Question from 14:52
Do you keep or remove the backing paper for Mint Self Adhesives in your collection? Do you think the adhesive would cause harm to the stamps and paper over time?
I only remove the backing paper from the ones that I mount. Any that I keep in stock books or not on display I keep with backing paper.... It can be time consuming, but I would think that the adhesive would ruin the stamp over time (like 80 + years maybe?)..Great video again!
I keep the backing paper on mine.
I would keep the backing paper on, keeps it in proper mint condition. Also allows the stamp to potentially be used in the future.
Normally i keep the backing paper, but in an album, i wanted a good looking presentation so i removed it...
Definitely keep the backing!
Hand written letter appreciation society!!! That sounds like fun. I love to find old handwritten letters!
Yes check out the society! Thanks for watching Laura :)
Practicing calligraphy and good at handwriting With a relaxed manner Good manners those days These days I don't even teach you how to hold a knife and a fork With a good hanky
mr. beck you have to keep this vlog going. plain and simple your videos are too educational and interesting to let go. Many thanks for keeping me ablaze with interest in philately.
Thank you, I will 😊
I am new to following stamps on youtube, but have been collecting off and on for over 50 years. Thanks for your great videos.
Thanks for watching Connie, glad you are enjoying the videos 😀
"Rusty R.I.P." ......... 😆
Great show, Graham. I've never had such fun going through someone else's mail. Welcome to the Two-Bob Blue Club. That is a very nice looking copy. And thanks for the mention.
You are very welcome, Ted 🙂. I’m just happy to be in the 2BB club! Glad u enjoyed it.
I really enjoy each video! Thank you for your excellent, informative, fun and enjoyable content !
You are very welcome, thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it 😀
I have a collection that has many stamps from Canada but it is not something I have looked at for 15 or more years. I guess it is time to look it over and see if anyone else is interested in taking care of the stamps and enjoying them!
Great video !! In my opinion you've just reached the right balance between the old episodes and your new #philately version. Congratulations from Brazilian Amazon! P.S. I had that Portugal LED stamp, but only now with your help and from the Philately Lately guy's tip, I found out how it works !! Thank you both !!
Sending postcard📮to space
Very interesting
Loved this video reading fan mail! I think it’s a great idea showing your fans you care/read their letters!
Thank you 😊
mallard stamps i watch ur vids lol
thanks for the new vlog, love that tornado on a stamp, quite extreme! and the wax sealed classy envelope, and the covid slogan cover , happy to know that there are friends writing and sending stamps for the show. kinda miss receiving any mail since 2 decades ago
Another great video!! I am active in Postcrossing (love it, by the way).
Another wonderful episode of #philately ! It's still mad that Samuel West actually sent you a 2 bob blue! And I'm happy to know that my card has arrived to you, even I didn't knew that a few people that I know sent you something! To bad that Rusty got replaced, I sincerely salute to Rusty for his services R.I.P 😞😆
Thanks Taufiq :) Glad that you enjoyed it, and thank you again for sending the wonderful card! RIP Rusty! 😔😅
Awesome!
For a future video could you show how to display your stamp collection? It would be cool to hang up some frames of stamps around my house. Thank you!
Graham wonderful episode and thanks for showing the cancel I shared with you. Sorry didn't provide any unused stamps - I am just starting as a stamp collector - partly thanks to your videos.
Thanks Chris, I was happy to feature it briefly. Such a cool positioning of the dinosaur and stamp. Thanks for sending my way and welcome to the world of philately :). Happy Exploring!
thank you for sharing have a nice day friend
Thank you for watching 😊
I always try to get my postcards and letters hand-canceled. Also when I travel I spend time finding stamps of where I’m going (in the US) and use them on postcards that match. I love this channel! And I’m really enjoying postcrossing! Your mail outs on Patreon are awesome! I’m so glad I found you on UA-cam! I’ve learned so much and having more fun with my collection. 💖
Hey graham, I don’t know how relevant of a topic this is but one topic I would love for you to mention in a video is banking history through philately. Collecting cheque’s, revenue stamps and similiar items. Love your videos mane. :)
Thank you for your service Rusty!
📮 We salute you, Rusty! 😞
Great opening scene!
😷👍. Thanks Louis
Hi, Graham Back I think You are best stamp story teller on UA-cam!!^^*Your video is always interesting and wonderful^^* Thanks^^*
Hi Cheolmin, glad that you are enjoying the videos, thanks for watching 😀
@@ExploringStamps ^^ ..I just love stamp,..^^...Today is sad day.ㅠㅠ Rest in peace, Sir Sean ConneryㅠㅠHe was one of the great actor in the world film... film 'Finding Forrester’ and ' Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' , 'James Bone 007 Series' I loved his movies. Would you tell me stamp about Sir Sean Connery?
