That was awesome thank you

Stamp collecting is not about money. If you want to invest money, buy shares. Stamp collecting is about having fun looking at them and sorting them. Just have a good time. For unexperienced collectors very expensive stamps are not fitting. Too many fakes and too many people who want to buy them from you for way too less money. Simple begin collecting and if you like it, you will gain the experience automatically.

Thanks for adding this here, made it easier to share with my family who aren't TTers!

Absolutely good upload. People are so ingrained with the USSR propaganda they can't come to realize that the RF is simply different

I really don't like your comments. You talk as if stamp collecting is just worth something if there is a lot of money behind the collection. That stamp collection would make me VERY happy.

At my stamp club, we have seen collections rubber glued, stapled and scotch taped to albums. Sometimes collections that would have been worth a few thousand dollars. A few key issues were occasionally still worth 1/50th-1/100th of a sound copy.

Good afternoon. I have an interesting story to tell you about albums and postage stamps.

Very interesting. I suggest you explore Privately run posts offering mail services to supplement USPS services where USPS is underserving an area. One particularly interesting one that ran from about 2000 - 204 and served the suburb Wakiki in Hawaii was Hawaii Post. I lucked into an older collector selling off his collection that include these Private Post stamps on ebay (I asked about his pricing as he was offering excellent deals along with checking the Hawaii Post site which has still the stamp displayed for informational purposes). The creator of this private post was an Englishman living in Hawaii. He never produced mroe than 5000 of each stamp and the number of issues was modest - about 5 or 6 per year. Presently there is one operating Private Post in the US (this excludes those creates by collectors for sheer philatelic purposes) called Rattlesnake Island and provides postal service from mainland Ohio to the Rattlesnake Island. The covers featuring the very first 1966 stamps are valuable (a recent auction on ebay had one sold for about $180). Why? The first stamps were shortly discontinued after their production as the USPS sau they looked too much like their own stamps. Rattlesnake changed the shape to its signature triangle shape. The Private Post had stop running in 2010 with a few years break between the years of activity _ 1966 to 2010. However, a philatelist resumed the service and issuance of stamp on 2022. I am not sure how often it is used with the prevalence of email but I imagine there is some very infrequent use for parcels from the island to the mainland. The owner of this Private Post sells postal covers from 1967 - 78. Not sure where you can get postal covers after 1978.

The first US slave owner was a black man and he went to court to fight for him to own them. Don’t trust people who like tweakers kids. ✌️

Typical, breaking everything down to slavery. The Mexican government did a lot of bad stuff against the Texans. So did the Indians. Fighting back was necessary! One thing that Mexico tried but that enraged the Texans was gun confiscation. The Texans didn't fight a war for slavery. There was a lot more to it.

Wow, I didn't know about these, that's so interesting! Thanks for sharing, Leven! Hope one day I'll get my grubby hands on one

Incredible and very innovative!!! Thanks for this very interesting video, Leven.

Wow thats crazy. I never thought how much space and weight mail takes up. I come from a family of postal workers. Now i know why my aunt and grandpa was strong

Fascinating. Free franked for service people I presume.

No they were invited by the Mexican government first to settle the land, try to rewrite history all you want it doesn't change the truth

Bet you couldn’t walk a crossed the border bridge into Mexico. 🇲🇽 do more exercise. 😭

The Mexican-Texans (Tejanos) actually joined to the AngloTexans (to figth Santa Anna´s despotism and cruelty) to be free from a pretty much careless and unitrested central Mexican goverment, we mexicans sadly neglected the north, but the Tejanos, who fougth for their freedom, gived their lifes in the Alamo, had their propieties lost by the razing of the mexican army, and valiantly fought in San Jacinto to win an independent and free nation were in turn betrayed by the AngloTexans who threaten them, then they make them leave their lands that they had held, worked, and defended for generations at gunpoint, and then started to lynch them for resisting, and most of them lost their lands and wealth to be taken by the Anglos most of who were people who didn´t figth in the Texas independence war, but arrived late to the figth and did not want to leave empty handed, or only came to settle and take the land after the struggle already had pass. They fougth for freedom, and in turn lost not only their hard worked land, but also their nation, as Tejas, now Texas became a state runned by Anglos, who despite their sacrifice for the new born nation despised them, and also became pariahs and traitors to their blood kind the mexicans, and many had to go back and forth despised by both Anglos and Mexicans. I cannot honor them for they are traitors to my nation, I respect their struggle and bravery at best, but at least I whould have hoped of an honorable nation to not have treated with such cruelty and despise, and then erasing from their history and memory the people who figthed and sacrificed so much for their land freedom.

