I do!!! Still! 🙃🙂... and I am avoiding looking at stamps in online stores etc., entirely, not to tempt me to buy! 😂 Wow, thanks so much for watching and commenting!!! 🙂
Hi Charnie! I love your energy and enthusiasm 🙂 I like what you said about sometimes feeling like the collection is out of control. I feel the same way! I've been trying to get my collection a bit more organized this winter break, so this video spoke to me. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Lisa, I appreciate it very much that you watched this video and for your sharing and kind comment. It helps to know one is not the only one on earth going through an experience. 🙂 You have a lovely channel and you are doing amazing interesting things with your stamps. I am sure you are already enjoying a major part of your stamp collecting endeavours and other things you want to do will follow suit. But life is frequently filled to the brim and can be a bit overwhelming. I really appreciate that you were here!
Hi Dan! It IS a lot of stamps, but I am eager to dive into them and I will try to stay the way and keep on enjoying it. A treasure or two will be an exciting bonus! Enjoy your week and enjoy your stamps and writing! 🙂
You are going to have so much fun organizing all of those stamps! I find sorting to be a great way to relax. I'm not a stamp collector, but I can definitely see how this would be wonderful. I can't wait to hear about your progress! 🥰
Hi Rene! Welcome here, and thanks again so, so much for watching! Sorting can be fun and very relaxing, one should just get your mind right and go into that "zone" and attitude, but the stamps in themselves are wonderful to work with, so it is easy. 😊🥰
You are very well organised! And you have made an amazing start. It’s also definitely worth investing in catalogues, even old ones - they can pay for themselves and make organising your collection more fun!
Hi Richard! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. On the surface I organized the stamps fairly well, but underneath I don't know what stamps I have at all and it feels to me like chaos. I am looking forward to sorting and organizing, and getting to know everything so much! 🙂
Hello, lady! Nice to see your postage stamps collection! The stamps of New Zealand are part of my stamps collection. I have some reviews of N.Z. stamps on my channel
Hello! I looked at one of your videos on New Zealand stamps. I will watch the others when I have time again. Thank you so, so much for watching my videos and for commenting!!! It helps my channel so much!
Catching up, Charnie. I hope you don't mind if I give you a tip...avoid those cardboard covered Chinese stock books. They are OK for short time but not for long time storage. BTW I have a massive collection from Malawi. I can send you some if you like.
Hello Rick! I love and appreciate it so much when someone gives me advice and tips!!! Especially when it comes from experience. One cannot find such knowledge in books! I will keep in mind that Chinese stock books are not good enough quality for long term storage of stamps!!!!! Thank you, and thank you again for my huge gift that is on its way!!!!!
good afternoon I watched your review with great interest, I was very interested to see your office where you work on stamps. And what surprised me most was how many stamps you have, it’s very cool. Thank you very much for your review. Of course, like 👍👍👍 in support.
Hi Alexander, thank you so much for being here and watching, and for your comment!!!! I really appreciate it. There are many stamps, but it will be wonderful if I manage to order and sort a large part of them. Then they will mean much more. 🙂 Your stamps you show are much more ordered and in such good quality! Enjoy your week!
Hi William, thanks for watching and for your comment! You have been collecting for a long time and you must have an impressive collection. It must be wonderful to be at the stage you are with stamps collecting. ... Yes, I do not understand why one does not see more women in stamp collecting. Take care! 🙂
I thought I was going to ignore them for a while. They are beautiful albums and in excellent condition - as new. The one has a few single stamps in it, and the other is empty. I will put your suggestion on a list, and see how I am going to incorporate them in my collection plan. Thank you for watching and for your comment!!!!! 🙂 ... PS: Do you have New Zealand DAVO albums?
Wow! I can't believe how many stamps you have amassed over the past year. What an adventure it will be sorting through them all! I have two albums that I have put together - UK and world stamps. I am currently working on my USA album. I am putting them on black loose leaf stock pages, in binders, for maximum flexibility and have them in chronological order. This seemed the most logical thing to do. However, I can see that topical collections probably have more impact on the page and can still be chronological. I do have several pages of wilder and machin stamps in value order and UK Christmas stamps. I think I will do more of this moving forward. Thank you for another great video!
