I finally got around to watching your video - only 3 years late. I really enjoyed it. But, humor in a philatelist? I never heard of such a thing.

I'm glad you appreciated the humor. If a hobby isn't fun, why do it? Thank you for watching!!

Many thanks for this video. Could you please tell me how I can get information about the history or design of stamps? Starting my topical collection but sometimes I would love to know more about them besides country and year of issue. Thanks!
