Hi Smokey! How neat to get a postcard from Macedonia. You got and showed some nice postcards again. Starting an online stamp club is an excellent idea. I am sorry - I missed your instagram pole. Should you start with a club, I will certainly investigate if I will be able to participate, pending time difference and my available time. It sounds pretentious, but I really struggle to fit everything in what I must do. I belong to a local stamp club - The Tauranga and District Stamp Club. Tauranga has about 162,000 people, and is a relatively large city in New Zealand, and I think one would expect a stamp club here. The club has two meetings a month, and attendance is about 20 people on average, I think. But the club has many more members - it could be as many as 70 members. The club is pretty active, among other things, having several fairs per year. We are unfortunately moving soon, and I will probably have to give up my attendance and subscription to the club. We move to a relatively small town, and there is no stamp club. I can give you more info about the workings of the Tauranga and District stamp club if it will be of any use to you. Very kind wishes here from NZ!

Sorry Smokey I forgot your email. Regard the stamp club.

Alright my friend let's get R dun, LOL!!! I don't belong to one now but would like to soon, 👍

Wonderful postcards, I'm glad for you. What a great idea, the stamp club! I would love to participate, but I'm always insecure about this because I don't have a proper collection in the sense that I do have many stamps but I don't have them organized, I don't even have an album! Would that be a problem?

I've been a member an online stamp club called stamporama. Most of the discussion is via message boards, but I'm sure you could get enough people together there to fill a zoom meeting.

U read my mind...re the beard.Now u look 5 years young...

Hi Smokie, nice video, a lot of nice postcards with stamps! Great idea about a online stamp club, hope you manage to get it off the ground! Have a great weekend, take care

I belong to 3 in person clubs. Would certainly join you online UK time permitting

even I started again collecting stamps. I used to have stamps way back in 1998-1999.

Hi Smokey! You got some very nice postcards and it was a joy to see them! I especially liked the card Rene sent you (with the banana statue) and the birds and animals postcard from Australia, and also the raven maxi card from Jilly. Take care!

When I first understood the concept of this video, I thought, oh poor stamp, why would anyone want to leave a stamp out of the collection, what a shame.... then I saw the stamp! I've always hated Mr Punch. Apart from his really annoying squawk and awful wood features, he hits Judy repeatedly on the head with a baton! I've never understood how anyone could find domestic abuse entertaining! I would *totally* leave this stamp out of my collection too! And being in the UK, I may well come across one of these... yuk, straight to the charity shop haha. :)

Happy to see your mailbox with many happy mail. Loved the postcard from Rene 😊

Thanks for sharing your great stamps and your great friendship, too!

Collect the year of your birth.

Hi Smokie, a really nice batch of postcards & some great stamps on them! My favourite card was the Australian animal/ bird one! Take it easy

And every mail is a piece of joy)))

This was a super exciting Stamp vs Stamp. You and Rob both were creative and I think you missed a great career in making movies! 🙂I loved the stamps you showed. The 1971 stamp from Belgium is amazing, and I also, like you, especially liked the giraffes stamp with the bird from Japan issued in 1999. Congratulations to you and Rob for a year of collaboration and friendship!! ( I told Rob, it is probably time that I watch Doctor Who. I haven't seen any scenes or episodes yet, but it sounds very adventurous. )

how bout having a stamp club on zoom from around the world with friends. My personal meeting page will hold 100 windows.

The USPS is doing a survey about their website and is also asking about stamps related products we would like to see. I put a comment in for a Postcrossing stamp and maxi-cards. I got the link from the American Philatelic Society. I will forward the email to you. Maybe you can share. I think the survey ends on Oct 17.

How do you get to your Instagram? I don't have that. I don't do Instagram is there another way we could let you know the answers please Smokey. I love your episodes and more

I am so happy you like the postcard. That statue just makes me giggle every time I see it.

That banana statue was awesome. Second I saw it Donovan started playing in my head lol. Take care bro... PEACE!!!

Hey Smokie, another great watch with some wonderful stamps, I have a good collection of Japanese stamps & the topics are never ending! Have a great weekend, take care

So many fabulous postcards and super stunning stamps, I am so happy you received my mail too 😊

Our videos might be similar today lots of the same people lol

Great postcards!

