The Sweden #11 cancel could be “Gamla Stad”, the Okd Town District of Stockholm where the central post office is.
I believe that is correct.
Hi Ted, congrats on some beautiful stamp purchases. Thank you for the fantastic beautiful clear images of each stamp you received. Love watching your videos sir. Keep up the good work. Warm regards
Bradley B
Thank you very much, Bradley. I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching.
I really enjoyed your video, I am only just learning about stamps and learning a lot watching you and other stamp collectors.
Thanks, Jilly Bee. Stay tuned; I’m planning a formal series of instructional videos on philately. Thanks for watching. Happy New Year.
Omg..awesome Turkish stamps.. Am going to see if I can get me some of those..
Interesting stuff re hipstamps.. We've got a similar one that does ship out of UK called UPA auctions - am sure you must have heard of it. They send out a catalogue every quarter, 6 weeks in advance.. Bids need to be submitted on a Tuesday before 5pm. Then they process them and send out emails to all the winning bids. Why I like about them is they insert a foldout listing all the lots that were sold and how much for. If it's not sold then it gets marked as US, then next time around US2 and so on.. It starts of with a minimum bid of 80% their estimate (not cat value - I usually to for those max 20% cat value) ..next time they knock off 11% and next 12%.. If it gets to a point where it's like US10 or thereabouts (sometimes much earlier), they mark it as BB - bag a bargain and accept bids from £1. You can bid for as many lots as you like but enter them on the form in priority order. You can also select bid steps so for stamps up to around £30, you can have bid steps ascending in £1 increments.. Obviously higher values will have bigger minimum increments..
Anyway I am going to definitely check out hipstamps and look into their UK shipping costs.. Thanks Ted!😊👍
I’ve been on their mailing list in the past, and even got a nice set if the last 3rd Reich stamps issued, when they ran a promotion. That’s been quite a while (years) ago, and I guess they grew tired of me not participating in their auctions. 🤷♂️
@@tedtalksstamps I missed a couple of their auctions but was always sent their catalogues.. Strange.. Not sure if they send catalogues overseas or just make them available online.. 🤔
Hi Ted, that is a great selection of classic stamps from the Hip Stamp site. The Turkish Red Cross equivalent stamps are new to me and very interesting. I will be looking for them to add to my collection when the opportunity comes along. Keep the Videos coming they are truly interesting and fun.
Thank you very much, Al. I appreciate it.
You won a lovely collection of stamps :)
Thank you Karen. I apologize for the late reply. I didn’t realize I had so many unanswered comments. Thanks for watching.
GAMLA simply means OLD in Swedish. It could refer to any old town
Thanks, Torben.
Hi Ted I think the name of the town that the Swedish stamp you won off Hipstamp is Gammalsvenskby.
I think you would need two postmarks to fit that whole name in. 😄
That Scott 296 is gorgeous!
Yes, it is. I'm very pleased with it. Thanks for watching, Beth.
The Turkish stamps are nice and cheap, cheap because almost nobody collects stamps in Turkey. The Portugese stamps are beautiful I love the cds on the stamps, the French colony stamps has 5c decentred, always nice. The Swedish stamp beautiful as well. The american stamp with an automobile is nice too, well centred, nice design too. I buy stamps in europe, without costs for an auction, totally free, the world has changed, nowadays collectors are the dealers and it is a lot cheaper. Today ww3 started in Ukraine , there are no a lot of bargains everywhere, the collectors are not bidding, they watch the news, same in the summer, much less bidders is more bargains.
Turkiye is not so popular outside of that country, either, as most collectors are discouraged by not being able to read and identify the stamps. Thanks for your comments, Wolfie.
@@tedtalksstamps Hello Ted, and now there is a lot of inflation going on in Turkey, if someone invests in stamps always look at the economic situation of the country, inflation means prices go down is a bad investment. (inflation is now worldwide) but i have a bid now on Norwegian kiloware stamps on paper 2015-2020, Norway is economic maybe the strongest country in the World.
I agree; if one is going to invest in the stamps of a particular country, it's best to find a country with a growing middle class of consumers. That is what drove the prices of China over the last decades.
My favorite place to buy my stamps . Is Century stamps out of New York.
I’ve never dealt with them. I’ll check them out. Thanks.
Beautiful selection of stamps that you acquired from Hipstamp. You may be interested to know more about what is pictured on US #296 which you have. Along with the 1901 Pan American Exposition set, I also have a article clipped years ago from a May 1901 paper announcing the issue of this set. Each stamp in the set was explained in detail by this article. Each stamp design in this set was taken from photographs that were current to 1901. According to the article, the 4 cent stamp showed an automobile, probably electric, which was owned by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in front of the US Capitol. The B&O railroad was the first railroad to provide a service of picking up passengers by automobile and taking them to the station to board the train. This what this stamp is showing, a service that we know nothing about today. In a letter written in 1904, my grandmother mentioned about her senior class being picked up by the railroad at the school and taken to the train in electric cars for their senior class trip to Washington, DC. This is the story behind what is illustrated by the 4 cent Pan American Exposition stamp which you have.
That’s very interesting, Willard, and would make for a good episode itself. Might I be able to get a copy of that article?
I am sending a copy of this article through the mail to you. It will take a few days as it is coming from Pennsylvania.
@@willardtaylor6249 Thank you. I appreciate it very much.
@@tedtalksstamps I will be putting the copy in the mail today. Let me know when you receive it. If it doesn’t arrive in a reasonable time, I can always send another copy. I was unsuccessful trying to send it electronically. As attractive as the Pan American set is to us today, it is fascinating to see how it was described from the perspective of someone who was writing about it as a new issue in 1901.
