I love how you can remember where each stamp came from and who gave it to you. I got my first ‘kick-start’ in philately from a neighbour who gave me a shoebox of worldwide stamps when I was about 12.
After watching this...I would be WAYYY too embarrassed to show my childhood collection, mine is a total mess 😅. I loved this episode, Richard, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful story .... agreed, those were the days ... I miss receiving mails from relatives overseas too, but then again thanks to online mediums I still have been able to grow my collecting to a level otherwise not possible.
I love this video! Listening to each little stories that came with the stamps in your childhood collection was very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your early memories of collecting stamps!
Thanks so much for sharing your childhood stamp collections and the wonderful memories 🙏🏻 Would have liked a longer look at your aunt’s collection, though 😉 Eddy and I collect Chinese stamps and covers, focussing on those with ancient Chinese artefacts. Wishing you a happy Year of the Dragon 🐉🧧
I enjoyed this video very much, Richard. As usually it is very well scripted and clear. You had beautiful and exceptionally neat childhood collections. Those stock books themselves are very nice as well. The memories with the stamps are priceless. I don't know if I should know: but do you still collect Chinese stamps? I would have thought that collection is a very good collection.
Richard I looove this episode it was so fun to see your collection and hear about their history in relation to your life! Like where you got it or as gifts from friends or your mum. Your monkey stamps are so nice. What a beautiful collection! Does your family watch your channel? Thanks so much for sharing!
Nice to see your stockbooks and that you brought them back. You are spot on, it is not about this is a good or bad era, just different. Love you said that you are not just collecting stamps but also memories etc. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it!
I liked you collection of childhood jeje your chinese monkey stamp zodiac is original or fake?? Ufff nice collection yes, greetings to you from the Canary islands, las palmas city my friend
Nice to watch your video. I remember acquiring my very first stamp at 8 years old. I found it on the sidewalk where it had fallen from a letter the mailman carried. It was a U.S. presidential series stamp. I have been collecting for 70 years!
@@RichardPhilatelistThanks for sharing. I think I managed to find the exact location where this is taken from Googlemap. Did you take the shot at Huanghe Road?
