    I usually think of CTO's as being sold to foreign collectors. It never occurred to me that people would buy their own country's CTO's

      Yes, there are so many differences in collecting habits around the world.

    Hello Ted, I really liked the video you made, thank you very much. Thank you very much for the information about optional channels on stamps. I believe I will find some of them great. Keep up the good work on your interesting channel, and I promise to send more Israel stamps real soon. This time new with tabs. Hope you liked them too

    Nice selection, Ted. I was surprised to see the astronaut and zeppelin issues among the Romanian stamps as these were among the first that I bought in a bulklot when I started collecting in the 90s.

    Thank you for sharing another great video Ted. I use a product called Un-Du Adhesive Remover to remove USA stamps from backing paper. I Place 4-5 drops on the reverse of the stamp and wait about 30 seconds. The stamp peels off fairly easily. I let the stamp dry a few minutes then dust the still very sticky back with talcum powder ( I would avoid organic products like corn starch). I reserve this sort of rigmarole for only very special US stamps that are near and dear to my heart. lol

    • @tedtalksstamps
      @tedtalksstamps  3 года назад +1

      I agree with your last statement. I could see doing this for particular stamps I come across and need. Probably not practical for big lots.

    I never understood my fellow collectors' disdain for CTO stamps. When they come in sets, they are a wonderful addition to anyone's collection.

    • @tedtalksstamps
      @tedtalksstamps  3 года назад

      In China, I’ve read, CTOs are the preferred state of stamps to collect.

    • @fishplateowner
      @fishplateowner 3 года назад +1

      If a set is more than I want to pay, I will take a look at the cto and decide how it works with the design. I was looking at some first day cancelled Germany Bunds - the cancels were elaborate and centered! obfuscating the stamp beneath.

    • @tedtalksstamps
      @tedtalksstamps  3 года назад +1

      @@fishplateowner for me, as with many other collectors, the placement and heaviness of the cancel is as important as whether a mint stamp is Never Hinged. Unless it’s a nice neat socked-on-the-nose postmark, cancels that obscure the face of the stamp are much less desirable. That’s why, in listings for classic used stamps, especially British monarch definitives, dealers will often point out “face-free” cancels.

    An admin in one of my Facebook stamp collecting groups advises using a soak in lighter fluid (ventilated and without heat/flame, of course!) for getting self-adhesive stamps off paper.

    • @tedtalksstamps
      @tedtalksstamps  3 года назад +2

      I imagine that could become quite costly (and dangerous) for large batches of stamps such as the Israeli batch in this video.
