Hey buddy, I do love your long drawn-out episodes they're great entertainment that any stamper would love. You do make your Chanell so very interesting, and I love it. You don't come on for 10 or 15 minutes but for 1 to 2 hrs. I love it pal keep them coming. you are so good at what you do.
Great show. The Royal Mail started very early (in the late 1960s) to make their stamps more attractive for collectors. They issued a wide variety of stamps, gutter pairs, presentation packs, stamp booklets and definitive varieties, so it´s not always easy to stay up to date with all of these items. And since 1969, some of their smaller isles (Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man, Alderney) got independent postal administrations. They were very popular especially in the 1970s with rising prices. Keep it up, and see you on the next one ! 👍Greets from GER, U.
Hi Kyle! Some relaxing time spent with you and your stamps. Very nice episode. Thanks!!! One small thing: the Gold Coast was a British colony in West Africa. It later became Ghana. It is not the area in Australia. But, New South Wales is an Australian state. And, yes, Victoria is also an Australian state. I also like British stamps, including the classic stamps (I like the detail in them) and machins (so classic), but you are right, the modern stamps are usually really beautiful. Yes, I enjoyed the journey. 🙂
😁I'm glad you enjoyed! Thanks for clarification about the Gold Coast, I had some others tell me that too, lol. I had no idea... One day I would like to make a British album for sure, when $ permits!
It would be impossible to put a catalogue number on the back of stamps as they are issued. Catalogue makers don't assign numbers until after the stamp has been issued.
Putting a catalogue number on the back of stamps would be confusing especially for new collectors. US would have Scott numbers, British stamps would have Stanley Gibbons numbers, French stamps would have Yvert numbers, German stamps would have Michel numbers etc. Just an FYI the "T" in Kiribati is pronounced like as "S" so it is like Kir-a -bas. The Gold Coast stamps overprinted Ghana Independence are actually some of the first stamps of Ghana and should be in that folder. Stamps from Davaar Island are not issued by the UK Government so they are considered British locals. New South Wales is an Australian state. Great video as usual.
GOLD COAST is in Africa, not Australia.Situated in Africa near Ghana. A coast on the gulf of Guinea in Western Africa along the southern shore of the Republic of Ghana.Since 1957 joined Ghana.
I see, Wikipedia says "The Gold Coast was a British Crown colony on the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa from 1821 until its independence in 1957 as Ghana. The term Gold Coast is also often used to describe all of the four separate jurisdictions that were under the administration of the Governor of the Gold Coast." Thanks for the clarification!

@@KylesStamps ... when $$ permit ... yes, a constraint indeed, but then, if one could buy anything you see, it might not have been exciting at all. 🙂
The cancel you asked about at 1h 41m which was an R, I believe is a registered mail cancel
Thank you!

Yeah, I guess it would be a bit of an issue having the numbers... Just a pipe dream anyways, lol. Thanks Robert!