Hi Julie, firstly, thank you so much for watching and for your comment! It sounds like you are already well on your collecting journey. I agree with you, using loose Hagner? pages in binders is the ultimate for flexibility. Maybe I should also consider that again seriously. At the start I have to use stock books, because I could buy quite a lot of them second hand and very affordable. Hopefully I will be able to have some collections going in the stock books. It would be nice to be as far as you are already, but I am also really enjoy the sorting and ordering of the stamps to get there. Why did you choose the US and UK? Are you living in one of these countries? Enjoy your week and collecting very much! 🙂
So many beautiful stamps! They really are tiny works of art. It’s wonderful to find a hobby you’re so passionate about. And you are so organized. I wish I could say the same about my postcards and stationery supplies…a study in chaos.
Hi! The stamps are just organized on the surface. 😆 Most must still be sorted. If one is creative, I think chaos is sort of inevitable to some degree. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!!!!!!
Nice to see you collecting stamps and postcrossing.. i m doing same . i m doing stamps collection at age of 15yrs now i m 42yrs . try to organize your stamps if possible . i m looking for new zealand stamps . some day i will try to buy some from you .
Hi! Stamp collecting and Postcrossing are going well together. Wow, you have been collecting for many years! You must have a wonderful collection! Yes, at the moment while the stamps are not organized at all, I cannot even think of selling or swapping. You must stay in touch. Maybe in future when I am ready we can swap? Thank you very much for watching! I appreciate it so much! Happy collecting and Postcrossing! 🙂🙂
All I can say is wow Charnie! That’s an impressive collection of stamps. I never expected you to have so many, and albums too! Thanks for showing us around you beautiful home. Great camera work by the cameraman too. Cheers and have a blessed Sunday ✌🏻😊
Hi S2G, I am always glad when I see a comment from you, and find that you were here. 🙂Yes, many stamps. It is going to take me a long time to sort them, but I am looking forward to it! My husband was the cameraman. I will tell him about your positive comment. Thanks! 🙂You must have a blast of a week!!!!!
HELLO CHARNIE. I CAN SEE YOU ARE DOING GREAT. ENJOY YOUR BEAUTIFUL HOBBY. YOU MUST START SORTING THEM OUT SO THAT WE CAN START TO EXCHANGE WITH EACH OTHER.
Hi! Good to 'see' you here again, Billy John. I did not forget about our exchange plans! I am so keen to start. I hope it will not be too long before I organized myself and the stamps. I look forward to working with the stamps so much! I really enjoy our hobby!!! Hope you are very well, happy and in good health!
Hi Adnan, thank you for watching and thank you for your positive comment! As far as I know you are the first person from Iraq to comment on my videos. Welcome!
Hi Charnie !!! What an amazing collection of stamps you have - particularly after 12 months of collecting!! I really enjoyed this video :) My collection is nowhere as large as yours however I am hoping to increase more and more :) It really is a great interest and so much history and also the relaxing part of organising etc:) Loved this video very much - thank-you Charnie !!!
Hi Jeff! 🙂 Yes, I accumulated many stamps, but there is no order yet. In that regard I think your collection is much more "advanced"! But I am excited about all the stamps I have. It is going to be a huge joy to work through them, "discovering" them and sorting them. I started with it this afternoon. Thanks again for watching, and for your comment!!!! 🙂
Hi Sergey, thanks for watching even though I cannot speak Russian and thanks for commenting! Yes, it is a large lot of stamps and First Day Covers. It is going to be HUGE fun to sort them all. 🙂
that's just the translation is OK, we have a browser in Russia with the ability to translate, so I'm watching the video with a good translation already. well, I learned a little English at school, of course, I can't talk, but it turns out that there is a speech going on.@@GreatStampAdventure
Hello Ken! It is a lot of stamps, isn't it! Sometimes I think I am always overdoing things, but it is fun to be a bit indulgent. I hope there might be some treasures, and that I will be able to recognize them! Thanks for watching! Enjoy your week! ... I must add - I REALLY enjoy and appreciate your informative videos. I am slowly learning what I need to really enjoy the stamps! 🙂
@@GreatStampAdventure there's really no value to judging yourself over the way you enjoy your hobby. You like the gathering phase; enjoy it. For me, I enjoy bringing the chaos under control--knowing what I have and what I need. I'd be sorting the heck out of those piles, but that's my joy.
