Thank you so much for watching! It is very uplifting to meet other people that are also passionate about stamps and collect them. 🙂 Sorry you don't have the possibility!
Hello Nikolai/Roman. Wow, thank you for watching some of my older videos!!! I appreciate it tremendously! I really enjoyed my first stamp fair tremendously. There is something magical about a "first experience". Greetings to you in Bavaria, Germany! 🙂
Hi JC. Thanks again for watching and for your comment. I really appreciate it so much! I was very glad that the people were willing to talk to me, and they were wonderfully friendly and open.
Great video. You are so lucky to have those fairs in your area. As I live in a small town hundreds of miles from any major city I never get to go to any. Thanks for sharing and look forward to your next video. Take care.
Hi Dan, it is wonderful to know that I will be able in future to find and buy stamps when I am further on my collecting path and know what to seek for. I checked, and this stamp fair in Tauranga is held four times a year. It must be difficult to be a bit cut off from other stamp collectors. That is why a growing digital stamp community is so excellent. Thanks for watching again. I am glad my videos is not putting you off. I should interview you as well, probably via zoom, when I am better with interviewing and be able to react on your stamp collecting focus areas. Please take care as well. 🙂🙂🙂
Thank you for watching and your comment, Silvain. Yes, the more stamps around you the better. 🙂 Thanks about my accent. My home language is Afrikaans. Sometimes I would have liked to not be so uncertain about pronunciation of some English words. 🙃🙂
Hi Jason neighbour. Special greetings here from New Zealand. Hope you are doing well and thanks for watching and your kind comment. I makes me cringe a little bit less about my videos. 🙂
I really enjoyed that. It was just like going on a day out with you. I'm so pleased you picked up some bargains. Thanks for the video and I'm really looking forward to finding what else you found out about New Zealand stamps and postmarks.
Hi Michael, I am so glad that you could feel like you are joining in! I hope to get finished with the video in which I show what Terry showed and taught me soon. Really thank you for watching and your positive comment!!!!
Thanks for doing this video on the Tauranga stamp fair! I have been to New Zealand in 2006 and 2007 for 2 work trips to Te Puke, and have been to Tauranga only a few times. Glad to see so many New Zealand stamps and philatelic items sold there, which I would have bought a lot if I am there!
Hi Joyseng, first of all thank you so much for watching. I am so glad you enjoyed my video. Well, you just have to come and visit again. 🙂 The fair is held four times a year, and I think it is a good event for buying stamps. One can even let the dealers that also exhibit there know what you are interested in, and if they have stock, they will bring it to the fair. Thanks again for watching and for commenting. 😊😊😊
@@GreatStampAdventureYou are welcomed. Yes, I do hope to visit New Zealand again but it will likely be Jan or Feb in 2025 or 2026 as there are other countries I prefer to visit first (the list has became quite long since Covid). I am glad to know there will be quarterly stamp fair in Tauranga, and I will keep in mind when I finally get to go to New Zealand again!
Really great video Charnie - great job with the interviews - some really interesting stamp collectors - glad you came away with a few bits and pieces for your collection.
Thank you for your kind comment! I cannot wait to meet all the collectors in the stamp club. They are so friendly and kind and I can just imagine all the knowledge about stamps among them!
Nice video again Charnie, great you got some stamps to take home! Its certainly interesting to see what other people specialise in! Look forward to the next video!
Hi Schuey! I bought the first and only two albums I browsed through, but I just WANTED to buy something. I am sure there will be something new in them for me. I just loved the people. They are so friendly and kind! :) Thanks for even wanting to see more. 🙂🙂
Hi Archie, thanks for watching, and all the way from Thailand! The digital age is amazing. We are all in touch all over the world! Have a wonderful day!
Hi Grant! Thank you for watching and your kind comment! Ah, expanding to Australia and New Zealand - we must stay in touch if you want to. You must watch my next video - not to watch me! - but I am going to show what I learned from one of the members at the show - about New Zealand stamps. It is a bit here and there out of the nature of our conversation, but I think you will find it interesting. Yes, I feel so privileged to now going to be a member of the stamp club. The members I spoke to are indeed friendly and kind and humble, not showing their probably immense knowledge. Thanks again for watching! 🙂
Hi Charnie looking forward to your next video. I am off to the York stamp fair in a couple of weeks for a couple of days - so looking forward to that. My main focus has been on GB and recently Bermuda. Good to stay in touch.
Another enjoyable video! The stock book with all those browning stamps - sometimes called foxing here in the UK - made me nervous! To see such deterioration on relatively new stamps would definitely put me off buying…
Hi again, Richard! And thanks again for watching and commenting!!!! I appreciate it so much, because you are also clearly knowledgeable! I am still not so clued up and attentive about foxing. It is something I must really get more information on and know the impact and consequences of it. In the mean time I am probably "ignoring" it too much. Yes, I thought afterwards I should have been careful about my decision to buy since there was so much discolouration. Sorry to bother you, but do you know if foxing is due to a chemical process (rusting) or is it fungus growth? I hear it especially happens when a collection is housed in a damp place. Is there any way that one can "wash" the foxing out of a stamp? Should a keep such "foxed" stamps and albums separate from other stamps and albums in my collection - can it spread? Sorry for all the questions!!!! Lots of best wishes!
Caught your previous video showing your haul from a stamp show. Thank you for that because I have perused NZPOST and have invested in many stamps...from Avatar, Lord of the Rings, and their latest 'Forest Birds'. Want the Scenic Definitive selected also. Thanks again.
😊😊😊😊They are indeed nice stamps. The latest 'Forest Birds' stamp set IS beautiful, and it is about nature. I love it. Must still buy them. Glad you could find something nice from my info, Steven. And thanks for your comment here.
This is the first time Ive seen stamp collecting in years, when I was a kid every second person collected stamps but now it seems like only a few remain. Great to see, good memories
Shauny, thx for sharing your visit and your experiences with us. You put so much joy in it! Its really being on a stamp fair hunting for something nice. Im also reinventing the hobby again, never stopped but putting more effort in the hobby. Also i had the experience of the first stampfair a year ago. A bit nervous: how does it works? But is was great and so nice to talk about the similar hobby. The age differences are no problem at all. Only as the retired woman you interviewed, i would like her have more time to spend on the hobby. Regards Camiel from Holland
Hi Camiel! Please to "meet" you. 🙂🙂I was also quite apprehensive for going to the stamp fair, but it worked out so well. It is amazing to get to know people from all over the world that are also stamp collectors! Probably because I am not so young anymore, either, I really don't see or is aware of ages of people - young or old. It is only the body getting older, the person inside stays the same. 🙂 Thank you very, very, very much for watching and for your comment. You must be safe. 🙂
I agree, Mattys. It is special to see the REAL stamps. An image is fine, but nothing like the true stamp. Glad I had the opportunity to go to the fair. Thanks for watching!
Can't get over how reasonable the prices are for stamps in New Zealand! I found an album at a flea market in Portugal - there were 480 recent stamps, mainly CTO's with many duplicates they wanted NZ $770.59!!! Needless to say I smiled and walked away! I have stamp envy!
Hi Julie! That is interesting. I still struggle to put prices for e.g. mixes and collections in albums in perspective. I still think in South African Rands (presently I think about ZAR11 to the NZ$ or even weaker). I have no idea how much comparable stamps will cost in SA, but I thought the albums are expensive in NZ! 😃 More than $700 - that is HUGE! I wonder how much postage would be from here to Portugal? There is a trading site in NZ - TradeMe, and every now and then one can really get collections etc. VERY reasonable in TrMe. In future if you really want to purchase stamps you could watch TradeMe, and if you want something I could bid for you, and eventually post it to you, if you could just please reimburse me for shipping costs? Anyway, apart from us possibly swopping in future, if you ever want to try and work something out regarding buying, I will surely try to help. 🙂 Thanks for watching and commenting again!
😂I know next to nothing about bit coin, it didn't even get started with me. If I understand correctly, I hope, different from bit coin, stamp collecting might rather progress to the kind of future, buzzling convention of AI robotics or something more advance and popular. Just maybe. 🙂
Hi Dawid, oh I really loved and enjoyed the stamp club members I met. They are indeed friendly and open, despite my obvious being a "foreigner" in New Zealand. I really want to have proper interviews with more of them in future. Thanks for watching!!!!! 🙂😊☺

