    Great commentary, and some lovely stamps to look at on the way. These videos are much appreciated, the quality of content is always excellent. 👌

    Excellent videos -- one excellent point you made is that the value of a particular collection need not have one or two gems to ensure substantial worth, rather other factors come in - the area of collecting, degree of completion, and consistency of content. I have learned the difficulty of the last point - consistency- just trying to get a very humble goal (it seems) all plate numbers of the 2 cent US Navajo Jewelry stamp and for some plate numbers, all positions. It has been tough and I learned one of the plate numbers is considered semi-scarce.

    Excellent presentation. I have collected quite few of these old stock books and have quite a lot of work to do to lay them out properly in order as presented. I prefer the very old stamps . Thank you for shareing 🌞

    Great video. I learn a lot from these, and also sort of guide one where to go with your collection, especially as a relatively beginner collector. Thanks!

    Very nice video. There was one very important point mentioned there: "Sometimes the catalogue value does not reflect the current market value" - well, this is a huge problem for all of the less experienced collectors. Good to know that Stanley Gibbons is aware of it, however, it is surprising that you do not do anything against it. New catalogues are being made every year, but the real stamp value is not reflected there... Of course, I know, you are also a dealer and I fully understand the reason why the value of the stamps has never really been corrected in your catalogues. And to be fair, this is a problem of ALL catalogue issueres (Scott, Michel, Yvert...) Anyway, thank you for the video, very helpful for all unexperienced collectors. 👍

    Excellent and informative videos; most helpful. The only drawback for me was the inanely distracting music in the background. Was it really necessary? Surely the whole content of the video could have been presented without such audio-wallpaper!

    I’ve got a collection that’s over 60 years old according to the copyright on the album with lots of the stamps I’m seeing right now. What can I do about marketing them?

      Take them to a stamp auction house to see if they are of sufficient quality to sell as a complete collection. They only need to be worth about £100 for that to be the case. Collectors will then decide the actual value when they bid for it. It may be the case that the stamps are common and worth very little and unsuitable for sale but at least you don’t risk getting tripped off by an unscrupulous dealer.

    At the 5:00 minute mark you value the Falkland Islands Centenary set at 1000 pounds, but then turn around and sell those exact stamps on your website for 5,380 pounds. That's not making a small profit of 30% on the stamps for your time, effort and overhead, its theft. Your business model is unethical, and prays on people's ignorance. You should be educating them on what stamps they have, and telling them the true value of those stamps.

    • @stengrendon7143
      @stengrendon7143 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You have to take into account that those stamps have been mounted with hinges which will make a large difference in value.

    • @peterhugo2078

      The prices listed by SG for this set is for mounted mint stamps. Unmounted mint sets are worth considerably more, maybe + 50%. However the valuation of £1000 for the set is way off the mark and probably reflects what they would offer somebody trying to sell it to them. In auction, £2000 would be a likely realisation for the full set but the seller would have to pay around 20% commission taken off that. You could never buy that set fresh and lightly mounted mint for £1000 anywhere so the video is misleading at best.

    This question does not have anything to do with this video.. I'm wondering if you or any of your viewers have come across a hand stamp reading ANS'D on the back of any stamps.. The one specifically being a 19th century German stamp.. I'm guessing that it's an Authentication cert stamp,but I'm no expert!

    I am usually fascinated by every type of collecting, particularly historical stuff, but this seems so unbelievably dull and pointless I can't wrap my head around it.

    I don't understand why ,the probably the most important Phelentist Company on the planet,ignore Phelentist World wide.Its not just about selling Stamps , you're not communicating with the rest of the Worlds collectors.Why aren't you on this Channel ,Weekly not Yearly if that.Simple step up to the Plate and take the lead in Stamp Collecting.
