Ourdadsstamps

In todays episode we talk about the penny black, the world's first ever postage stamp. In it we answer the questions, how much is a penny black worth?, why did a stamp dealer buy a house in Bury St. Edmunds?, and why have I got 11 penny blacks?

This was originally broadcast on my wife's "Allaboutyou" podcast about a month ago. In it we find out what is the world's most expensive stamp, what is an inverted Jenny, and who is Stuart Weitzman? 

Additionally I am pleased to report that my podcasts have just been voted 4th best stamp collecting podcast by Feedspot Top 10 Stamp Collecting Podcasts You Must Follow in 2021 (feedspot.com)

In this episode I continue the story of my journey into stamp collecting. We talk about swapping First Day Covers for car tyres, artistic covers from the trenches in WW1 and how I decided on the name "Ourdadsstamps"

In this first episode we talk about my early introduction to stamp collecting and learn how the Royal Navy played a big part. We also answer the question "Who was Stanley Gibbons?", "What is a tuppenny blue?" and "Why have I got so many Maltese stamps?"
