Great episode - I really like when you share letters you receive from viewers. When I started collecting as a kid in the 1970’s my mentor was a philatelic traditionalist so I learned a lot about US and Western European philately so I really appreciate the way you showcase world wide philately. There is so much out there to enjoy.

*It often takes the Mrs. to bring budget reality into such ambitious projects as Exploring Stamps!*
👍 😉
Yep, Laura is always there with the reality check 😅
Don't I know it. I can't go to the Chicago show next month because our new house closes that week (yeah, like the house wouldn't be there when I get back).😁
I am still pinching myself! I can’t believe the stamps I sent made it in the video!! I am so glad you like them as much as I do! Laura’s cameo was great, I am still so excited for season 4! I think you could film in front of a blank background and talk and we would all still watch your videos. I love how sending potatoes in the mail is a thing, that is so funny!
Thanks for the shoutout Graham! I'm honored to be in your video, and I'm very glad you like the print!!
Thanks Jack!! It is just simply perfect 😊🦏.
I am moorthy, living in Montreal. I have re-started collecting in Jan 2021. Love your vedios! They made my hobby more interesting!
I hadnt been in here for nearly a year and I have been binging watching all day today.. amazing work
Welcome back to the channel!! Glad you are enjoying the last years worth of vids, thanks for watching 😊
So many different stamps from around the world we can all learn more from each other 😎👍🇦🇺
Absolutely true, 😊 thanks for watching Mark.
I'm working my way through all of your programs and can't tell you how much I am enjoying them!
Glad you are enjoying them, Nyle. Thanks so much for watching!
Those Revenue Stamps are awesome. I've recently started having great interest in Back of the Book Stamps such as Revenues.
Some Revenue Stamps are the most beautiful and interesting stamp types in all of philately.
They sure are, even the new bright green/pink recent revenues are something worth admiring. They all had a purpose and they are quite something to look at.
I got a mention from Graham, a YouTubber that I have come to have a lot of respect for. Graham, you made my day!
Thanks Lawrence, your letter was a wonderful surprise. 😊
Oh wow... 40 minutes joy i really enjoyed it.... Thank you
Glad you enjoyed all 40 minutes 😊. Thanks for watching
Wow. Superb video as usual. Made me sit and watch. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Great episode! Thanks for continuing #philately and bringing out a new season of Exploring Stamps. I am always learning from you.
You are so welcome! I think that running both shows at the same time would be interesting and probably more fun. Thanks for watching 😊
Another fabulous #philately episode. it was great pleasure for me that u finally received the letter I hope u like it ☺️ best regards and greetings 🙂😊
Thanks again!!! It was such a pleasure to receive it 😊
Exploring Stamps my pleasure 😇
I have to admit, I'm a little jealous of all the cool modern postage stamps you receive in your mail! Great episode Graham!
More Laura! :) Another wonderful video. Thank you, Graham!
I'm still trying to get her to host one of the episodes... more Laura to come 😊
She's a peach, for sure!
Another great video- I love a good Cinderella stamp story! Those stamps JNF overprint stamps are too cool.
Also looking forward to watching Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller now. 👏👏
Gotta love them Cinderella stories. YES definitely watch the classic Tommy Tricker... its a bit of a dated movie, but it was a fun one for its time.
Fun and informative as always ... your correct pronunciation of "Pakistan, Afganistan..." I am sure is adding to
your appeal with collectors from that region. Well done!
It was interesting to know about revenue stamps. I live in Kolkata, here in the 70's I believe, some sort of revenue had to be paid for keeping a radio, or a TV. The person having a radio/tv had to get himself registered and pay through stamps. Special type of stamps were issued for the purpose. Stamps were fixed on the book of registration. The owner of the radio/tv must have the book of registration with him and get it stamped at regular interval of time with the required fees.
Graham, you're the best! Another excellent episode of Exploring Stamps. Working to mail you a flip flop of mine... Cheers! Reg 📬
😊 Thank you, glad you enjoyed the episode Reg. Ill keep a look out for your flip flop 🩴
Another great video! One of your future videos should include an interview with your mail carrier.
Great idea! I think Rodney is camera shy, but I will have to ask him. 😊
Another jam-packed 40 minutes of #Philately, thanks Graham :)
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊. thanks for watching Mark!