I know for a fact that the gum on older self-adhesives may leak. I have a number of 1990s Dutch issues which always got stuck on my pages because of gum leakage. Also, I don't like to have single stamps with backing paper around it in my collection as I don't think it looks nice. So with those I remove the backing paper and stick the stamps on those see-through stamp mounts. I cut those away as much as possible and am then left with a stamp which looks as much as a normal stamp as possible. Unfortunately, here in Britain we now have stamps with different types of background paper, which have become collectable as well, so in those cases I would not remove the paper!
Love your videos which I've only discovered today, so I'm binge-watching at the moment!
Welcome to the channel Adrian, interesting to hear about the 90s Dutch self adhesives, clearly there is reason to be concerned about the preservation of such stamps. Thank you for sharing.
25:25 "I'm looking forward to reading it cover to cover..."
VERY PUNNY VERY PUNNY
💪 Gotta exercise my pun skills 🤓. Haha thanks for watching!
F in the chat for Rusty.
He will be memorialized for generations

I have really been loving the beauty of some of the French stamps I have seen, the is one with two Knights on it that I love.
Awesome :-)
Very Cool. My dad helped build the Command Module that landed on the moon. In 1969. A place called AVCO, in Lowell, MA
Graham, great video. I discovered Ted taks about stamps. He is very interesting.
Great! Ted has a very interesting channel, I'm also enjoying his videos 😀
Man do I love your videos!
I plan to send you a really big package full of lots of cool stuff!
And thanks for giving me the opportunity to be a winner in your stamp ex 2020 competition!
😀 Thanks Yan, I hope the winning package arrives soon. Thanks for watching!
I thought the ten items that arrived in the post today, a mixture of Postcrossing cards and stamps I've bought online were great.... then I watched this latest episode from Graham! So many amazing items!! I loved this video and seeing the wide variety of philatelic-related items you've been sent. Let's hope there are more videos like this to come.
😅 Thanks Barry! I'm jealous of your Postcrossing cards, I'm hoping to receive my first ones soon. Glad that you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching.
Orthography is awesome!
Fantastic video Graham!! I was also one of those collectors that added some 2 bob blues to my collection after watching your earlier video 😀. Looking forward to the next episode already 👍
Brilliant! Thanks for being a part of the 2-Bob-Blue club, I'm a new member but enjoying it so far 🙌
It’s really interesting to have a lot of mails once.
Spectacular video! Thanks.
😀 Thank you.
The Technology Make's life Accurate
Great video, Graham! And thanks for the shout out, I really appreciate it. :D
You are very welcome CJ, I'm looking forward to seeing more content from you. Thanks for your support :)
I've had terrible cancels from the new stamps, so I've bought a lot of vintage stamps (mat finish) off EBAY for my postcards. Hope the Stamp/coin show is still on in DEC. I have over 150 signed space cachets
Very interesting as usual, thank you Graham. Michael (@defenderium)
Glad you enjoyed it Michael, thanks for watching 😀
Lucky you, Graham, for receiving so many great postcards!!! The one from Portugal is cooooollll!!!!
😅 Im super lucky! And yes the one from Portugal is really cool!! ⭐️
Ah geez! I completely forgot I sent you a letter until I saw an envelope in that stack that looked familiar. Literally a day after I wrote to you, I watched you Postcrossing video. I've sinced joined Postcrossing and have sent postcards to Russia, Germany, and New York :)
🙌 glad you joined Postcrossing! I’m still trying to reply to all my mail but was going to recommend Postcrossing to you! Some #philately stickers will be on their way shortly 😊👍
Love your videos. Very good.
Expect more such mail videos. Really amazing and surprising to know what's coming out of them.
😊, It IS really amazing and surprising. I think a full episode dedicated to the mail was worth it.
Literally putting a like on every video you upload without even watching it............
You are too kind!! Thank you 😊
That book looks really interesting. I definitely need to watch the dino stamp video, some of the first stamps I ever received with a kids magazine were dino themed. After receiving many beautifully decorated postcards I felt I had to up my game, and washi tape is relatively easy and effective. Glad you got it and glad you liked it (and the washi tape).
You should check out these cool Dino stamp resources! thedigitalphilatelist.com/thematic-paleontology/
The book is really great! Thanks so much for sending the postcard :) You may have convinced me to start using Washi tape on my outgoing postcards 🤔. Thanks for your support Martin!
So fun to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊. Thanks for watching.
This was super fun ♥
energy awareness month is celebrated by using excessive amounts of ink. Seems another good idea. Although i did like the post mark. It looked like a skeleton about to get it's eye socket shanked.
💀🔌, now I cannot unsee it.
yep, i see mine there. thank you :-)
😎👍
I wish the USPS would find a way to use those slogan cancellations without obliterating the design of the stamp. The one on the Smithsonian stamp also appeared on a letter with a nice commem put on a letter to me by my brother. A few years ago at Christmas time they had one that was so bad that it ruined almost all the stamps on the letters mailed to me. You could say that that made me mad at the USPS, which I am finding to be a common event over the last few years. It started when they came out with the Circus cover which could only be obtained by buying the annual book. I refused to buy it.
