Love the collection. I have a friend who has a complete Canadian collection (used) from 1886 onwards. Since the early 1980s he buys the stamps and mails them to himself. He also has a complete Australian collection built through penpals and trading. Takes up a lot of room in his house
I loved seeing your storage system! Thanks for sharing it. I've been collecting for nearly 50 years off and on, but would still consider myself an advanced beginner. SO much to learn!
Yea there’s way too much to learn and just trying to keep up with all the new issues! In early spring I have to put stamps down till about fall because I’m so busy with grapes and blueberries and when I pick it back up, gosh I’m so behind in a fun way though!
Stamps fit into my winter plans as well. I'm in NH, so Dec thru March involves first the willows for the local florist, cuttings, charcoal, then maple tapping. When I'm not doing that or tending the animals, I get to play with stamps. Yay!@@adamhuffman3354
Hi Silk. Love your Canadian stamps. BTW I have a 17c jacques carrier if you want to buy. I also have 2 seals too. Best regards to you and your family. Keep away from sharks. from james in Scotland.
Great video as usual. Ok please start a zoom stamp club I will be your first member. Live in small town in Pa no clubs near me. I think for around 160.00 a year you can have unlimited zooms. Divided it up with members and add to dues. Just think of the fun we could have and the stamps we could swap.
I think my youtube channel's the best I can do for now, between work and family, there's only so many hours for stamps... always glad to see you join the convo tho!
Saw a great bar type precancel in your Canadian collection. The Edward 7 cent (cat 92). Greater value than you gave it. My 1997 Standard Precancel catalog has it at $150 CDN. Thanks for sharing on your videos. You have helped bring back my love for stamps. Cheers,
Thanks for sharing some of your Canadian stamp collection. Canada is also one of the too many countries and topics I'm collecting. Yep, the "Blue Nose" is one of the worlds greatest postage stamp designs. Keep having fun with your stamp hobby !
Such a very neat storage system I’m honestly in need of something similar. I don’t really have enough good condition albums/stock books I’m planning to use as an album for my whole collection. Bought two new stock books recently, one for Bolivia (and maybe some other South American countries) and the other will be for modern Germany. But then I realized I need way more space for Germany (West, Old Germany (states and thurn and taxis and such) DDR, Berlin, Zones after the war all don’t have a dedicated album yet...) and also I need an stockbook to be used as an actual stockbook to hold duplicates and not just as an album 😅 And then I decided to bid on another auction with even more German stamps. Also I bought some kiloware when we were in Germany for a bit a while ago. (Live a five minutes drive from the border) Also still need to order my poor neglected Netherlands collection, if there’s stamps belonging to that collection that still have hinges to be freed from so I can’t start yet until I’ve fixed that lmao. I keep creating more work for myself. Have these and so many other stamp related projects going on. Just came back from vacation, and I’m happy to be getting back to stamps. Hopefully I’ll be getting many things done before college starts again and I’m moving into my own place.
Good to hear from you! And I'm in the same boat... working a lot on my USA collection lately, but I'm still adding to my others... so many fun projects! I really want to share my GB collection but it's not quite in the shape I want it yet... all in due time. :)
A very nice collection, and a very methodical approach to storing them. Thank you for sharing this, and i really am looking forward to seeing your next video. Terry from Devon uk 🙂
Great assortment of Canadian stamps. Compared with my own collection, it´s very different because I only got mint issues between 1910 and 1973. And I must confess that the Canadians are more or less an addition to my collection of U.S. stamps. Your classic and semi-classic section is a stunner ! 👌Keep it up, and see you on the next one. Greets from GER, U.
Beautiful Canadian stamps …I collect Newfoundland stamps and enjoy them very much…if you can say understand then you can say Newfoundland lol…cheers from the Rock 👍
I love your storage system, and the meticulous ordered way you do it in. Mostly no chaotic boxes and boxes and large envelopes, and glassine envelopes etc. with random unsorted mixes of stamps in your collection, I suppose. Thanks for sharing!🙂
As a Canadian, and a Canadian collector, I whole heartedly agree that Canadian stamps are beautiful! Thank you for sharing yours! Also, I hope you have a nice 158 Bluenose, our best stamp ever,IMHO.
It is very nice. I commented before we got to that point in the video. I am fortunate enough to have a lovely mint (hinged albeit) copy and it is so very nice.
No worries! Appreciate your enthusiasm, and encouragement... when I find the right (used) album I'm going to focus in more on Canadian stamps... so much fun to collect...
Love it! Old Canada has some great designs. My subspecialty is around rarity cancel markings - looking for specific little towns and such….a nice clear cancel from a tiny little post office will also up the value…and I love the idea of some local postmaster who would have hand cancelled all the mail from their post! That doesn’t happen anymore! I am particularly fascinated by remote or northern Canada cancels! Even more rare!
Good afternoon Silk we were lucky to learn history,art culture and in my kids eyes it's all junk and not a investment in there future😂😂But they will get to the enjoyment of collecting one day😁😁😁
Some nice stamps but Davo is somewhat out of my price range.I managed to purchase a large collection of Canada a year or so ago and expanded my Specialized Scott's albums to 2001. I traded an older US specialized catalogue with a friend for a new unitrade in order to find out about the early Queens and colors. alas haven't finished my other projects in order to move and or see what I want to swap to my albums yet. so good luck with your Davo venture.
Me too, honestly... I'm waiting for a good used one to come along... does the new Unitrade have the different colors for the later Queens? The 2017 just has the earlier ones, was a bit disappointed
well mine has some color and varieties on the maple leaf issues. not much on the color issues.does mention color variations due to paper changes at the front. of unitrade
A sports cards store has the top loaders... I think Target/Walmart does too... and I made a template for their cards in Excel and had Kinkos print and cut them to size.
Not sure... though I know it's recommended to swap out stockbooks after awhile, so probably best to be on the safe side and find a new home for your collection.
So beautiful! You're my fave stamp guy on the web!