Not TikTok, but I have been thinking about making a Philatelic TH-cam channel for quite some time now... I'm already doing a bit research and writing down words so who knows 🥴
Do it!! Let us all know when you launch your philatelic TH-cam channel 😊
I so much appreciate your enthusiasm for the hobby. In addition, I love learning and philately so much fills that desire along with the research. You and your channel are just awsome !
Its really nice to watch #exploringstamps as you share tons of new things.
Just attended Minnesota Stamp Expo two weeks ago - so good to be amongst other collectors!!
🙌excellent!! I’m jealous, it must have been amazing
I imagine the mail clerk thinking, "What's with this guy and all the flip-flops?"
🤣 I imagine that they are not too happy. The clerks at my post office don’t seem to be having a good time.
They are thongs…
I thought thongs are some threads worn as panties? I get confused 🤔
Flip flops in Dutch are called teenslippers 🩴
@@erikmulder2574 they are thongs in Australia…
🤣🤣🤣
Love your videos. My plan is to draw and paint my own stamps on canvas and you've certainly given me some serious inspiration about what makes an interesting stamp. Best to you and yours
Wonderful! A canvas is a terrific way to put the art from postage stamps on display. Thank you for watching 😊
This one was a doosey! I have many international stamps that I need to explore. I have been mostly concentrating on Early American, British Empire, and the rest of Europe. This episode has inspired me to delve into the Middle Eastern region and Africa.
Another great video Graham. Shame that the boss has tied the purse strings but I’m sure you will manage to cut them. You have been sent some very nice stamps there and love the rhino print. All the best (also) Graham
Thank you sir! 😊. Yes the boss has the strings tied, but she is persuadable... working on a plan now!
That was brilliant -- made me smile the whole way through.
😊 Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for another wonderful video, I love to see you open your post... Jackson looks wonderful on the wall :)
Thank you Karen, glad you enjoyed it. Jackson fits perfectly in the room 🦏😊
This is my favorite channel ever
You are way too kind G, 😊. Thanks for watching!!
Fantastic video!!! I like this long format videos!!! And many thanks for your letter!! I appreciate it!! 😊
Love the video! Really enjoy you going through all the fan mail!
Thanks Mallard!! 😊. Glad you enjoy it.
I thoroughly enjoy & appreciate your post. Very fascinating video. I collect Stamp. Keep up your work. Take care.🙏
Thank you kindly, glad that you enjoyed the video. thanks for watching 😊
Another great video. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
haha! my mail is in! thank you Graham!
BTW - your letter has arrived, thank you, again :)
Fantastic! Glad it arrived, thanks again for the wonderful stamps 😊
Graham, as always, I enjoyed watching your new video. Always learning something new. I am glad that you got the pair of flip flops I've sent you. If you open the packages, you'll see that there is a message on the edges of the flip flops. You are correct, they are unused. Thank you for all you do to keep this hobby alive in the digital world.
Thanks Banu 😊🙏. Yes I was able to read the wonderful note, and the international stamps! Such a bonus.
"You don't need an expensive stamp or expensive collection to really enjoy and learn from the hobby." Well said and so true. Thanks for the new post and for reaffirming my small and inexpensive collection is "worth" something. And being from Nova Scotia, I love the new Bluenose stamps. The new issue is beautiful. How does one go about finding sources for inexpensive worldwide stamps? I would love to find a couple of reliable sources to order from.
Absolutely! All of our collections are worth SO much. There is so much to enjoy in this wonderful hobby. For worldwide stamps I primarily use Hipstamp.com and eBay. I also shop from the issuing postal company when new issues are released.
@@ExploringStamps thanks for info. and keep up the great work!
join a stamp trading site. usually people trade 1:1. they list wants, what they have to trade. then you do the deal. Enjoy!
"You don't need an expensive stamp..." No, but the airfare might run you some bucks.
I, as usual, thoroughly enjoyed your #philately.
You mentioned about visiting a tropical island -I’ll suggest you and Laura to visit us in Sri Lanka once a pandemic travel restrictions are over. It’s a wonderful place to explore and who knows you’ll find a Dull Rose 😀.
Take care!
Its amazing how fast 40 minutes can go. Thanks for another great video, I love Jackson on the wall!
