Good evening. I have been watching your video with a great deal of interesting information about UK brands and I wanted to share my thoughts on it. For the past few years, I have been trying to assemble an entry-level stamp collection of Machins. We don't have a lot of these in Russia, but friends from other countries have helped me. With their assistance, I have already amassed about 50% of this collection.

Good morning, I'm from the UK and I'm sorry but I think our 'Royal Mail' have messed things up for stamp collectors by being greedy and gradually increasing the amount of comemmoratives issued each year plus, as you say, not just first class but putting stamps up to a tremendous value. Like you I only collect used stamps and ceased with commems in 2010, I still get given used by friends and now put them in the back of the book. I have 1000's of stamps that I can't or don't want to sell, if you need any dates or commems up to 2010 please let me know and I will send them if I have them. Thanks for the video better than I've seen anywhere else. take care, UK Ray

I have one of those stamps

Thank you for helping me decipher my father in laws massive Hungarian stamp collection.

800 factorial Possibly 800 x 799 x 798 x 797 …… x 001 =

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Good morning, I have 2 pairs of Princess Elisabeth and Margaret stamps. Could you please tell me where i can sell them? Thank you very much. Best reggards.

What a great presentation! I’ll have to take another look at my Hungary stamps. I also now want to look into how people survived under such awful inflation. Thank you.

Crazy!!!!! I can just not imagine how any postal services could eventually be executed or afforded! Mind boggling! Did the stamp collectors buying up those impossibly high rate stamps bought the stamps at face value? How did they afford it? Thanks, very interesting presentation!

👋👋👋👍👍👍💪💪💪😇

A great and interesting video with a lot of interesting information.

As Charnie from GreatStampAdventure said, great video. Always enjoy them and learn a ton from them.

Thank you for your video, your advices and your points of view. Saludos desde Madrid, Spain! 👌👌👍☺️

Thanks for the excellent video. It gave a very good introduction and necessary knowledge for collecting stamps. Hope it will prompt some to start collecting stamps and feeling less lost when doing so.

New Subscriber. I enjoy your presentations. Very interesting. I'm your neighbor to the south. I come up to Winnepeg once in a while. Never thought of looking for stamp societies. Silly me.

A faster way to identify a stamp with a cellphone is with a app called: Stamp Identifier”

The Royal Mail seems to have a pretty complex pricing system. It is amazing (or sad) that illegal activities, like counterfeiting of stamps, always is present and need to be compensated for in a system. Thanks for the video and information!

Great and very informative presentation about Q Elizabeth II stamps of GB. I was amazed by the complexity of the machin varieties. Thanks!

Great content, again. Much appreciated. Nice detail. Thank you!!

Thank you! There is an app, I think the name is "Stamp identify" with which one can also identify stamps on your cell phone, but it is excellent to keep this in mind, because Google etc. is so easily and widely available.

Excellent explanation of how to use this widely available technology. It seems so obvious now I've seen the video, but it has never once occurred to me to use this for stamps!

My favourite stamps to collect are hyperinflation era stamps from Germany and Austria. My all time favourite are the free city of Danzig ones

excellent vid

Interesting video. Minor correction. Correos means post or mail - e.g. correos mexicanos/ correos de Mexico. Correos is also the Spanish post...

It's a great time to be a collector. I have managed to purchase so many collections of stamps I thought I would never own as a kid (introduced to stamps by my uncle). I think he would be proud of what a collection I have now ... wife has a differing opinion ;)

Again an excellent educational video. Thank you very much Winnipeg Philatelic Society!

Excellent video and information, especially for a beginner, like me, who must still make these decisions, e.g. what to collect. Thank you for the video!

25:38 the cancel was more valuable because of it's ethnicity.

Bom dia eu tenho vários selos quero vender

Very interesting. Nicely researched and presented. Thank you!

China

Forged Machins have been coming from China for years, I dont think that Royal Mail cares.

Very informative - I had no idea how complicated Machins are!

Very interesting pieces of history. Thank you!

Thank you. Very interesting. It helps to "understand" the inflation influenced stamps, that are frequently e.g. in world mixes one buys, better.

Congratulations , what a great and informative presentation, thank you for sharing

An excellent video, well structured and explained. Puts buying and selling in perspective. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I aim to play about 5% catalog on larger purchases, for lots were I am spending $100 plus. Bigest purchase was about $2000 for collection cataloging at around $120,000. I will be working on these stamps for a long time to come. I guess I say this to say don't overpay. I do fill in on high value small lots or individual up to about 25% on occasion. Still seems better to save up and buy larger lots.

An other great video, Thanks.

i started collecting 1954 when a first class letter was a nickle}}} 5 cents. I cd mail 20}}} TWENTY! letters for that dollar.........fast fwd and a letter---- ONE letter costs me $$ 1.07 including tax.......so it wd cost $$ 21.14 to get the same value for my money..........hmmmm......................

Fun video thanks

I just started collecting Machins and yes Robin's site is awesome. I also found that 'an other youtube site 'John Collects Stamps' has valuable info on Machins. Thanks for sharing this great video.

Howland & Aspinwall was a trading company in the 19th century that traded with China, in items such as porcelain, silk, and tea. (Source: Wikipedia)

Very interesting - love the NZ health stamps. Have an awesome day 💥! From HWFAH (Hot Wheels, Lego, Stamps, Cards & collectables) 👍

a very interesting and informative video I learned a lot about the varieties of UK postage stamps

I got some used stamps on paper from Canada. I got one that was still on paper then glued onto another envelope plain to see but cancelled the second time around. made me laugh about how everything is mechanized

Not collecing France, but interested in their stamps. I found this very interesting and informative. Interesting to aee how France released their stamps in the past. Now I might want to dive into the French stamps I do have Thanks for this presentation and the others, I really like them.