Hi Raul, there were quite a lot of mixes of world stamps. Thanks for watching and commenting!
THIS IS GREAT!
Thank you so, so much for watching and your positive comment! 🙂
Love your video, and seeing all those stamps made me salivate a lot! Just awesome. Love your accent BTW.

Wonderful to see all the interviews and how they collect. Thanks for bringing us along
Thanks, Rob, and thanks for watching. I found I like it very much to do "interviews". I need to get better at it, though! 🙂
Loved your video. Looking to expand my collection to Australia and New Zealand. Great interviews with folks that know stamps and so humble.

looks like you had a good time ... we need one here :/
Hi Basil! Do you have a stamp club in Goa?
Always nice to get to a real life stamp fair rather than just buying online
I agree, Mattys. It is special to see the REAL stamps. An image is fine, but nothing like the true stamp. Glad I had the opportunity to go to the fair. Thanks for watching!

What a future BTC convention will look like.
😂I know next to nothing about bit coin, it didn't even get started with me. If I understand correctly, I hope, different from bit coin, stamp collecting might rather progress to the kind of future, buzzling convention of AI robotics or something more advance and popular. Just maybe. 🙂
It is good to see that stamp collecting is still supported by so many., and that the philatelists are such generous and friendly people
Hi Dawid, oh I really loved and enjoyed the stamp club members I met. They are indeed friendly and open, despite my obvious being a "foreigner" in New Zealand. I really want to have proper interviews with more of them in future. Thanks for watching!!!!! 🙂😊☺
