I love the Queen Victoria stamps. She is my all time favorite

Thanks for another terrific video:) I'll have to check the ones I have. I wasn't aware that some used ones were more valuable.

You never know, it's always worth checking. Good luck

Interesting video. I find the set at 12:35 really striking. And quite a unique design in my opinion. Plus an interesting story to the stamps. Thank you for the video, Pete!

Thank you for the education. Since I try to collect early QV stamps this was very informative as to what to beware of. Much appreciated. Always wondered about the volcano relief values as well.

Beautiful stamps, as several of the colonies issues were. Thanx for your education. I have a large pile of colonial stamps (and fdc's) tuck away. Some day I'll look into them - and enjoy what I see 😀🎄. Merry Xmas to you amd family. Br from 🇩🇰, Claus

Thanks for your comments, I started out just looking at my old collection and then got the bug again. Good luck with your collection.

Thanks for another interesting video giving an overview of stamps of a single country, and especially these interesting islands. The St. Helena stamps are very nice, and being interested in bird stamps, I really liked the bird stamps. I didn't know there are so relatively many indigenous birds on St. Helena. Coming from South Africa, I know St. Helena from the about 6000 to 9000 boers that were prisoners of war there during about 1900 to 1902. So I am very familiar with the name St. Helena, but learned a lot about it from your video.
