Woo hoo! He's baaaack! Definitely a brand new journey (and lest costly) journey in the world of stamps awaits! :D
Great to see you highlighted in the video -- you've absolutely earned it
@@physics2112 Thanks! Look for forward to more videos from Graham! You never know where he'll end up. haha
Amen to less costly! Haha thanks James, more to come!!
I think you should keep posting this new kind of video, as a weekly-based (like stamp news or updates). But please don’t quit your traditional season’s style episodes, they are unbeatable!!!
Thank you Joao, let's see where the videos take us 😃
As always, your videos are fun to watch and informative. Nice to see Laura (the power behind the throne, no doubt). Thanks for sharing the great links in the description.
Thanks Leslie, yes Laura definitely occupies the throne... If I'm lucky she will let me make more videos :) More to come!
Having watched all of your videos I am very excited by your new format. Will look forward to how the channel develops. Thanks Graham.
Thank you Phil! Looking forward to seeing where this takes us :). Thanks for watching.
I have only found you on TH-cam about 3 weeks ago so have binge-watch all your seasons and another video, the information you give is priceless I love your this video and great to see your wife, the new format works for me keep up the great work
Oh wow! Thank you Ross, glad that you enjoyed the videos so far. lets see where the new series takes us :). Thanks for watching! 😊
@@ExploringStamps can not wait
I love your work!!! Great job!!! This year marks my 40th year as a stamp collector/philatelist and would NEVER give it up!! (I don't even have to or need to!!) :) :)
PS. You're lucky to have Laura as your wife!!! She seems like a very sweet and incredibly nice gentlelady!! :) :)
That is awesome! Congrats on the milestone, undoubtedly the coolest hobby to keep up with and enjoy. And yes 😃 I am very lucky to have Laura, thank you so much!!
Love this new stuff
Great! Thank you Colton :)
Great job Graham! Love your new office area. You've made the space very nice & shout out to Laura, who keeps your stats correct. Good job Laura. I'm so happy & glad I found you...I'm learning so much & can't wait to start my philatelic journey!
Please keep em coming. I do so enjoy your podcasts. The list of my favorites are way to long to mention here. You say Exploring Stamps, I say bravo. Looking forward to your new venture.
I like your new setup Graham, it looks super cool! I’ll miss the “Exploring” videos, but I can totally understand the travel aspect of it would be a heavy burden. I hope you can still do occasional videos like that, just with digital travel (like seeing the Great Wall outside your window). I like the vlog pilot, and I hope you can do some interviews or collaborations with other philatelists. Thanks again for getting me into the hobby! :)
Well the pandemic won’t last forever
Thank you Patrick! Totally looking to do some interviews and collaboration with others. This format will definitely allow it :). Thanks for watching!
I agree with Patrick, Graham, Maybe once in awhile you could “travel” somewhere “outside your window”...you’re good at camera tricks; you could make it happen, I’m sure,
Fantastic video - looking forward to watching more. So nice to see Laura.
Thank you!! Your videos are amazing! Please continue doing them. Greetings from Argentina!
Thank you for the video, cant wait to see more of your videos. Speaking of which i was inspired by your stamps video talking and explaining about stamps that you found and me and my friend started a facebook group where the members are encouraged to write a short paragraph talking about stamps that we found and it has been a lot of fun. I recently wrote a long post talking about New York governor Dewitt Clinton and the revenue stamps featuring his portaits 😁😁
Whats the name of the group? I wanna check it out! :)
Wonderful! Yes please share with us the group so that we can all check it out ☺️ Thanks for watching!
I for one will miss your Exploring Stamps series, they are the best videos on TH-cam (after mine of course :-). I do like your idea for the vlog and getting people more involved. My request would be to see how you organize your collection.
Thanks Jeff 😃. Let's see where the videos take us.
Awesome new show. I am home now so I can get back into my stamps and go through the ones I picked up over seas
Glad you are back home safely Aaron, time to give some TLC to that collection you have been waiting to climb back into :)
I have appreciated your videos since the first season. I'm a big fan and like so many here believe that the format in the Exploring Stamps video was secondary to your personality and presentation. Glad you'e giving something new a try, I will definitely be among many people watching.
Excellent, informative, engaging, entertaining, professionally presented, superb photos, promotes philately! You are “the Mister Rogers” of Philately! Kudos to you and to your wife, Laura. Keep up the stellar work! All the best from a stamp collector of 68 years & three (3) Silver-Bronze Literary Awards-recipient at the World Stamp Show NY 2016. Randy Moore, SR.