Thanks Peter! Glad you enjoyed the video, Jackson is awesome on the wall. 🦏
Thanks again Graham! Always fun and interesting! I vote for a travel budget! I'm sure a patreon account can reach your goals! Best regards, Wayne Augustine, Stamp accumulator.
Thanks Wayne!! Glad you enjoyed it... I'll have to look at what options I have for a travel budget 😉
Laura is very right. Traveling is risky in current circumstances and we need you for lot more decades to come to promote the hobby. ;)
Sigh... I agree. 🙁... .no traveling unless things improve.
I like your passion for the hobby,
It’s the same as mine for early baseball cards.
I was recently given the family collect of stamps that my great grandfather started way back when.
I never understood the hobby and now regret missing all the years I should have been collecting.
I finally get what is so appealing about it.
It is a Beautiful hobby and I think of it as collecting mini art peaces and find just as art that some stamps just appeal to me regardless of its value though I do hunt the bigger valued ones while building the collection.
Thank You..Graham..
You are very welcome, thank you for watching 😊
That one was obvious Graham, Laura wants more of your time dedicated to her and she wants a new dress ;-)
So bring her to London and visit Harrods and Liberties
Okay deal, I have flights booked for London....😅 fingers crossed that we will be able to make it.
I wait till the last moment to book for London. Currently we can travel but have to test before the flight and again at arrival.
Although vaccinated I still can get the virus. No issue to test before the flight but at arrival again is a risk, when that turns out to be positive it will get very pricey with a 10 days stay in an isolated hotel.
That is subject to change though, so lets wait
Another great video! As Ilive in Nederlands I was surprised that there are some more postal companies aside Post NL.
It was a surprise to me as well, we both learned something 😊
Graham, great video, as usual.
Many thanks David, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Awesome Rhino Stamp on Canvas!
I love it! 🦏 😊
Cool video !
Thank you 😊
Hey Graham, great video as usual. I have moved. I have not watched your videos for a while. I came back to France...I brought all my collection with me, and it is finally here. Lucky me, I only collect two countries, and not everything. China and Hong-Kong) Remember me? Great video as usual. Until next time, David Colombier-Barban.
What an interesting and fascinating video this is, Graham - one of your best. I really do hope that you manage to get to the London Stampex in September/October. I already have a pass to go on Thursday 30 September and it would be a great honour and joy to meet you in person. UK is now accepting travellers from USA so let's hope that the reverse is in operation by then so that Brits can freely travel to the US. Jackson looks quite at home where you have out him ! Best wishes to you and Laura and stay safe.
Very interesting episode. The Pakistan letter is stunning besides all you showed here. Thank you.
Thank you Oliver, it sure is a stunning cover! Glad you found it interesting 😊
I have a Shakespeare stamp in my collection it's over 400 years old ,I had buy some old books and got some new stamps out of it ,I would love to send you a picture of it maybe you can hopefully tell me more about it, thanks for teaching me a lot about stamps.
Fantastic!!...a season 4!
and $11+ million a good sign.
Enjoyed the fan mail, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes 11+ million is indeed a good sign 💰😊
WOW! $12 million….it’s a crazy world we live in. I love it!
It sure is!💰💰💰 😊
Thanks Graham , appreciate the research you put in - makes the episodes very interesting. Thinking out aloud .. could # Philately be a medium that philatelists could use to exchange stamps. ? Would be fun way of making new friends, and sharing stamps . Look forward to the next season ..
The flip-flops in mail is hilarious,just imagining how it got into mail box
😅 I imagine the postal clerks weren't too amused. Thanks for watching Ananya!
I was waiting for you to get a flip flop in the mail 😂
Me too
And I have a feeling that there are more waiting for me in my PO box 😅
@@ExploringStamps I going to send you something soon .
Not a slip slop? Or slops
@Jacob Sladek another name for flops
Graham - how generous your viewers are! A bit envious.
I sent you only one stamp - from Ross Diplomacy - that you may enjoy. Hope you got it.
They are indeed very generous! Yes I picked up some mail earlier this week that I am yet to go through, but I think I saw something from you, looking forward to checking it out 😊
It's cool to have a piece of Sawakin in your hands; a royal city, slave trading hub, trading port, abandoned ruins, all the crazy stuff that went on, one part of its history was a mail clerk cancelling a stamp, and now you have it.