Fantastic! A nice cozy room and decently organized. I love the chicken coop outside of the window. You are doing great for only being at the 1 year mark in your collecting journey! Keep up the good work!
Hi Kyle, how privileged am I to have you watching here! I appreciate it so much! Thanks for your positive comment. Did you see the filing cabinet. I bought that after I watched your video about how you organize the stamps by country in your cabinet!!!! I think I will make a video about my plans ahead and I will refer the viewers to that episode of yours. You must have an excellent week! 🙂
You collection is fantastic what hours of fun you have ahead of you. Remember there is no right way yo enjoy your hobby. Thanks for sharing. I like seeing your yard. Must be nice to have a camera operator lol
Hi Rob, my husband did the camera work - not too bad, it being his first time taking on videography. 🙂🙂📷 Wish I could "afford" him full time. 😆I must really concentrate on enjoying every minute and as you said, remember that I am not forced to do it or do it in a certain way, and it is a choice which I should take every day. Very good advice. So far I love the stamps, though. The bit of the yard was a small bit at the back/side, but it is still a pleasure to look over it. THANK YOU for watching again!!!! Lots of best wishes!
Hours and hours of fun sorting, organizing and discovering little treasures! Very nice “stamp” room. Love how neatly everything is organized. Happy Stamping! 😊🔍
Hi! Thanks for watching and for your positive comment! It is going to take a long time to get everything sorted, but I am pretty sure it is going to be fun! I should not let it become a chore! You must enjoy your collecting as well! 🙂
Hi! I think I think so as well! :) Luckily it seems as if I really have the desire and energy to sort, organize and create order with them. :) I am presently sorting the larger lots. It is like an elephant - I must just eat it little by little. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!!!! :) :)
@@GreatStampAdventure I get it you do batches. How many stamps do you estimate will be in your batch size? It seems your little by little may translate to my huge lot by huge lot😄.
@@TheUndecidedFrog 🤣I am not exactly sure how many are in a batch. The size of the batch depends on the size of the lot I bought. I think the first three lots I did was about 3000-4000 stamps? They were all off paper, and I largely sorted into countries, no further yet. One batch of NZ stamps (I am busy with at the moment) has about 2000 stamps, and I sort them into design and denomination (the "same" stamps together). But the batches might be rather more than less stamps than what I estimate. 😄🙂
Enjoyed you sharing your stamp collecting journey with us. I prefer to use the word inventory for my unorganized stamps. We will follow along with your journey to bring organization out of chaos.
"Inventory", that is a good word to describe it. Sounds so official and planned. 🙂 I will remember it. 🙂 I am really looking forward to the organization. After that I will certainly become closer to be a "proper" philatelist! Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment!!!! I appreciate it so much!
Charnie, you have a lot of stamps to go through. Last months I have sold a lot of world wide stamps because I had too much. If there were more hours in the day perhaps I would've kept them :-) I do like your room how it is set up, I can imagine it is a wonderful place to be in, looking outside and enjoying your stamps. Thanks for the video!
Hi Chris! I hope I will manage to find the time to work through most of those stamps! It is not always easy to find the time as you said. But just doing some, will already make the journey worth while. 🙂Thanks for linking my room. It is small, but I enjoy working there. Love to see nature, even though it is the "back end" of the garden. Thank you so, so, so much for watching and your positive comment!!!!😊
Hi! Thank you very, very much for watching and commenting! Yes, I really enjoyed it! All stamps are so exciting and beautiful, I just wanted all of them. 😆 For now I am not going to buy anymore until I know better what I already have, not to buy duplicates the whole time. I am going "cold turkey". 😄 Thanks again for coming to my channel!