Wow thank you Randy! No way I can take the title of Mr. Rogers of philately, that's a big title! :D Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
I also like this type of blog videos...
Do a mix between vlogs and your previous style
Perhaps I will try that, lets see where the videos take us :) Thanks for watching!
The new format looks good, and welcome Laura. Looking forward! 👍
Your channel deserves way more subs.
Terrific debut vlog. Nice to see your wife!
Thanks Louis, much appreciated 😃
Welcome back!!
Woohoo, thanks Arul!
Love all of your vids...I am new to stamp collecting (not counting collecting stamps as a kid with my dad). I really hope you continue.
Thank you! More videos are to come, glad you are back in the hobby, welcome 😊
Loyal subscriber and standing by for further videos.
Thank you Aaron, more to come :)
I was really looking forward to the next season of Exploring Stamps. Hope your new format does well.
I hope so too! Thanks for watching :)
Great program! Thanks! Cheers to Laura too!
Thank you Nyle ☺️
Love it, great idea and well executed. I'm a big fan.
I'll miss the exploring videos, they were fascinating. I always wondered how you could afford to put so much time, money and effort into those videos. The vlog pilot was great, looking forward to see more like it.
Thank you Kristiaan, 😆 yeah totally pushed it with the time money and effort, but lets see where this series takes us. More to come!
Just wanted to say a thank you Graham for your wonderful Exploring stamps channel and your new Vlog, and look forward to viewing future vlog videos as you will have plenty to talk about with stamps. Just rediscovered stamp collecting last year and your videos make it interesting, educational and entertaining.
More than 15 thousand subs now!
Woohoo!! :D
Your new setup looks amazing!
Agreed. I especially like Bluenose!
That Bluenose really dominates the space
Thank you... It seems that the Bluenose is particularly popular 😉
@@ExploringStamps Every country needs that one stamp that dominates.. artistically, historically but is still available.. not a z grill or one cent magenta locked away to forever be a hole. In fact that's an interesting topic.. that one stamp each country has that strikes a deep feeling in collectors.
Looks great!
Looking forward for the series. Good luck with the making!
Thanks! More to come :)
Hi Graham,
A lovely new video, a pilot you call it, and I am curious where you go with it.
I would love you to have some stamp chats on a topic (zoom) and get that on youtube.
A chat like that can be informal and you have direct contact to your viewers.
I do have the virtual stampshow from PTS in my agenda, however have to work during the day.
But I really was involved in the virtual stampshow from the APS and enjoyed it enormously.
Excellent, as always.
Philatelovely is one super account to follow in Twitter.
Thank you Juan, Philatelovely is a fav of mine, glad you follow him as well :)
YIPPYYYYYYYY very informative .... Digestable chunks of knowledge...an amuse-bouche If you will.....leaving you hungry and looking forward to Getting your teeth into your collection
...till your flatai-full !!!! ... nice to have another dimension to our hobby because as we all know we get our core knowledge from books and magazines....
😆 LOVE it!!
Thanks so much for the kind words, lets see where the series takes us. Thanks for watching!
Extremely enjoyable. Thanks
Hello, Graham! I am a new collector and I just LOVED your original format. It really helped me to learn a lot in a short period of time (I basically have watched all of your videos in just the last few weeks). I am equally as excited about, and looking forward to, this new format. All the best!
I’ve watched most of your videos mate and you really were the pioneer of TH-cam Stamp Collecting and I think taking things this Philately Route is an excellent Develpoment - Please proceed as you suggest and I’m sure it will be a famous success. BTW I can really recommend the Royal Philatelic Society London and if you were interested in joining let me know. Are you an APS Member? That looks a great Membership too.
Absolutely and thank you John. Yes I am currently an APS member (I really enjoy being a part of the society). I will look at RPSL in the future, definitely. Thank you for watching and glad you like the content :)
The room makeover looks fantastic and I’m very excited by the new direction! You’ve been a pioneer of online philately, Graham, and I could think of no one better to show the rest of us the way. Good on you for knowing when to press pause on the old-style videos. Sometimes, projects started for love can quickly become obligation, and then the love is gone. Luckily for us all, you still have the spark in your eyes. Onward and upward!
Thank you so much Punk! Your words are too kind, and Im glad you approve of the new direction. I look forward to visiting your virtual booth at Stampex. :D
great that you back your and thanks for such great info!
