Stunning collection of Machin's John. You're right, just a wonderful design, completely iconic. Very nice video. Thanks!
Wowza!
WOW. those machins are really collectable in the 100's of them. I collect Greece, New Zealand, Cyprus, Aden, Cook Islands, Britain. Keep up the collecting bug.
Hello from Ukraine!
Super collection! Thank you for video.
Thanks for watching!
Great video learning allot keep up the great work 💥💥💥👍👍👋
Oh, how i love this kind of specialization! Simply beautiful with no frills and stuffed pages. Great work!
Thank you so much!
Nice collection, beautifully laid out and organized!
Stockbooks are great for that clean look, and the ultimate flexibility in organizing.
The way you have these albums laid out is so satisfying to look at! It's clear you've spent many enjoyable hours on this collection and put a lot of thought into what and how you wanted to collect it. I also got a big smile about your 77 plate. Not because I don't think you'll get it. But because I think we all have that one stamp, we're holding out a dream for. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I love the Machin stamps especially, it's a true passion of mine.
You know what you du :)
Gorgeous display of used and new.
Mr John my congratulation for your lovelly collection.
👏💯
День добрый.
Очень интересное видео и классные марки. Спасибо большое за обзор. Лайк 👍 👍 👍
Wonderful collection. Must’ve been painstaking putting all the numbers next to the stamps. I inherited a large collection of world and GB stamps and instantly fell in love with the Machins.
It's a labour of love collecting Machins. Thanks for watching, and for your comment.
Did you know you had a few stamps wrongly identified in your collection? At 22:55 you have the King Edward VII stamp SG 216 1/2d blue-green from 1902, which is clearly shown in the postmark, and the lowest value from the reprinted Jubilee set, put in the position for SG 338 which should hold the the King George V stamp 1/2d deep green Downey Head with Imperial Crown watermark.
In addition at 14:38 you show us what is supposed to be SG 842 which is the 1972 1/2d turquoise-blue with only one phosphor band at the left side. This is quite a valuable stamp as is it was only printed in the special 1972 £1 Wedgwood booklet SG DX1 in a single pane SG 841p and this only contained a single copy of this elusive stamp. The stamp you showed us on phosphorised paper is a totally different stamp issued in 1980 as SG X924 and is a very cheap stamp worth no more than 1p.
Great video, I collect world but have a large collection of UK and the two penny blues are one my favourites .
Enjoyed your Machin collection. Mine are still in a big bag. Well done.
Thanks for watching!
Nice collection my friend
Very helpful! Thank you
John, very nice collection and beautifully laid out. I prefer to use stock pages as I find it easier to move things around.
I love the Machins. Other than the Penny Black, they are my favourite stamps.
Keep up the great content. I like your style.
Thanks, I'm new at this but I'm eager to talk stamps!
Very nice collection and I LOVE the layout. You have got my brain working into making my own beautiful Machin layout. First, I have to get some of the machin stamps.
I purchased the first 4 SG catalogues for reference. The Scotts albums which are the better ones in US to use don't have pages for souvenir sheets unless u buy the specialized of each country. I have sheets and envelopes of 2 penny reds to catalogue and put on pages. same with 2 penny blues and many of the Victorian stamps which can be plated. Got tons of un plated Victorian values so a big project for me in future. I splurged and bought a couple estate collections now have lots to do
Wow, sounds like a great collection. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for sharing your excellent collection
Thanks for watching and commenting.

This is very inspirational John, thanks for taking the time to do this.
Thanks for watching
Looking forward to your Machin video. I specialize in the 2d & 2 p values. Currently I’m writing up a reference guide tying together the catalog numbers from Scott, Stanley Gibbons, Deegam and Burgess….all cross referencing each other on just those two stamps. I’m amazed at the number of permutations that exist.
Sounds great!
collecting GB since the 60s, i keep all my machins in a seperate volume to the commems, makes them a lot easier to organise
Nice collection. Love this hobby
Thanks for watching!
Enjoy this,do you use concise for the machins?
Good episode, John. My collection is very weak in GB. However, I do have the 2 bob blue, which I purchased after watching Graham's episode with Samuel West.
Again, thanks for watching. I don't have a 2 bob blue (yet!), but likewise after watching Samuel West on Graham's video, I keep looking out for one, and will snag one sooner rather than later.
Hi John, been subscribed for a few weeks now, enjoying your videos immensly, watched this particular video now several times, although I collected 40 years ago and now nudging 70 I decided to have another go at GB mainly used and use stock books like yourself, also I managed to get the catalogue you mentioned on EBay for £9.99 + £4.50 postage, it is a 2009 edition but like you say for GB it is invaluable, I also have the SG 2022 GB catalogue for the commemoratives but I will only collect up until end of queen Elizabeth II reign, I have no desire to collect King Charles III, anyway thank you for your advice, much appreciated, Mike
Thanks for watching and for commenting.
I have a big collection but I don't have a book to display. Not available in my country
Hi John, I think I saw some Australian stamps on the cover of that catalogue... Wondering if the catalogue lists Australian State stamps, before federation, NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia stamps? It just so happens I collect in the same manner you do, except my bits of paper are hand written for now, just recently re sorting and added to a collection I had not touched for over 20 years, now kids are all grown up I can 're-do' my collection.
Hi Chantal, thanks for watching and for your comment. To answer your question, the Stanley Gibbons Commonwealth catalogue has a whole section of pages dedicated to the Australian States prior to federation, I hope that helps.
@@johncollectsstamps thank you John
หนังสือแบบนี้ในประเทศไทยมีขายที่ไหน ครับ
I have collected British stamps for over 50 years. I have never met another collector.
Thanks for watching. There is a great online community, everyone I've interracted with is positive and supportive of the hobby.
You've collected British stamps for over 50 years and never met another British collector??
@@chriswhitehouse8982 Nope.
What does 'Tramp stamp' mean? Always wondered what it was about?
Nice video, what order do you keep your Machins in your stock book, is it by the lowest SG number first gradually getting higher.
Hello! Chronologically, and then by SG Catalogue numbers. Both the Concise and Specialise SG Catalogues have a complete list of the Catalogue numbers (in the concise volume, there is a section at the end of the book that specifically lists the Machins)
I only have the SG 'Collect British Stamps' book which has them all in but they are scattered throughout the book by year so its not so easy to find them. I know I am bound to miss some and in a stock book that means moving a lot to make way.
Really nice collection, looking forward to the next video.
Could you do a video on how you print your labels for these stock books thanks
Yeah, U.S. stamp production increased wildly after WWII and today, collecting year sets is practically cost prohibitive for young people......unfortunate. Serious philatelists in the U.S. do just like you.....primarily focus on pre-1930.
I think it's the same the world over, so much material is produced just to be collected, not it's original use as intended.
I still cannot believe John passed away his voice was so soothing! And I learned so much from him! 😢
@Republic4ever714 I am so sorry to hear that. Was he sick?
