Nice video. Loved the seeing the football stamps. Insane amount of currency changes Argentina have gone through, also the inflation is huge. I did not know that. You put a lot of info and research in this video, thank you!
Thanks for sharing, Richard! Quite a nice topical collection you have there! I wonder why they had stopped issuing world cup stamps recently until the last set? Hmm... Keep up the videos! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Lisa, I got the answer from an Argentine friend. Due to the economic downturn, Correo Argentino ceased paying FIFA copyright fees for issuing football-themed stamps after 2014, until they resumed in 2023 following Argentina's win. However, the copyright fees remain a significant cost for them, resulting in the purchase price of this stamp set at the Argentine post office being more than double its face value.
An excellent video Richard - really high quality research and presentation. Regarding the old album page of stamps stuck in with hinges. Personally, I would remove them if you want to incorporate them into your collection. Peel the hinges off the page and then, keeping the stamp face down, slowly peel the hinge off, keeping it flat against the stamp. If you think the hinge is stuck too much (which can happen if too much moisture was used), you can carefully trim the hinge off flush. The remaining bit of hinge stuck on the stamp won’t show when it’s mounted in a modern slip case like Hawid.
@@RichardPhilatelistIf you are lucky, they will be ‘old-style’ hinges. They are much wider than the new narrower (and much more fiddly) type. The old ones peeled off very easily, but the new ones tend to stick too much - especially if they’re on mint stamps.
I enjoyed your video. It was very informative. I hope you have a good day =)
Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Great video Richard, thanks👍👍

I have no idea about why they had stopped too😂

@@RichardPhilatelist Oh that makes sense! I never thought about copyright fees. Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for watching and thanks a lot for the tips. I will try.

Hi Richard, excellent video and well constructed as always. I am glad you got your "proper" stamps with Messi on them. The hyperinflation is scary!
Thanks a lot for watching. Yes, it is… I will continue to pay attention to Argentina’s situation.
Great video. Im not a big fan of football. But i like messi.
Thank you, Sara🙌
