The Most Rare, Valuable, and Prettiest Postage Stamps in the 1950s [Ep. 89] 

Hey steady teddy my friend. I loved your book preview. Awesome. you keep us going pal, thanx.🙂

2:13 I have that issue. My grandfather saved it in 1954 and I still have it today. He wrote on the cover "Keep this all of the time". Like many back then he thought stamps were good investment. I found it in a box in my father's Attic in 1994 when I was 14. Weird how I remember the details eh? It has some neat ads in it especially with the full-page ad of The Red Cadillac Sixty Special.

Interesting video - thank you! I really enjoyed the content of the second magazine - definitely a keeper!

Thanks for this presantation always educative as I like.

As someone who collects both stamps and vintage magazines (millenial here!), I like this video :) I appreciate the magazine is in quite good condition, and not bound like many other magazines, so it is easier to scan and show.

Thanks for sharing.

Fascinating! Thanks for the podcast.

Hi Ted - thanks for this most interesting video with LIFE Magazine featuring the world’s most expensive stamps !! Really enjoyed this - thank-you !!

Thank you for sharing Ted. Vintage stamp magazines are great. Love them!!

A very interesting video. Thank you posting it.

Wow, did this video ever strike a chord with me! Back in the day, there was such a thing called a "paper store," often strategically located near train and subway stations. And what did you see? Inside there were racks and racks of every imaginable magazine and comic you could think of. Outside, there was usually a table displaying the latest and most popular magazines of which Life was always positioned first. Over the years, I've haunted antique stores with treasure troves of old Lifes and picked up several favorites. Somehow, though, I never encountered the two stamp issues you featured in the vid. Thanks so much for the education and trip down memory lane.

Fascinating video! I really enjoyed it!

I knew of the first LIFE magazine you showed, but had never heard of the second. In any case, I really appreciate you looking into both of them and showing all the pages where stamps were concerned. Now I want to get the 1959 issue and build a small topical collection of all the stamps featured as the most beautiful.

Thank you, Ted. What an interesting and highly enjoyable video. I loved it. Amazing how that stamp of Austria could be enlarged so much, and still look so magnificent. I agree with the beauty of African biodiversity on stamps!

Awesome Research :-)

Nice Video... Thanks!!

I saw that, impressive, but there no stamp collection yet known or discovered like mine.

wow very fascinating!

Twaskyou sr for all information the world of stamps and value very interesting.

You mentioned famous modern stamp collectors. John Lennon was one and also Freddy Mercury. And of course Queen Elisabeth II had a world class collection.

I had one of those along with a few other different magazines the titles of which are as lost in the grey matter as my magazines are to flood damage 🥺

❤❤❤

Did John DuPont leave his mark on that first stamp?

Makazine life, buy in Thailand.
