Hi @AD-ho5vj! Thank you very, very much for watching and for your very uplifting and kind remark. It is very sad that you lost such philatelic happenings! I am glad if you could experience something of how it is from my video. I wish you a tremendously happy and prosperous 2025, filled with interesting stamps!!!

Thanks tremendously for watching and commenting! Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year for you!🙂

Hi Suthat, thanks to YOU for watching and for the lovely comment!

Hi Archie, thanks for watching, and all the way from Thailand! The digital age is amazing. We are all in touch all over the world! Have a wonderful day!

Thank you ArunKumar!!!!! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting.

Dear Roman and Nikolaj, really thank you so much for viewing and for your very kind and positive comment!!!!!! It means a tremendous lot to me! It took a long time for the new video!!! We moved and somehow I was not very motivated for a new video, and the editing of the video took me a long time. I am sorry for the long time without a video! I am so glad you enjoyed the fair. I also enjoy the kind of people in New Zealand. They are very warm and friendly, and the people at the stamp club are indeed very interesting and knowledgeable. I really liked the Netherlands album and the New Zealand album was a good buy. Somehow I did not buy anything that day!!!! Afterwards I regretted it a bit. As you know I enjoy especially your stamp videos so much as well! Take care, and very best wishes here from New Zealand!🙂

Hi Alexander, so good to see you here at my channel! I miss your videos. Thank you for watching and commenting. I am glad you liked the video. Take care!!!!

Hi Chris! I like Brian very much as well. I really learn from him continuously at the stamp club. The New Zealand album was a good buy, but funnily enough I didn't buy anything that day! My mind was a bit all over the place. Thanks for watching and your nice comment!!!!

Hi! Thank you tremendously for watching and commenting! I myself learned so much when I made the video. India has a fascinating history and such rich culture! At the moment I am not collecting Indian stamps so actively, but my interest was ignited and I am definitely going to continue collecting stamps and hopefully make some more videos about Indian stamps.

@@GreatStampAdventure gotcha. I am actively collecting India (and Iceland) stamps. This episode and others helped me tremendously.

Hi Georgie! Thanks for watching and your very kind comment!! I appreciate it so much! I really enjoy the stamp fairs. 🙂Take care!

Hi Jeff! Always great to see you here!!!! Thanks for your time to watch and for your kind comments! I also enjoy Brian's company and learning from his knowledge very much. Funnily enough I didn't buy anything that day!!! Afterwards I regretted letting some of the things I looked at go without buying! I think my thoughts were too much all over the place. Enjoy the second part of the weekend!!!!🙂

@ your videos are always very entertaining and educational !!!

@@jeffsstamps Thanks so much!!!

Hi Maxim! Thanks so, so much for watching and commenting! It means so much to me! I enjoyed the gift very much, and loved to browse through the material. Take care!

Hi Vladimir!! Thank you so much as always for watching and commenting!!!! I am very glad you liked the video and enjoyed the fair as well. Best wishes here from New Zealand. 🙂

Hi Laurent, my special philatelic friend! It was a struggle to get the video done and be back! But I did it. I am glad. I like Brian very much. He is passionate about philately and he has so much knowledge! To do the interview with him was so easy. He speaks well and interesting. His gift was unexpected and special. You are so kind! I try my best to be less "giggly", but it just comes naturally. Really thank you for your very kind and positive comments!!!!!!!! Take care mon ami!

Hallo Dawid, thank you for your support! It means a lot to me! The stamp club members are indeed very interesting. I feel I should have an interview with each of them. Enjoy your weekend!🙂

Hi, neighbour! Thank you, thank you, thank you for watching and commenting!!! It was very easy to interview Brian. He speaks well and interesting. The club is very active. We recently moved to Tokoroa and I contemplate to still attend club meetings, even though it is about one and a half hour's drive to Tauranga. You must also have an awesome day and an awesome weekend!!!!! 🙂

Hi Gregory!!!! Welcome at my channel and thanks very much for watching and commenting! I enjoy the stamp fairs very much, and I never manage to browse through everything of interest to me. Best wishes to you there in Michigan.🙂

Welcome to my channel again, Sergey! I love to see a comment from you. Yes, it took far too long since I posted the previous video!!!!

Hi Jerry! I loved the interview with Brian. He speaks so easily and well and is very interesting. I am glad you also enjoyed him. You are right, $10 NZ$ (less than US$) for that album was very reasonable! I bought nothing that day and was sorry about that afterwards. There is a lot to buy on the stamp fair! I hope you are OK, and you must enjoy your weekend!

Hi Rick! Thank you so, so much for taking the time to watch my historical videos! I appreciate it SO much! Take care!

Hi Rick! Wow! Thanks, but I do not actively collect Netherlands stamps, apart of those with the themes I collect. I think the collection at the fair fascinated me, because in comparison with other collections there it was pretty comprehensive and impressive. But thanks again so much for your generosity, but I will just hoard without purpose if I take your Netherlands stamps. Take care!!!

