    I haven't been to a Stamp Show for years but will probably go to the next local one here (Vancouver, BC area). I just have to do the work before hand and have an idea of what I'm looking for or I'll end up buying a lot more than I really have use for.

    It has been my experience that there are two types of dealers at stamps shows. Those that have mostly inexpensive stamps and those that have pricier stamps. Since I was born pretty instead of rich and still need a lot of inexpensive stamps I tend to gravitate to the former. Lol!

    Thanks for showing your local stamp show. I like it that most items are clearly priced. Overall a very good haul! A whole binder of covers at only $7, and 50 covers for only $5! The pages of Newfoundland stamps are also so good value! I wish I was there, and I would have spent a lot more there!

    Hi there! I was wondering if if you’d be interested in viewing my dads stamp collection that he had hiding in an old inherited trunk he owns. It was tucked away behind a false wall in it and there’s a medium sized bag FULL of stamps that I’m struggling with. The apps won’t tell me the value and I’m like how the hell am I going to get any values putting on them. But I wondered if you’d make a video going through it?

A lot of the stamps are from the UK, Canada and I’ve even seen a couple from Africa in there. But the apps I downloaded I can’t find any references that give me an idea of their value as they haven’t found any with values attached to them so I’m stumped.

      @@heatherm6105 i am not the right person to evaluate a stamp collection. Plus paying to ship it here and back again would be expensive as well. I would think there must be someone in Calgary or Edmonton who would be able to give you a value for it or perhaps you are interested in keeping it. I am honoured you thought of me for it. I certainly would have loved to have filmed it and shared it on the channel though. I hope you find someone closer to help you out. I hope you keep watching That Dad Guy :)
