    Well you made my day. I am glad that you liked the stamps. Your enthusiasm for collecting is what makes me continue to watch and encourage others to play into forward. I am glad that it made it to you with out getting damaged. I worked for the Post Office for 31 years and I make sure the mail I send is well packaged. I just retired and spending more time with my stamps. I am going to go back binge your previous video s and get another group for you. In your world wide stamp collecting, do you want mint or used. You and your family have a wonderful weekend and as always Happy Collecting Ken

      My family thinks I am insane when I get hyper exited over certain stamps. I'm just glad I'm not the only one.

    The old rule of thumb was, DO NOT purchase a stamp album that costs MORE than the stamps it will hold.

    • @silkontheweb
      @silkontheweb  9 месяцев назад +1

      Definitely a school of thought... though I'm after the set of USA, and can't wait to see them all on the shelf... :)

    I started collecting coins and then stamps in the early seventies. Some of my fondest memories from that time is gathering my collection and meeting with a group of around 5 or 6 fellow collectors to trade and some times buy or sell outright. I can still remember some of the trades one time I bought a baseball mitt for a friend in exchange for a Trade Dollar. Many of our trade would be non traditional, what fun.

    When I see your videos in my notification list it is with such expectation that I view them, and I am never disappointed. Thank you for this video! Wonderfully generous gift you got! The stamp community is so generous and special. Like the new album as well.

    Love the album I would assume this is a mint unhinged album. I'm still trying to figure out the ways I would like to display my collection, but I've found it depends on the stamps or items related. Happy hunting and most of all have fun with the Hobbie. Fellow 35 yr plus collector 😊

    • @silkontheweb
      @silkontheweb  8 месяцев назад +1

      Agreed! One of my favorite parts of the hobby... so many little projects you can undertake, working towards a system that you like best... I finally feel like I'm closing in on it!

      Yea I have been collecting for about 30 years and it’s gotten so much out of hand that I’ve converted a room in my house into a PHILATELIC LIBRARY! Sometimes I sleep in there.

    Thank you for another great video Mr Silk , it's good to see you with your stamps. I will have to look and see if i have any for you . I generally collect GB pre-decimal stamps and i agree that having a good album like the davo or Windsor stamp album really gives the best start for a good collection. Let me know if you are looking for any GB stamps. What a good idea to start a swap club 🙂. Happy New year Mr Silk, Terry from Devon uk .

      I am a Gb collector currently working on Jersey so unfortunately do not have any US stamps to trade but am learning loads about them from your infectious vids. I wish I could afford Davo albums but they are very expensive in the uk, your collection is coming along nicely, I’m jealous!

    • @silkontheweb
      @silkontheweb  9 месяцев назад +1

      Such a drawback... they are so pricey... but as I tell Mrs. Silk, I could be restoring an old car....... :)
