You are absolutely right, Craig. I was hornswoggled by Bing AI Chat, which in its attempt not to sound plagiarised, left out an important detail. The 600,000 figure is the number of 1/ stamps printed in that 15 year period. Thanks for pointing that out. However, the 4d rose is far from the scarcest value, as the first 4 stamps had printings of 12k, 66k, 8k, and 29k. Those numbers come from nzstams.org.uk who got their numbers from The Postage Stamps of New Zealand Vol 1, published by the Royal Philatelic Society of New Zealand in 1938. www.nzstamps.org.uk/chalon/chalon1/index.html
Awesome purchases. I like especially the old Bavarian items, some of the mill wheel cancels can be quite pricey, depending on the numbers. Bummer that your recent trip to Germany wasn´t successful, crazy times over here. Greets from GER, U.
Nice episode an nice copy of Canada 206i well centered. The quality of the color and perforations is superb. This hinged copy in Canada retails for $30 (DollardCanadion of course). The quality of engraving from this period is perfect. Merci pour cette présentation.
Thanks Yves. My only complaint with that line pair is that the hinge is warping the stamp, which is more easily visible in real life than it is in the video. In the video, you can see some curvature in the stamp at the 5th center perf hole from the top, going through the S in Postes. I can live with that, though.
@@tedtalksstamps Hello Ted, have you tried placing these stamps between two sheets of paper, placing this assembly on a flat base and using it with a cast iron pan that you can fill with books. So that they reach the edge of the pan. Add larger volumes one at a time each day, to make a good pile. Gradually over a week or two. The stamp paper should return to its shape.
The problem is that the hinge is attached and the adhesive has gotten dry and hard. The plain stamp paper reacts (expanding, curling, or lying flat, etc) differently than the hinged area of the stamp with the dry hard adhesive. I don’t think pressing the stamp will be able to help that.
Hi Ted, great and fun video with lots of news bits and breaking news. You are getting quite with it. 😉🙂The Kaiser's Yacht stamps are beautiful! I naturally also enjoyed your facts about the New Zealand Chalon stamps. It is sad when a country really stops making stamps ... so hopefully Iceland will have some more unplanned issues in future. ... I actually viewed this video a while ago, but just missed the very last part - but even watching a second time was a joy. Thanks!
Thank you very much Ted for another interesting video and for sharing your knowledge for those beauties. It was interesting to learn about the story behind the Vatican stamp. Lately I have noticed more political propaganda on both Ukrainian and Russian stamps. Probably the most interesting example is the use of some Ukrainian regions on Russian stamps. Stamps are still used nowadays to pass messages to the public. For this reason collectors should be interested in history and politics as well. All the best for December from a Cypriot-Polish subscriber.
You do what my grandmother must have done back in the 1930's. She had stamp sales besides having her own collection which I now have. However, there are no really costly stamps. She even won awards for her collection at philatelic shows. She must have sold the better stamps, which I wish I had. I am trying to get rarer stamps, but back then they would have been easier and cheaper to get.
Good to hear you have continued your grandmother's collection. I, myself, have very few stamps of very high value, although, going forward, I am concentrating more on buying a small number of higher valued stamps and less on a large number of cheap ones, if only because after this experience of moving to Portugal, I do not want a huge number of stamps to contend with again. After all, philately is not a contest where he who dies with the most stamps wins. Thanks for watching.
Many nice stamps. I was wondering the Bavarian stamps are for you number 10 and 11. In the German catalogue they are 9 and 10. The stamp with the cancellation 421 is from Reichenhall, this is near Salzburg. It is not one of the rare ones, but better than cancels from Munich, Augsburg, Würzburg etc. The cancellation is 5 - 10$ worth. I liked the first stamp from New Zealand a lot. There are several real nice sets from this country. I also experienced that Panama stamps are very rare, even if they are cheap in the catalogue. Difficult to find in good condidtion. Many prices in the catalogues for such countries are too low, nobody seems to have a look on them and copy the old prices from the former catalague. This makes no work. Only my personal impression. Good buys.
Hi Oliver. It looks like there re 2 varieties of the 6kr brown, which Scott lists as #3 and #5. Michel lists them as #4 Type I and #4 Type II. Thus the numberings are 1 number out of sync after that.
Today, I learn the joint line in philatelic world I collect stamp over 43 years I never know this, I collect single set or single stamp, many thanks, Ted :)
I'm glad I could help you Filipe. Even among US collectors, line pairs are not as popular or well known as they once were. I started collecting in 1974 (wow, my 50th anniversary is coming up; I smell a special YT episode in my future ), when collecting tastes and styles were different.
Recent days I start organiser my US stamps but dificult indentified in early stamp and once again thanks your reply and your video Ted :)@@tedtalksstamps
What a small world! I just received a few stamps from Tim Green this week. Also, your stamp pictures are always so clear and crisp. Do you use a scanner or phone or what?
I think it's probably because Canadian collectors don't generally take that as a collecting area, just as with Swedish line pairs, Swedes don't collect them so they are not generally kept intact as pairs.
Where r u located? My great uncle collected money and stamps. He passed in the 70’s and my great aunt, his wife, gave me an envelope full of US and foreign stamps. I have them in an album, but have no knowledge or expertise with stamps. Do you evaluate/appraise collections? If so, how can I contact you? Thank you! (I live in MD. USA)
How the young generation can be attracted to philately? This is important otherwise in coming years it's dead hobby. Government should be written to promote it on line