Trump 2024!

Yeeehaww 🇨🇱

yes that is part of the truth but not the whole truth. history is not black and white. not everyone in mexico was happy that slavery was abolished by guerrero. he was betrayed and executed. even though the mexican revolution had promised freedom and economic uplifting it did not happen because the same people who where in charge before where themselves in charge. corruption, racism, and gov abuse. it was no different than that under spain. texas was much better off as an independent nation than that under mexico. if mexico did not was to lose those lands then they should had asked catholic europeans to settle there instead of americans.

cool dont care

Yep, goes to show you shouldnt let illegal immigrants in. They might take over and form their own state...... How do you guys paint this example any other way... That story is exactly why you shouldnt have open borders. Look what happened to Mexico. They lost Texas because of Illegal immigration.

Crazy history. And the way it’s taught in Texas schools leaves so much out lol

So true, so true. Most Texans can't handle the truth.

An excellent example of the DANGERS of mass immigration, illegal immigration and failed assimilation.

Waiting for those comments jutifying the practice and history behind it all.

Wow, I learned somethig today.

Eu gostei pena que não em português

The Tipi on the front is very interesting yet sad. Great piece

buyer beware. I can list for sale anything for a million bucks but it you look it up on the internet and see its worth 2 cents well you dont buy it. If you can find all this information out in a few minutes SO can any potential buyer.

I loathe seeing old books taken apart for resale but it's definitely a business model. It's just disappointing 😞

Nice 👍

Hi. ❤

For some reason RUclips suggest your video to be seen again ❤❤❤

Wow i remember i had a chance in the early 2000's to buy 10 books at a yard sale that where all in the 1800's. I passed cause they had water damage. Now i wish id scooped them up.

Very interesting. Especially about the small companies producing these stamps. Leven, what is the difference between a forgery and a reprint? Thanks for the video!

This is some very good advice. I've not met Richard, or dealt with him remotely. But I do have his website bookmarked on my iMac and visit it occasionally. My primary collections are at the point where I depend on dealers to help with additions. As an aside, I don't mess with eBay, DelCampe, or HipStamp. Having those regular dealer relations is highly valuable.

What’s going on now isn’t the same as 100 years ago you have no clue about anything you’re talking about and you just make yourself look ignorant

My son and I requested sets from Michael. They came in a timely manner, and both of us are just tickled to receive them. I am working on my collection to get it going after sitting idle for 30 years, except for just saving canceled stamps off envelopes. My son is also getting back into collecting after many years. I did have the original beginner album he had when he first started a couple of decades ago. He was happy to have it back. He thought it was lost. I have a quick question for you. Would war ration stamps from WW2 be considered to be Cinderella stamps suitable to keep with my collection. I have some of the ration books that my grandparents were issued along with those issued to my mother and her siblings.

Interesting commentary. Many large scale stamp shows around the country have what's known as a "What's in Your Attic" booth, or similarly titled. People can bring their collections in, for free, to have knowledgeable collector volunteers assess what they have. The vast majority of these old collections are of "sentimental value" only. Meaning that the collections were compiled by parents, grandparent, aunts & uncles, etc. Condition is also paramount as explained by the video presenter.

This reminds me of an old joke. Catholics drink during church, Methodists drink after church and Baptists drink behind the church.

Stop saying it's like today nothing like what's goin on today. Talking bout shit u have no idea. Get a clue

You just said it in the first minute. Has nothing to do with his Catholicism, everything to do with him being a MOONSHINER.

I love it when RUclips actually recommends interesting stuff.

As someone with relatives that were Cajun Catholic Klansmen (who considered New Orleans "up north"), I wonder how they squared that circle.
