This month’s video is live! Watch me talk about how the postal service honors the art world, going from 1867 up to the folk art series from the past few decades. #stamps #philately youtu.be/dqr-46-UOqg

I also had this year’s priority express stamp, but I love the old national park series. #xtremephilately

The biggest US stamp next to the smallest US stamps #stamps #philately

Spoiler: this stamp did not get made

Got my before-and-after pictorial cancels for the name change of Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty! They’re available from their post office until the end of the month if you want to send off for them. (Also, I’m a big fan of these endangered species stamps.) #usps #stamps

I’ve got my next episode done except for filming an intro. Catching a flight tomorrow, and I’ll be doing my first #xtremephilately for a video!

This month’s video is up! Watch me talk a bit about statehood anniversary stamps - mostly in my office, but also on the side of a highway in rural Wisconsin! youtu.be/pr0qygM3QC0

A postmark date earlier than the first day of issue (June 13)

I'm not at #GASS2023, but I did post a new video! I talk about the first set of stamps released for the "heroes of peace": artists, authors, inventors, etc. The PO polled collectors for who they wanted to see on a stamp, and the winner might surprise you! youtu.be/WIHl9NsjaV0

Is this the right kind of duck stamp?

Sorry for not posting a video in a couple months, I’m currently on paternity leave. I did want to show off this set of 17(!) pictorial postmarks from the California State Fair - one for each day.

2023 Stamp Yearbook came today!

Neat! Still taking paternity leave on the channel, but I’ll be back soon.

There were more than a dozen solar eclipse postmarks that you can still get for another week or two - I’ve started getting some of mine back! Check out the April 4th postal bulletin for where to send off for them.

This is a fun one: I cut up the color-separated proof sheets from the Underground Railroad portfolio and got digital color postmarks for them!