Twaskyou sr to show your stamps collection. Blessings

Cool, fun! 😃

Great episode and thanks for letting me choose the episode using the infamous TARDIS. But i thought of an episode of different thing.

As you might imagine, having been born on 13 March, I think of 13 as being my lucky number (not that I really believe in lucky and unlucky numbers), but that made me think that perhaps for your 13th episode, you could possibly have a theme of lucky and unlucky stamps. For example, several countries have issued stamps that have lottery numbers whereby people can win (e.g. Japanese New Year stamps). The theme could go in a number of directions, so it could be up to you two to decide what you want to do, if you even like the idea. Just a thought.

I was thrilled with the Belgian stamp from 1971 because it was issued on my birthday, and I collect stamps (and FDCs) issued on my birthday and this was one that I didn't know about this stamp. Now I know, I can go hunting.

Another wonderful and inventive episode. Thank you.

Awesome Episode!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved traveling with the two of you through time, in and out of the tardis.

This was so fun to watch. You could have made a full length movie. Well done

On a similar theme, would love to see you and Rob explore the land before time began. Looking for stamps with dinosaurs, sabre tooth tigers, prehistoric rock paintings in caves, or pyramids and hieroglyphics. There must be loads of prehistory or archaeology type stamps that could be fun to explore. :)

Watching from 2024.... This was a wonderfully enjoyable episode! You must have both had so much fun making it! Friendship is a brilliant theme. My favourite stamp was the giraffe stamp with the tiny bird. P.S. don't forget to take the tardis back to 2024 or you'll miss your dinner :)

Thanks for the great video and information about duck stamps, Smokey. Since I saw images of these duck stamps on the www I fell in love with them. I don't have any yet, but hope to acquire some in future. Take care!

Hi, thanks for the video, I've got 3 or 4 duck stamps, interesting subject though! Have a great weekend, take care

Could learn new things. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for the information. Great video. Have a good day =)

Thanks for another cool video:) I've only got 2 old duck stamps, but one has my grandfather's signature...so that's cool...except that I never wanted to know that he was a hunter. I love wildlife. This video reminded me I should rewatch the movie Fargo, which incorporated the importance of duck stamp art, and also reminded me that John Oliver did an episode specifically on Duck Stamps. It was funny. This also made me wonder if records of how the funds from these were specifically used are available to the public. To me, the conservation of wildlife and their habitats would involve keeping hunters as far away as possible. Thank you for your awesome videos:)

Great information on these beautiful stamps. Personally, I would not collect them as I would rather spend the money on 'real' stamps for my collection, but if money was no object I may well dabble. Thank you for the video.

DEAR MY FRIEND, VATICAN IS NOT A CITY...IN FACT , IT'S A COUNTRY...THE SMALLEST COUNTRY IN EUROPE, IT HAS A POPULATION OF NEARLY 800 PEOPLE...ITS CAPITAL IS ALSO VATICAN...FERNANDO VARGEZ ALZAGA IS THE PRESIDENT...

Great gift! thank you for sharing. I agree with you regarding CTO's, as long as I know that what it is, then I don't have a problem keeping one with an image that interest me.

I agree 100% this community is so generous. You have been given a wonderful surprise

Crap

Smokey Merhaba, beğenerek izliyorum. Çok değişik ve çok güzel pullar tanıtıyorsun. Bana ilginç geliyor. Çok hoşuma gidiyor.

Can we send a first day cover (use it as an ordinary envelope)?

Hello Smokey! It is a wonderful gift from Michael. The "illegal" overprints are interesting. It is a WWF overprint, it seems. Now I wonder - did WWF or whomever did the overprint buy stamps and then overprinted them? Did they again sell them then? They are striking overprints. Thanks for showing us the USSR and Russian stamps. They are lovely, even though they are CTOs. If they are "genuine" stamps and some were also postally used, while others were Cancelled to Order, I think I am OK with the CTOs. Lots of best wishes to you! 🙂

What a wonderful gift! I was hoping you were going to bring up those overprints. Those caught my eye as well. Very cool. I noticed the WWF (world wildlife foundation) emblem. My guess is that they were responsible and it was to bring awareness to certain species. Then again, you mentioned seeing ship overprints like these, Hmmmmm. Coolest overprints I've ever seen, though. Thanks for another great video:)