Thank you, glad to have you watching 😊
Excellent as usual, great tutorial
Thank you Michael :)
Very nice indeed. I have a small childhood world collection, and now am in my 50s. I look forward to your videos. Cheers, Raj from Richmond VA, USA.
Loved the episode!! It was amazing!! Love the idea!! Please do continue ahead with this project!!
I think I will :). Thanks Nirav :)
Hi graham. I’m so happy to see you back. I’m a big fan and have watched every episode of Exploring Stamps. I was sad when you said you wouldn’t be doing another series, but completely understood. I look forward to more of these, and anything else philatelic you post or recommend. Happy to meet your wife/camerawoman, Laura.
You have taken philately to new heights on TH-cam hats off to u it’s great pleasure enjoying and watching your videos 😊👍
Thank you so much 😀. Glad that you enjoy the channel!
I like the new video! Very good, my philatelic friend!
Made my debut in your video. Yay!!!🤪👏
Love everything that you do! The Romania episode was especially important to me since I’ve been trough that revolution as a child and it made me tear up. I would love to see you do an episode about the us federal duck stamp program.
Thank you! The Romanian episode was an emotional one to research and produce, I found it to be an incredible event to learn about. Thanks for watching :)
Hi Graham & Laura! You're a natural Graham! I've been watching your channel for some time now and have found them very informative and entertaining! I've recently retired and being confined to quarters because of Covid-19 I've needed something to do, so I've just started a new Facebook Group Page called SnailMail Stamp Clubs. I am starting new on-line postage stamp collecting clubs around the world. We've had great response so far. Would love to have you as a Guest Speaker at a meeting when you have time! We invite all who are interested to like our page and we'll send you membership information and a membership application! Thank you!
Linked you into our Facebook listing. :)
@@thedigitalphilatelist Thank you!
~ Wonderful pilot, Graham!! There IS so much you can cover even at home and you already did share much info in this first, new vid. I like the google fillers, haha! I too google a lot & learn definitions there; sadly, gone are the days of the dictionary books. Speaking of ancient, those dinosaur stamps are awesome & it’s cool to learn about the “blackline masters” (teacher term...I already forgot the name of those “pre-stamps”). Great job! Nice new room & stamp canvases you had made! Love the navy blue walls! (blues are my fave colors)! Fun fact: The longest stamp was issued on my birthday!! Cool, cool! :D Saw the turquoise mug in ad on the side...darn, I missed it when I ordered the black one. Maybe I’ll have to get it too! I wore the ES tee the other day & it was comfy. :) Ok, I should stop now...lol
Sounds like a lot of fun!
It is :). Thanks Karen!
Great, keep up the good work
Thanks, will do! :)
Yayaya!!! Welcome back :)
Yes I agree so happy for new content
Thank you Alex :)
I enjoy getting lost in your (very entertaining) stamp videos
Thanks Mark :). Glad you enjoy the channel!
That was enjoyable. Like having a friendly chat with a good mate. PS: Have you been watching the England/Pakistan test series?
Ive been seeing the highlights, now the T20s have to avoid the rain...fingers crossed. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
@@ExploringStamps HA! In addition to stamps, you've got me watching cricket highlights, too!
As usual, watching your videos makes my day. I love the Exploring ones but also recognize it's hard to travel these days and it's not cheap. Having said that, love this option and looking forward more from you.
Glad you like them! Thank you for your support Sylvain, more to come 😊
Hi Graham, I loved this format and would love to see more coming. Thanks to you I've found some great accounts to follow 👍
Glad to hear! Thanks so much for watching ☺️
Great video. Always enjoy watching. Thank you.
I will miss your old format. They were the best stamp videos on YT, but am very glad you are still making content. Cheers from Australia!!!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching Jason 😃
Hi Graham. Thank you the oppertunity to watch your videos, last year inherited a huge family stamp collection from all over the world Oh boy I’m in 70,s retired business woman who still seeks challenges in life and I think I’ve learnt more about the world in the last 9 months than I had in 70yrs loving it have some fabulous stamps and covers so would love to share some with you and your viewers. Regards Diane Osborne New Zealand
Welcome from across the pond in Victoria! :) If you need some local help, check out the NZ Clubs here: thedigitalphilatelist.com/websites/websites-l-z/ Some may have Zoom meetings etc. :)
Great. As long as there is a lot of stamps and you presenting them, any format is great. Thank you for your efforts. Still hope for the exploring Stamps episodes once in a while as well.