Interesting video. I'm not sure where you got your figures for NZ Chalons from. There were 120,000 of the 4d Rose printed, the scarcest denomination.

Greetings. Yeah, it seems to be getting crazy everywhere. Good thing I have my stamps to keep me sane.

All Ted's are smart buyers. LOL. Very nice acquisitions.
Can't argue with you. LOL Thanks.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your comments.
Great video Ted! I also have a collection of the early German states. I think they are so attractive and give any collection good eye appeal.
Thanks Adam. I agree.

Wonderful stamps 👏 👏 👏
Thank you.
Looking forward to the main event of your next episode! Happy Stamping Ted! And happy belated Thanksgiving!
Hi Dan. I'll have that video up in the next day or so. Happy Thanksgiving to you too, as well as the upcoming holidays.
Thank you
You’re welcome.
Nice purchases!
Thank you.
Nice episode Ted.
Thank you, Sara.
Hope you are doing well love you blogs
Thank you John. I appreciate the kind words.
FRESH TED TALKS
😀
What a small world! I just received a few stamps from Tim Green this week. Also, your stamp pictures are always so clear and crisp. Do you use a scanner or phone or what?
I use a scanner and scan at very high resolutions, 900 or 1200 dpi.
I collect US joint line pairs but had no idea that Canada had them also.
I think it's probably because Canadian collectors don't generally take that as a collecting area, just as with Swedish line pairs, Swedes don't collect them so they are not generally kept intact as pairs.
Nice German state stamps there, I love the Swiss stamps too, beautifully designed.
Thanks, Jerry. If I had to limit my collection to just two countries (which I'm actually trying to do) it would be Germany and Switzerland.
Awesome :-)
Thanks, Nisarg.
As far as I’m concerned, a person just can’t have too many Kaiser’s Yacht stamps.
That's what I'm talkin bout.😄
I agree. Tape and stamps are a bad combination!
The worst.
I really liked the German States but the Canada pair was superb. Good podc as
Podcast, that is. So hard to do on my tablet.
@franinvirginia4475 I knew what you meant.😉
Thanks, Fran. The more I delve into German States, the more I like that area.
Where r u located? My great uncle collected money and stamps. He passed in the 70’s and my great aunt, his wife, gave me an envelope full of US and foreign stamps. I have them in an album, but have no knowledge or expertise with stamps. Do you evaluate/appraise collections? If so, how can I contact you? Thank you! (I live in MD. USA)
That's if Iceland exists [volcano explosion might affect all Iceland]
Maybe that's what happens when you stop presenting offerings to the gods of philately.
How the young generation can be attracted to philately?
This is important otherwise in coming years it's dead hobby.
Government should be written to promote it on line
I think the hobby will be around for a long time, yet.
👏👏👏👍
