I would not take anything out and keep it as it is because of the sentimental value.
Nice to see an album like this.
Nice video, you should do when I've bought old albums off Ebay & the stamps are stuck to the pages, just rip the page out & soak it in a bowl of Luke warm water!
I received one of those albums in a lot I purchased some time ago. I noted that you said you did not collect USA. I have a love-hate relationship with USA stamps. Some of the paper used for printing stamps seems to be quite poor quality, other papers have more guts in the make-up. What I do not like - and so many countries are doing this - is self-adhesive stamps, what a pain! I did find a product called 'Bestine' which does the job, but it evaporates very quickly and is pricey. I did hear there is, or was, a move among American collectors to ban collecting USA stamps in protest of self-adhesives. Personally, I do believe self-adhesives could cause some damage to the future of collecting - but, perhaps that is just my bias. Thanks for sharing. Bryan
good day to u Sir,,, i have also plenty of collections of old stamps from Philippines and a foreign stamps.. i have collected old coins...watching u from Philippines.
Hi John. I really enjoyed this episode about your first stamp album. I started collecting stamps when I was 8 or 9 years. I bought my first stamp album when I was 10 years. Here is what it looked like. I bought it at the Forest Lawn Drugstore which had recently annexed by the city of Calgary in 1961. I bought it in 1965. This is illustrated with my theme in youtube. Thanks.
GREAT. If you still want to upgrade the 1st album.u could give it a clean and take the pages to be guillotined to let's say A4, and then get some mounts and every so add the set of stamps to each country. Also you could add a mount to the 2 images on the top which you could put the stamp they represent in. I bet that would be a great idea. MERRY CHRISTMAS from Greece.
I did not see anything of any note from a monetary standpoint but I am sure that the album has a high sentimental value. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. I didn't expect that it contained anything significant, but as you say, the album means the world to me for it's significance in getting me into this great hobby. It's also a link to my mum, sadly she passed away 24 years ago, whe I was in my
20s.

Thank you for the interesting video and for sharing your first stamp album. I also found the tit bits of information about the album, stamps and countries interesting. Looking forward to more videos from you. 🙂
A wonderful video! Thank you so much for sharing part of your collection with us. Also thank you for the shout out. Looking forward to future videos.
Thanks Smokey, I'm enjoying making the videos, and people seem to like watching!
I enjoyed seeing your first stamp album. I collect U.S. and worldwide. I didn’t see anything remarkable on the pages, but what memories for you! Thanks and Happy New Year!
Thanks for watching, and commenting. Happy New Year to you too!
Thanks John, Great video.
The $2 US stamp is apparently worth 3 Euros if it's used. Had it been mint and not stuck into the album it would have been worth 15 Euros. It's part of a Presidential series from 1938.
Thanks for ID'ing the stamp
Your Album and my XLCR stamp finder were printed at the stamp factory Rhyl. All the best
Love that album! It’s beautiful.
I love it too, I can vividly remember my sister giving it to me when I was 9 years old, I was amazed by the contents and fell in love with stamps there and then.
Thank you for video! Very intresting to see an old collection from childhood... It brings back memories and is very sweet.
Hello from Ukraine!
Glad you enjoyed it, hope you are safe and ok in Ukraine.
@@johncollectsstamps yes, thank you sir
My mum had exact same album. Still got it as holds so many memories when she gifted it to me in the 1970’s.
That's brilliant, love it
Wish I still had my first stamp album, god knows what happened to it. I stopped collecting around the age of 14 and started again some 30 years later. Thank you for the video John, nice to see your first album.
I'm still trying to track down the other album I mentioned in the video - I definitely have it somewhere, in the loft in a box.
Be nice to see it when you find it.
Yay! A new episode!
Thanks for watching!
I do notice stamps from Denmark carry a premium higher than many other European countries but you have to check.
Nice video, nice to see an old album. There's nothing valuable in there on terms of monetary value as they are all pretty common, nice little collection
I didn't think there was any value other than sentimental. Thanks for watching.
Curious how big your Canadian stamp collection is.
I only have a limited Canadian collection, mainly George VI, early Elizabeth eras
Can u help me how to sell my posted stamps collection mostly Philippines Sir John..
I have no knowledge or experience of Phillipines Stamps, can I suggest you post on a stamp forum, maybe you can find a Phillipines collector who could help you.