Thank you Imtiaz, lets see where these videos take us, maybe I will be able to do the classic vids again at some point. Thanks for watching :)
Only Just discovered your channel & have liked all I've watched so far. This vlog eems like a really nice idea. It's almost like an old-fashioned fireside chat. Thanks & keep it up!
Ooo, a fireside chat... I like that :). Thanks for watching Gareth and I am glad that you like it!
I really like this new format too! Laid back and chill and lots of different stuff going on. Laura needs to let you get some trashy cereal though!
I'm passing this message along to Laura. There is nothing wrong with trashy cereal :D. Thanks for watching Mary, glad you like the new format!
Great new format, Graham. Love it. But, about that Hungarian dinosaur sheet. Was that really a signature, or a pen cancellation?
Ah, 🤔. Is not every pen cancellation technically a postman’s signature? 🤔
@@ExploringStamps postmen do make such initials to be a part of ones collection...
Excellent
I have neglected my collection because I've focused on getting space event covers signed by Astronauts, space scientists and engineers. I enjoy Postlandia site about post offices.
Stampex 2020 - thank you!
Cool !A new paradigm for Exploring Stamps. I'm looking forward to a ride into the future of stamp collecting.
Always very supportive Chai, I can't thank you enough....more to come!
I've inherited a huge collection. I have no one around that can help me.... so I'm starting my marathon of videos today. I hope I find out more about them. I might have a winner???.
could you leave a link to your videos , Thank you
We have a range of resources available to help you start out including links to dealers and stamp clubs like the American Philatelic Society! thedigitalphilatelist.com/
I hope so too! :). Happy Exploring!
@@ExploringStamps Thanks..... we shall see. It's overwhelming but now my new HOBBY.
I loved the original series that explored the story or history of a specific stamp, it is definitely what gets me excited about stamp collecting. It was cool when you went travelling around the world to show the sites depicted, but not necessary. If possible, a smaller segment that still focuses on understanding/explaining the decisions that made the stamps in the first place in the new format would be appreciated. Looking forward to the new series! Thanks for everything, I am always excited when I see a new video uploaded.
Great show new format
Thank you Bernardo :). Glad you like it!
I enjoyed your pilot video and I hope they continue. I have watch all your videos and like them very much . Your presentation and explanations are easy to listen to and informative. I have had an inherited stamp collection for about 50 years, but for 48 of those years, it had been in a cupboard!! I am working my way through the collection an adding to it all the time. (I am retired now!!) Good luck and best wishes
UK collector
Much appreciated! Sounds like you are working your way through a lovely project with the stamps, so much to learn and enjoy! Thanks for watching Stephen, more to come ☺️
Tis was a very good show and very enjoyable.. I will be waiting for your other future videos.
Thanks David, more to come :)
Hi Graham. Love your new direction here. From your recent APS talk I discovered just how many hours and hours it takes to make the Exploring Stamps videos, so I understand the new approach. I think it's a great move for bringing the worldwide stamp community together in an online forum. One suggestion: why not have a 'slot' in future videos for subscribers to send in their own 60 second videos on something in their collection? Maybe you could announce future themes in advance and get subscribers to share their short videos, social media stamp posts or even send you some items based on the theme which you could work into the video. Part of the fun would be seeing how you build the theme around contributions and partly to see if what has been submitted makes it into the final edit. I definitely want one of those Penny Black masks! Take care and best wishes!
Thank you Barry! You are thinking along the same lines as me... Lots of opportunity to do cool things like that. More to come 😊
Love, love, love the vlog. Highly informative as always, plus it covers more topics in a more conversational, down-to-earth fashion, which is nice for a change. It feels like we're getting to know you more as well, which is great for retaining viewership. Keep up your hard work--we appreciate it!
Ok just finished watching the whole thing. MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD this is amazing i like how you take the piss out of yourself and your wife keeps you in check ;p. Just talk and tell us about your stories of how you came across certain stamps etc... Awesome series. ANd you explain scenarios as they come up that's what real learning is about seize the moment. Incidental learning is the best it just happens when you talk about topics and has a better connection to being remembered!!! Love it man. Its such an easy and natural delivery. Thank you
Nice, I follow philatelovely in Twitter. used to upload some indian stamps in the Alphabetic Stamp Series.