@@willardtaylor6249 Thanks. I am on vacation right now and will be back home on Dec 6, so I’m not too concerned with how long it takes.
Swedish town could be Gamleby
That's as close as I could get, but I can't see that 4th letter being an E.
Oops. I mean the 5th letter.
Enjoyed
Thanks Alan.
I started buying through Hipstamps after watching your video. I now am having a problem with getting stamps I bought last month. The seller doesn't respond and I haven't heard yet from Hipstamp who I notified yesterday. Hope it can be resolved. I think I am through with this method of buying.
The cancellation on the 30 öre vapen is Gamleby, valued at 10 euro. A recent purchase of mine was a german states stamp, that you could cut up into 4 mini stamps each with the value 1/4.
Thank you. I’ll have to seek out a CDS with the whole name on it, to see how that 4th letter on my stamp becomes an E.
@@tedtalksstamps The reason i know it's Gamleby is that there is only one post office that starts with Gaml, according to Facit postal.
@@bakatstravarenmattsson3418 Right, that is the only city I could find in my search, also.
@@bakatstravarenmattsson3418 sorry, that’s twice I’ve referred to the 4th letter. It is, of course, the 5th letter, which is only partially visible, but does not look like it could be an E.
@@tedtalksstamps Facit postal is a book with valuations of cancelations, pre-philately to modern, it even has a backwards list if you not have the begining of the place name.
GREAT STAMPS NEVER TRIED THERE AUCTIONS I'LL HAVE TO TRY ON THE NEXT ONE THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO DAVE CRONIN
Thanks, Dave. I appreciate it.
Awesome :-)
Thanks, Nisarg.
I find Hipstamp to be expensive compared to eBay and items are often cross-listed on both. eBay isn't what it used to be, but bargains can still be had.
My experience has been otherwise. But it could just be different material we are looking at.
I'm very curious what brand stamp album you show in your video intro of Austria stamps. Love the videos, thanks
That is just a standard stock book. It has no printing for specific stamps of any countries. It has 10 rows of glassine pockets in which to store your stamps. You can see the different variety of stock books available here www.subwaystamp.com/White-Pages/products/20/
@@tedtalksstamps Thank you!
Hi Ted it's Marv Schindler . I have two old albums of foreign stamps. I don't bother with anymore. But my U. S. Collection is something to be reckoned with. But that's for another Day. I am a big patriot. love our founding fathers. My favorite I George Washington. Well that's it for now.m.s. have a great day. P.s. you are a interesting man.
Thanks Marvin. Love your birds.
I Joined Hipstamp .. Thanks for the advice on Hipstamp They have nice selection of stamps.I will be buying from them,I just got back into my stamp collecting hobby .back in the early 90's I belonged to a stamp club out of plymouth,michigan it was a blast loved it! I now live up in northern michigan far away from any major city's.. btw love all the imfo you put out! I have a question..how would one unstick stamps that got humid and stuck to the paper glasines? steam them? no way would I soak them in water..they are mint stamps and wanna keep them that way..any imfo would help sir!
Welcome back to the hobby. I’m afraid anything you do to unstick those stamps will ruin their mint status. At best they will all have disturbed gum. You might try a sweat box. There is a YT video by Postal Pleasures that gives details on the procedure: ua-cam.com/video/AazNXHR7M7Q/v-deo.html
Un stick STUCK Stamps, depending on overall size Stamp Lifter Dark Green top & bottom w cream middle holey ?'shelf'?, i put wasser in bottom - if you get box when closed Herimatically Sealed inside makes 4 very high humidity, and meby gueaas and by gosh allow humidity to do its work - softens adhesives & you can separate stuck items, very care fully. How you remove adhesive from top of the stamp is more careful touch and go work! ? W q tips? You has to decide. But When Adhesive dries oon top you has shiny surface sheen.
Hi - in one of your videos you showed a stamp of a ship with ground wood included in the stamp - where would I purchase one? Thanks
2 sets that put the wood in the stamps are from Bermuda (Scott #902-905) and Gibraltar (Scott #1005-1008). Go to any site that sells stamps -- HipStamp, ebay, stamps2go -- and search for those catalogue numbers.
It's Gamla Stan, Sweden
I believe you are right. Wikipedia says the name Gamla Stan probably dates from the early 20th century, and then only colloquially. This shows that the name was in use much earlier, and in an official context. Thanks for your help, Rivcuban.
@@tedtalksstamps You're welcome. I love your videos!
@@Rivcuban Thank you very much.
Can you post some addresses to buy bulk stamps from? American mostly and some foeighn ones also..thanks .. Ive been a stamp collector since the 5th grade Im 60 now
A good dealer is Swan Philatelic Imports. They have many kiloware mixtures of USA, worldwide, and single countries. In my next few videos I will be reviewing some country mixtures I ordered. Their web site is www.swanstamps.com
Is Ebay any good to buy from? Ive never done Ebay yet ..but I seen they have a lot of stamps for sale .. is it safe to buy from as in not getting ripped off?
You’re not going to get ripped off. Even if the seller tries to pull some over on you, you have Ebay and PayPal on your side. I don’t like ebay, though, and only go there when I’m having trouble finding what I want elsewhere. Many of the same dealers are on HipStamp anyway. Ebay just has a larger base of international dealers, whom I rarely use because their prices are usually more expensive, and their higher shipping fees make it even worse.
The user experience is also bad and keeps getting worse. Ebay keeps doing more and more to isolate the buyer from the seller. They are so worried about people negotiating off-site transactions that they make it very difficult for buyers and sellers to communicate.
more info re hip stamps
I will do a video for that.
Keep dreaming!
Dreamin' on.