Hi Schuey! Always so good to see you here at my channel! I liked the Netherlands album a lot, maybe because it was such a good collection. I loved my gift! Thanks again for watching and commenting! You must also enjoy a wonderful weekend!!!!!

Hi my very special philatelic friend! I always smile when I see a comment from you! Thanks for your kind comment. I truly enjoy the stamp fairs very much! I am so glad you enjoyed it as well! Hope you are well and in good spirits!🙂

Bonjour Laurent! Thank you so much for noticing and caring! It took me a while to settle, but I am uploading a video at the moment. It is not a good video, but I really just had to finish something! It has been too long since my last video. Merci encore!!!!!!!! You are very special and kind!!!!!

Hi James, I always feel privileged when you visit my channel! I absolutely adore your website. I have a shortcut to it on my Google screen. Interesting to hear that modern Malawi stamps are difficult to get. It was a very special gift from a special person. Thank you tremendously for watching and commenting, and for adding a link to my video on your website!

Thank you for watching more of my videos!!! I just love fauna stamps!

Hi! Thank you very, very much for watching, commenting and subscribing as well!!!! I appreciate it so much! I also subscribed to your channel. I love Polish stamps, and I am sure I will enjoy your videos. I will watch them as soon as I have time. Kind regards!

Hi haunguyen. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Thank you also for your kind and positive comment. I also learned a lot about India's history when I made the video.

Thanks for watching and commenting, Marko. I really love bird stamps. I really like birds in real life as well. Take care!

@GreatStampAdventure Me too. Every year I try to see and identify 100 different birds. I also do birdhouses for them. I have almost 20 on my yard or nearby.

@@TideOfStamps Wow, wonderful! What a great idea, see and identify 100 birds per year. 👍🐦

Hi Chris! We move to Tokoroa, about one and a half hour's drive from Tauranga where the stamp fairs are. One needs to cross a high mountain pass in the process. However, I still plan to attend a club meeting every now and then, and also some of the fairs. I will see how it works out. Yes, those large packets of stamps are yummy, and they do not all have massive duplication. I think they are ideal for finding varieties of stamps as well, since some of them are marked as not having been sorted through. I hope you are doing splendidly!

Bonjour Laurent! I am OK. I am sorry I just sort of vanished, and the next video is MASSIVELY overdue!!!! We are moving at the moment. Next week we will move into our new home. It just became hectic, and I also packed all my stamps, video equipment etc. for moving. I thus decided not to fret, and I will resume as soon as we settled in the new house (it is in a town about 1 and a half hour's drive from where we now live in Tauranga). Thank you so much for thinking about me and noticing the absence of my videos!!!! You are a good friend! Take care!

@GreatStampAdventure Oh Charnie, it feels great hearing back from you!! I am glad you are ok, although I know that moving to a new place is a LOT of work! I am certain you will be even happier there! I hope I am a good friend! It is easy to be one with someone as sweet as you are, Charnie! As always, sending my very best wishes from Provence 😊😊😊

Hi JK! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I am so glad you liked the video!!! I learned a lot about India making it.

Thanks so much my special NZ friend! Thanks for being here, watching and commenting. You must enjoy the rest of the week tremendously! 🙂

Hi Radek. Thank you for watching and commenting!!!! Coming from you that are so knowledgeable about stamps, I appreciate it even more! I struggle a bit with making the videos, but I love the stamps. 🤩

@@GreatStampAdventure well, I think your videos are much better than mine! 🙂 You make them very well!

@@radeknovak1243 Thank you, Radek. But I truly believe I still have to improve a huge lot! We make different types of videos. Yours is shorter, but very polished. 🙂

@@GreatStampAdventure we all learn all the time and improving ourselves 🙂

Hi! Thank you, and thank you so much for watching and commenting, and for liking the video! It means a huge lot to me and the channel.

Hi again! 🙂I think I already have some beautiful stamps, but I am a relative beginner stamp collector, and most of my stamps are still unordered and not organized into final collections. I am still putting the stamps into stock books - at the moments still haphazardly. Have you decided yet what you are going to collect?

Hello!!!! Welcome here at my channel and thank you so, so, so much for watching, commenting AND subscribing! I appreciate it so much! I am glad you could get something from my video. I just love, love, love the stamps. It is excellent that you are getting back into stamp collecting! I am sure you embark again on a joyous road. Thanks again, and also thank you for planning to watch some other videos of mine. ... Also thanks for picking up on my name. If I may: what is your name if you don't mind?

🙂Give anyone a few whiskies and you may get some interesting stories, real or not. 🙂 Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hello Raul! It is a pleasure. Thank very much for watching and commenting!

Hi! I liked the FDC very much, and it was nice to think there are only a few of them. Thanks again so much for watching and commenting!

Hi my friend! I liked the FDC very much. As always, thank you very, very much for watching and commenting! I hope you are doing well!
