Box One was a very nice batch of interesting postage stamps and materials. Looking forward to seeing whats in Box 2 & 3 ! Thank you for sharing it with us !
Hey Stamp Sleuth, that's a good purchase. I felt sad when I saw those covers without stamps. But you've got some busy days sorting. Looking forward to seeing the next video. Happy Collecting!! 😊
Wow, 230 dollars doesn't seem like a lot. Surely a lot of fun to go through and a wonderful journey what you might find. I am not sure how to approach those 3 boxes. Just go through them and then decide to what collection I would add first. By the way, wonderful that regular postage stamps are used and not labels. Lovely to see! Thanks for the video, really curious for part 2 and 3!
Hi Stamp Sleuth, there were very interesting and beautiful stamps and other philatelic items in Box I. Seems like you did a good purchase again. Lots of material to keep you busy! I am looking forward to see what are in Boxes 1 and 2.
I will collect cut squares - mainly if it is from pre-stamped envelopes in which the flap has sealed to the envelope or the envelope shows some small tears. It is a way of salvaging something from such stationery. I rarely colelct metered stamps unless it features a nice design - a found one recent pre-metered non-profit stamp featuring Mt Rushmore. Check the Transportation Coils for any coil stamps with plate numbers there are a few that are scarce.
Very nice lot! I have found albums like those to be good for finding precancels and perfins - they used to be everywhere in stamp lots but seem like they are getting harder to find. Also saw some transportation series, a favorite. Loved seeing the 37-cent era of stamps and several shuttles in the last album. Looks like a ton of fun. I get box lots from a local dealer and often try to save the album pages if they are in good shape - built up a complete set of Minkus Globals that way.
No later in the video series I disclose shipping and taxed which brought the lot to $400.00, each box had from $40.00 to $60.00 of postage. I was a bit shell shocked by this which is why I only disclosed the auction hammer price!
$230.00 plus shipping which was a lot, total came to just under four hundred dollars with that shipping and taxes, but I found value there, will break even I hope!

Thanks so much! I have to admit I kept quite a bit and had to add shelf space...again.
The Ambassador was my first album as a kid back in the early 60's.
My sister had that one, as did I.

You sound like a very dedicated collector, I will check those transportation coils!

Now that is resourceful! Many thanks for the superb comment and for watching!
I collect fiscals yet under it’s own country. So far it is Canada, US and Turkey. They are extensive and takes most of my free time. 😂
I can well imagine! Thanks for watching.
Your excitement is contagious! Great Ebay win and tons of fun to sort through! You got all that for only $230 and was that with shipping??

Super!!!
I think so too!
What dream!
Indeed it is I will post a video of my favorites soon!
Madam, can I purchase from India
Sorry our postal system outside Canada is simply too unreliable.
How much you paid for these 3 boxes?
$230.00 plus shipping which was a lot, total came to just under four hundred dollars with that shipping and taxes, but I found value there, will break even I hope!
I'm from europe in case you want to trade
At present I do no trades, way too busy with...you guessed it...stamps!
