    I guess we all wanted to shout that Nederland is Holland but the main thing I took away from this was that you had bought a lovely stamp collection, I hope it brings many hours of enjoyment. I suspect the seller was really pleased that such a nice guy got her stamps!

      Lol true. The fact is that I knew the Holland/Netherlands connection but totally forgot it while filming the video. Thank you for the wonderful comment, I am excited to explore of the stamps in the collection.

    Holland, despite just being a part of the Netherlands, is often used as an alternate name for the country.

    Interesting to see Abraham Lincoln in a Honduras stamp! As a newbie, I would have thought at first glance that it was a US stamp.
    I'll also have to learn why Hong Kong stamps have dollar values. So much to learn!
    Beautiful stamps. And so sweet that you are attracted to blue ones because it's your wife's favorite color 😊 Great video!

    Exciting! An entire collection! I think you are going to enjoy incorporating those stamps into your collection. Lots of fun! It seems you did a great acquisition, Smokey. Hope we will hear more about the stamps in that collection in the future. Are there stamps from Africa in there? Best wishes here from New Zealand. 🙂

    Hi Smokey, what an interesting purchase, a lot of new stamps for your collection. In Chile, Netherlands is called "Holanda" 😅 so I think is the same like Holland. I know is a specific part of Netherlands, but apparently in many places it's the name that it's used to refer to the entire country.

    Hi Smokey. That’s a lovely album you’ve showed us. I expect the rest of this collection will be the same. The previous owner has put a lot of time in his lay out. Enjoy your new collection and thanks for sharing this with us. Regards Ray in the UK.

    Let me start, with a belated kudos on 500 subs. Onto the episode, appears an interesting purchase. Holland actually is the informal name name of The Netherlands. I also see Netherlands Antilles there. That aside, I wonder how the stamps stay on the page. Hopefully, they aren't hinged. Magyar Posta or Hungary do have these larger, animation stamps that I find kinda kiddish. I too have a small number of Honduran stamps, and I recently acquainted myself with a Honduran stamp collector. Hopefully, my stamp collection of the country will grow beautifully moving forward.

    A number of the stamps that are with the stamps from the Netherlands are actually from Netherlands Antilles. Netherlands Antilles is an island group located in the Caribbean. Politically the Antilles are part of the Kingdom of Netherlands, but they are a separate entity which issues their own stamps. Prior to 1954, Netherlands Antilles was the Dutch colony of Curaçao.

      Yes, I will most likely remove the stamps from the albums in order to catalogue them and house them in the albums that I use.