Wow you are going to have fun sorting through all your stamps and finding some special stamps. Thankyou for showing us your stamping room, and you have a pretty view from your window out through to your garden
Hi my Zim-Australian friend! 🙂We are lucky to have a beautiful garden, and nature all around us. The bit through my work-room's window is the back/side of the garden and not really garden, but it is a pleasure to see out like that. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!! 😊
Wow just wow, you certainly have a lot of stamps to sort through! I thought I had a lot of stamps! Great going through your stamp room with you! Look forward to updates as your doing them! Take care
Hallo Schuey. :) Yes, I enjoyed the buying very much. I truly cannot wait to sort and enjoy the stamps! I will stop buying for now. I need to know what stamps I have before buying more, otherwise I am going to make stupid decisions about what to buy. Lots of very best wishes to you!
Holy Moly Charnie - what a Legend !! That collection has truly exploded. You have got years of fun ahead of you !! I know how the hoarding phase can become addictive !! Look forward to seeing what you continue to post about. For me its all about the history and the story the stamps can tell as well as the amazing art work.
Hi John, :) yes, I feel as if I have an abundance of pleasure waiting for me sorting through all those stamps. I also enjoy all the things I am learning thanks to the stamps, and the miniature art works is such a source of wonder! That is why I enjoy your stamp videos so much, because you allow one to enjoy the stamps and their appearance. 🙂Thanks for watching!!!!!!!!!!!

สวัสดีคุณสุทัต. ขอบคุณมากสำหรับการรับชมและแสดงความคิดเห็น! ฉันยังคงหลงเสน่ห์แสตมป์และฉันชอบที่จะทำงานกับแสตมป์เหล่านั้น ฉันเห็นด้วยกับคุณว่าการเรียงลำดับอย่างเงียบ ๆ กลายเป็นเหมือนการทำสมาธิ - ผ่อนคลายมาก แสตมป์ยังกระตุ้นให้เราเรียนรู้มากมายอีกด้วย ฉันคิดว่าภูมิปัญญาน่าจะมาจากการอดทนต่อกระบวนการ คุณแสดงความคิดเห็นได้น่าสนใจมาก ขอขอบคุณอีกครั้ง! คุณต้องสนุกกับการสะสมแสตมป์ของคุณด้วย คุณจะสะสมอะไรถ้าคุณไม่รังเกียจที่ฉันถาม ฉันเขียนสิ่งนี้ด้วย Google แปล ฉันหวังว่ามันจะแปลได้อย่างถูกต้องและคุณจะไม่ได้รับคำตอบที่ไร้สาระ 😀

Hi my Zim-Australian friend! 🙂We are lucky to have a beautiful garden, and nature all around us. The bit through my work-room's window is the back/side of the garden and not really garden, but it is a pleasure to see out like that. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!! 😊
Wow just wow, you certainly have a lot of stamps to sort through! I thought I had a lot of stamps! Great going through your stamp room with you! Look forward to updates as your doing them! Take care
Hallo Schuey. :) Yes, I enjoyed the buying very much. I truly cannot wait to sort and enjoy the stamps! I will stop buying for now. I need to know what stamps I have before buying more, otherwise I am going to make stupid decisions about what to buy. Lots of very best wishes to you!
Holy Moly Charnie - what a Legend !! That collection has truly exploded. You have got years of fun ahead of you !! I know how the hoarding phase can become addictive !! Look forward to seeing what you continue to post about. For me its all about the history and the story the stamps can tell as well as the amazing art work.
Hi John, :) yes, I feel as if I have an abundance of pleasure waiting for me sorting through all those stamps. I also enjoy all the things I am learning thanks to the stamps, and the miniature art works is such a source of wonder! That is why I enjoy your stamp videos so much, because you allow one to enjoy the stamps and their appearance. 🙂Thanks for watching!!!!!!!!!!!
@@GreatStampAdventure thanks for the kind words Charnie. Same to you.
Holy Dinah! So many stamps! I can't wait to see what you do with them all. 💖
Many, many stamps! I will try to bring it to a good conclusion. Thanks for watching and commenting, Mark! 😊
