp on eBay (item # 112860110776) for a slightly better price than on Amazon.

Is this a recent video? I watch you channel but you haven’t posted in years

King Faisal as a boy and man.

We haven’t heard from you in a long time Postal Pleasures. Are you alright

Sequoyah was not a woman, by the way.

What has Postal Pleasures been? He hasn’t uploaded a video in 2 years.

Hi. What is the real value of the 6 reals.. 😮(cert)

Just found a cigar box full of similar from possible 1936. most are cancelled some are not so I don't know where to begin

Can I leave the stamp on a postcard and still use a guage?

I love your way of organising. Inspired me to do it in a similar fashion with a part of my collection. Thank you for the video!

I’ve started an Austrian collection after almost completing my Guatemala collection. I really like Austrian stamps. I aspire to have a collection like yours soon.

Interesting to note but WHICH COUNTRY ISSUED THE 1ST CTO AND WHEN.? Ithought that only certain country's issued cto's ie usually in the UAE issued the most i think.

yes fixing that novation is so thing else you should be on site helping kamala harris thank you @usps cherrs one day at a time

I have several full sheets of stamps that have become lued or stuck onto the wax paper protector. The sheets are perfect. How do I get them off the wax paper without damaging them.

Twaskyou sr for the guide how to evaluate world stamps

Nice video. So interesting that Newfoundland issues stamps themselves before the Confederation I believe.

ارجواالرد وشكرالك لكم

السلام عليكم أنا من الموصل عندي طوابع قديمة بحالة جيدة جدأ كيف ابيعها وشكرا لكم

High. Iam from Iraq lhave many Amarican and Egeptian and British old stamps I want to sell them thanks

When you make a sweat box do you use a sponge or a toughie pad I see the dark brown you put the stamps on. Also do you have a video on how to make a sweat box ?

That temple stamp at 6:36 is beautiful. There are several denominations and they are from 1957. If I start a Japan collection, I'll aim for early used and MNH lots. I'll use a stock book to store them.

I an thinking about collecting Japan scenery stamps in addition to Ceylon, Gilbert & Ellice and coffee themed stamp. I feel a stock book would be my way to store them.

Love the block stamps. Have never bought kiloware - what an adventure going through it!

I'm new to German stamp collecting I have watched video after video and have some expensive stamps who will be interested in buying them

Cyprus is an independent country but half of it is occupied by Turkey which invaded in 1974.

Very nice.

Is it true that with normal paper you can see some tiny fibre lines whereas with chalky you dont see the paper fibre. Important to indicate NOT TO DO EXTENDED SWEATBOX on chalky stamps (dont leave for more than an hour because the more soaked the stamp gets the easier the ink comes off - I lost a handful of stuck together stamps without even realising why the damed stamp ink was rubbing off.)

Hey, Just rewatching your videos. A pity you do not make any videos anymore. I hope you are okay, that is the most important thing.

Is it dishonest to soak CTOs to remove the gum?