I think I know exactly which Christmas cancel you are referring to... It was like someone smeared ink with their thumb over the stamps and envelope, I could identify the image on it 😕. Let's hope for better cancels.
@@ExploringStamps I lover the old 1800s England numeral cancels. The numbers told you where they were cancelled.
Sometimes my mom brought back mails she received from her workplace for me. Its so cool seeing very recent Stamps attached to covers and stuff. I will try to write a letter to you if possible
Thanks Graham, so glad you enjoyed the space covers! Looking forward to more Astrophilately topics in the future, especially with SpaceX, Boeing, Blue Origin, and others leading a new generation of space exploration. To see daily discussion and blog posts about space stamps and covers from ATA Space Unit members, head on over to collectSpace "Stamps & Covers" here: www.collectspace.com/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Stamps+%26+Covers&number=20&DaysPrune=1000&SUBMIT=Go
Thanks for sharing, I'll check this out!!
Thank you Jeff!! I am adding this as well to the description. Your covers were excellent for the episode, and I did send off my club for the future card by the way :)
The "Energy Awareness Month" postmark is ridiculously huge and pretty much covers everything. Hope November is better, or at least smaller.
I hope so as well, fingers crossed 🤞
I’m looking forward to seeing what the holiday postmark will look like this year...
Yesterday I got a Halloween card with a T Rex lenticular stamp. It had this postmark, but the stamp was so dark I couldn't tell what it was. Now I know.
Squid Awareness Month, letter goes black.
So many amazing items that would really make a collection pop-out! Also love that Astrophilately book! Link for more Astro resources: thedigitalphilatelist.com/thematic-astrophilately/
i was say on how i found $20 of postage stamps for 15.95 on ebay and used them to mail you that letter
Ohhhh. Good, so there wasn’t anything in the envelope? Phew 😅, it made for an interesting show and tell. Thanks for sending Bleron!
@@ExploringStamps the eBay listing was $15.95 but i had a $5 coupon and that plus $0.67 shipping i say thats a pretty good deal
Love you videos just inherited a collection and it’s been very helpful. I have one problem. Part of the collection was mint sheet files that were stored in mint sheep file books that got humidity and the stamps are stuck to the wax paper Do you have a video how to remove the sheets from the paper
I hate it even stamps end up with the lost Doritos and M&Ms.
hope your ok..waiting for another vlog no7....you should do a vlog for CHRISTMAS STAMPS
Canada Post has a series of weather related stamps including a tornado: www.canadapost.ca/web/en/blogs/collecting/details.page?article=2018/07/26/weather_wonders&cattype=collecting&cat=stamps
I'm new to stamp collecting and really appreciate your knowledge definitely subscribed to your channel and applaud you on recommending to check out and subscribe to other stamp channels and I stumbled across "Mallard Stamps" I have found that both channels are very informative. Thanks
Hey! I told you about the Portuguese stamp with the led, on Instagram, last December. But you never saw, I guess :/
Oh no, my apologies. If it was a DM or a story I typically don't get the chance to see those. 😕. I hope you were able to get one.
@@ExploringStamps yes, I got it! It is really interesting.
Welcome back, Graham! Maybe one of your subscribers can help me. I'm looking for Nov. 1987 issue of the Philatelist, the Journal of the American Philatelic Society. Anybody? .......Another great video! :-))
Thanks Rick! I will spread the word. I'm guessing that you are looking for a physical copy and not the online version. Thanks for watching :)
@@ExploringStamps Thanks Graham, an online version would be fine but I can't find a link. I want the article on Heligoland forgeries. Cheers!! :-))
The new version
Hey Graham, if someone were to request a postcard or something back, would you send it?
I usually send a reply to whoever writes to me... I'm trying to get a little more organized because I think there have been a few that I never got around to.
@@ExploringStamps Ok cool! I will be sending out something for you very soon!
I have a stamp seal with my initial (M)
I'm thinking of getting a G... or maybe an ES one... Or maybe a #P... hmm
Very nice book but too expensive for me at the moment. 🙁
You received a lot of mail. Where do you have your postal address listed?
i read it from the video as he opens some letters/cards in the first half. I sent him a card to the US.
I got the stamp at 7:30 but sadly it was canceled using a pen...
Graham, did you receive a long letter (13 pages) from Singapore ?
Yes I did! Just received last week, reply coming soon :)
@@ExploringStamps Received your reply today 11 Nov 2021, my 2nd letter on the way, just drop me a notification when receive.
I don’t know shit about stamps and i don’t really care about them. I really like the channel tho keep up the good work

I love your videos. They make me happy. Is there any site other than 100, 50, 25 stampsclub where one can swap stamps. Twitter and Instagram is fine, I just wish there was something as big as l postcrossing.com for stamps