Keep Uploading similar videos
I like the new format, not better or worse than the original, just different, in a good way. Actually the more I watch your videos the more inspired I am to make my own.
Thanks Paul! Yes definitely consider making some videos, it is a fun and rewarding experience, thanks for watching :)
Thanks for introducing me to the world of philately. Love the vlog.
Glad to have you in the philatelic community. Glad you like the vlog :)
Hello Graham, I very much like the new format where you can discuss a lot more about not only the stamps, but also about the blogs, communities and much more. However, could you please chip in some videos like in the older format? A bit of both would be even more exciting to have in my opinion.
Thank you Avik, glad you like the new format. Definitely something I will consider, lets see where this series takes us 😊. Thanks for the support.
Really enjoyed this presentation
Great! Thanks for watching Bryan :)
love the new videos! Keep up the good work buddy :)
Nice ! When I first saw the term 'Vlog' in the title I winced because it evoked a horrifying anticipation of being subjected to a rambling stream of consciousness replete with real time gaps in thought on full display. This was nicely structured and edited to present a coherent and entertaining piece, yes !
Just bought some mystery stamps from Philatelovely on Etsy. Can't wait to get them!
Wonderful! I am sure you will enjoy them :)
The editing is so good!
What software you use Graham?
Final Cut Pro :)
Thank you 😊
Exploringstamps was cool & wonderful, you gave a new meaning to philately and this new format would take it further. It will generate more people getting engaged in this royal hobby...now you have got an editor too,loura, to steer you in the right direction....
I wish you well to make some amazing videos🎥 and keep it up...
I like this new format and it is great seeing more interaction with the audience. I would love to see a fan mail video or something related to that.
Noted! Glad you like the new format 😃. Thanks for watching.
I'm totally digging the new vibe, the new direction, and of course the ice cream -- though I wouldn't get too close to any stamps with that popsicle potentially dripping everywhere :)
I learned that when filming with ice cream.... you have to film quickly! Add stamps and you have a pretty stressful situation. 😅. Glad you like the vibe, more to come!
I have so many stamps now that I’m coding my own site so I can upload info and images and then sort through my collection digitally.
That sounds great!! 😯 👍
More you, More Laura, More Stamps!!!
Really great video Graham. My Twitter is The Young Philatelist 😄
Just started following you. I will look forward to seeing tweets of your collection! :D
Following! Thanks William :)
This was good. But I will miss the traditional exploring videos, they were so great that I'm used to watch them over and over. Love to see your wife in this pilot. Please make her smile more often
I am looking forward to more episodes!
I think this was existing and a great turn on your channel Graham. With your ability to communicate this will help and guide old and new collectors in the world of #philately. Also the technical quality of your vlog/programs are excellent. (I guess you have had a look at P. McKinnon and the likes)
I look forward to the next episodes. And great to se you supporting wife Laura to. I guess she deserves a lot of thumbs up for getting the channel to the level it is today.
And I guess you (the two of you) will produce some episodes where you travel and share #philately the "old style" when it suits so.
Lot of thumbs up from Norway
Really interesting Graham, I'm very excited for the new direction that the channel is moving in!
Great! Thank you Oliver, I am excited as well :)
Finally, I can provide proof that stamp nerds always end up with the best looking and nicest women.
😆 #stampnerds are some of the coolest nerds out there!
Liked the new format. Keep going with it.
Will do Steven, glad you like the new format :)
hope to see more interactions. first day covers and stamps always fascinate me...
☺️ More to come! Thanks for watching.
Have enjoyed your previous shows as well as your new vlog. Informative with a good sense of humor. Keep up the fine work.
Thank you Mark! will do :)
@@ExploringStamps An interesting program could look at stamp inventory software, I have been using EzStamp from Softpro for a number of years now. You can download a free sample. Works very well for my needs. Probably others out there as well.
If you haven't already you should check out some of the online stamp forums, some of which have been around for many years. My favorites are StampoRama (stamporama.com), The Stamp Forum (thestampforum.boards.net/) and the Stamp Community Forum (www.stampcommunity.org/). Each has their own style and features but they are each full of helpful friendly knowledgeable people. There are no costs to membership.
I liked this new video. I would like you to talk more about more recent stamps like the stamps from Thailand and Hungary contain in the video. Congratulations!
Absolutely, the new format can talk about stamps that haven't even been released yet, the possibilities are endless! ☺️. Thanks for watching!
@@ExploringStamps Thank you very much for your attention