It gives me goosebumps when thinking about it like that. 😍
GREAT. those caps were just the way to show your green eyes, Graham. Were heading for a severe heatwave here in Greece to 45dC [113] at the weekend.
Thanks for tuning in again, Roger 😊.... Stay cool during the heatwave!!
The 1929 Bluenose is one of those stamps which makes me gasp aloud. 😍
Same!! 😊
Bob is a delightful fellow. Way to go on the successful potato delivery! 🥔
He sure is! That is my first successful potato delivery 🥔
Salut , de retour , salutation de France .
Merci, salutations des Etats-Unis 👋😊
Another fine video,most enjoyable,was wondering will you be doing a episode about stamp booklets which is my personal favourite collecting medium.
Finally watched Charade last night (I’ve been pestering my partner to watch it with me since I saw the episode where you first mentioned it). Let’s see how long it is before I can get him to watch Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller with me 🤪
Very interesting topic! Thank you for making this video.
You are very welcome, thank you for watching 😊
the legend has come again!!!!!!
Yep, Laura showed up for another video 🙌
Excellent episode...........unsurprisingly!
Thank you Louis! 😊
HOW FUNNY, MY NICK NAME IS CHANCLA, WHICH MEANS FLIP FLOP IN ENGLISH.. I WEAR NOTHING BUT FLIP FLOPS EVEN IN WINTER.. IM NOW GETTING INTO THIS STAMP HOBBY.
😊 welcome to the hobby, Chancla 🩴 🙌
Thanks Graham, another enjoyable one!!
Thanks Tom, glad you enjoyed it 😊
I enjoy this and all your episodes.
Thank you 😊
As always awesome. So what your saying is, you won't be buying an authentic inverted Jenny anytime soon...🤣
Lol not anytime soon, I learned my lesson after buying a 1980 Chinese red monkey stamp 😅
FYI, I just purchased the new Bluenose stamps from Canada post. They are a beautiful tribute to the original stamp and the ship. Also, after watching many of your videos from the beginning, I finally joined the APS a few months back. Don't know why it took me so long, but it's been a great resource. I saw your interview on the on-line email version. Was a great read. Thanks for responding Graham...😊
I wonder if there are stamps out there somewhere that have a woman cracking a whip?? I think that is gonna be top of my list to collect now. :)
Let me know if you find such a stamp 😂
S&G spewing that their investment in the Magenta has already lost some of its luster now that it isn't the highest priced philatelic item anymore.
I really enjoyed the video. Have a good day =)
Thank you David!! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Replace those cut stamps with my arm and we have had a similar experience with drones, lol.
Looks like your book 📚 collection increased significantly
It is 🙌😊
I'm only an hour away in the Philadelphia suburbs!
Howdy Neighbor! 👋
@@ExploringStamps Next time you’re near Philadelphia, let’s do lunch.

*Yes, philately can enrich lives by spawning curiosity and research!!*
Absolutely!!
Hello sir I am a stamp collector from India Assam
Graham beck could you please make a video on Malaysian stamps
I also have a question about a stamp that I think may be my favorite but can’t find not one for sale on EBay or any references on line.
I believe it may be worth $300 as a single.
The stamp Is a south Australian-New South Wales and a beautiful light blue 50 shilling duty stamp.I know about the name change .
Is this correct and would the value be more if two are still connected?
What’s also great about the stamp is that it’s stamped as a New South Wales along with old the South African on top on mint unused with gum still intact.
Can you tell me about it?
Graham, I would like you to note how the first president of India's eyes seems to peek through the letters somewhat ominously, or maybe just suspiciously.
It’s like he is wearing a mask over his eyes 🦸🏼♂️ 😆
You told about the liquid to check the watermark of a stamp,I want to know the name of the liquid.Thanks in advance.
You can use watermark fluid, or lighter fluid.
Awesome :-)
красивые марки спасибо за обзор
Спасибо 😊
Hi I wonder if you can help me with two questions when people say very fine what that means? And when they say unused but it have stamps marks on it , what that means?
I just wait for your episode
Nike! Chia sẻ rất hay!
Do you have merchs to sell? I want that mug.
I do! You can find it here: exploring-stamps.creator-spring.com/

It tasted like a used flip flop. nah it was okay 😅