You and I have similar seasons... I'm a gardener too, though small enough still where I can get my stampin in in the spring!@@adamhuffman3354

Great catch, thanks! Happy collecting!!
Interesting! I also use those baseball card sheets just wish they made them thicker. A good way to organize!
Agreed! I've started using top loaders for my most expensive stamps too... gives them an added sense of 'this is something really special'...
Nice organization system - appreciate you sharing. I love Canadian stamps too. Beautiful engraving, and some adorable pictures of younger royals.
You’re very passionate about your stamp collection. That’s so awesome.

I notable like how you've tipped in the bulk envelopes into the storage system. I have a file box full of them that I'm always sorting through.
A very nice collection, and a very methodical approach to storing them. Thank you for sharing this, and i really am looking forward to seeing your next video. Terry from Devon uk 🙂
I really appreciate your encouragement!
As a retired Mountie, I love those Mountie stamps.

As a Maritimer (Nova Scotia), I'm glad you like Canadian stamps! I enjoyed the tour of your collection.
I was hoping you'd see it! There are so many cool Canadian stamps...
Beautiful Canadian stamps …I collect Newfoundland stamps and enjoy them very much…if you can say understand then you can say Newfoundland lol…cheers from the Rock 👍
Another great video! I sat in on a recent North Toronto Stamp Club zoom session. I wish I lived closer…it seems like a great group.
Thanks for watching! I always look forward to your insights... a zoom Stamp Club, great idea...

Hmmm... you might have given me an idea for a future video... my drawers, shoeboxes, and envelopes full of random stamps that I keep hidden away... :)
@@silkontheweb 😆😆I can almost not imagine that!

Such a great stamp... one day, hopefully, I'll have a mint, but my used is one of my favorites stamps in my entire collection
It is very nice. I commented before we got to that point in the video. I am fortunate enough to have a lovely mint (hinged albeit) copy and it is so very nice.

Stamps are endlessly fascinating... :)
This an excellent collection.
Thanks for saying so! Such a joy to put together, and stamps from Canada rock... so beautiful and collectible
Super Collection
Check your public libraries to see if they sell catalogs that leave circulation. They may be glad to get some cash for them.
Great advice!
Good afternoon Silk we were lucky to learn history,art culture and in my kids eyes it's all junk and not a investment in there future😂😂But they will get to the enjoyment of collecting one day😁😁😁
Agreed!

well mine has some color and varieties on the maple leaf issues. not much on the color issues.does mention color variations due to paper changes at the front. of unitrade
have the first and second GB Davo albums and an extra set of series 2 pages . Have Germany,US,Ireland, UN ,Canada in specialized Scott's
Super!!!!
Where do you get the top loaders and the and the card inside the holder? Thanks
A sports cards store has the top loaders... I think Target/Walmart does too... and I made a template for their cards in Excel and had Kinkos print and cut them to size.
*Parábéns!*
Hello i have an old lighthouse stock book probably from the 80s since it says made in west germany on it is it acid free and safe?
its the same size as the blue ones you have on the left except its brown
Not sure... though I know it's recommended to swap out stockbooks after awhile, so probably best to be on the safe side and find a new home for your collection.
@@silkonthewebim not sure tho, it looks new and unused no staining nothing if it hadnt had the “made in west germany” id think its a new stockbook
Much cool stamps, but i dont like this type how you cellect him ... album ... this packing for card ... this all not look cool ... sorry 😞
There's no wrong way to collect, I think... to each their own...
I love this storage system!
