So Amazing Stamp Collection that is shown in the Video. I am a lover and collector of ancient Indonesian and foreign stamps.

I am a member of APS since 2017. Your local stamp club has members who will guide you in becoming a member. That is how I became a member through the work of another member of the club that somehow had wangled a few months intro into the APS which was a short membership free of charge. So for about 4 months I received the Philatelic monthly. I immediately fell in love with this publication and paid the annual dues and started to receive the monthly. If you do nothing but receive and read the monthly, that alone is worth the dues you paid. Anyone who wants to be educated about this hobby and in depth knowledge is usually lacking in non-members, I recommend that you join the APS

One side note, the new high-tech bright, two-story library space seen at 3:45 had its grand opening in October 2016. It's a beautiful space and the largest philatelic library in the world.

Precioso vídeo buen trabajo amigo gracias por compartir un abrazo buenas noches 👏👏👏👍👌

This video provides a great overview of the hobby and the services that the APS offers. I'm hoping that more of these are produced. Lots of potential here to connect new people with the hobby through this medium.

How to join APS,?email me the procedures ?how to collect stamps of all?

The problem with old organisations is that they are not modernised. It is like a Mammuttanker (ship) if you need a new route, the otherway, i takes much to long to turn the ship. The Philatelic rules of what and what not to collect is based on the dealers wants, not the onsumers wants. That was normal a century ago. These beacons in Philately have not modernised, the old greyhaired people on the top do nothing else than try to get the good times back, by the old fashioned ways. They hope to sell the old stamps, we want modern topic stamps, but because the dealers have money in old stamps, they promote the old ones. The fake stories about a boy who found a 3 skilling yellow or a British Guyana red, its all fake, but people believed in it for more than a century. There are billions invested in old stamps, the money will never get out of this, take your loss and Philately can go on in the future. No magazine promotes new stamps, not because collectors are not interested, because there is no money invested by dealers. So the next step to open the eyes of the dealers could be, that you ask a few 1000 dollar for your modern, rare stamps. If its rare, like personalised stamps, you can do that. Rare used modern too. Ask a few 1000 for it. A century ago, not one stamp was thrown away, a stamp issued 10,000 all 10,000 are in a safe somewhere. They wont get more rare at all. Modern stamps are already rare when issued. In this video is the standard story, like centuries ago, you go to a show, buy some stamps, we know that. Why not split the hobby up in different parts? The general collector doesnt exist. Old stamps are overpriced. When the prices stabilize new collectors will step in. But there are more penny blacks than collectors. In the past most collectors bought 10-100 duplicates at the post offices. "for the grandchildren" no one talks about that. The modern collector buys and sells on the internet for much lower prices than Retailers can. Thats the modern world, while dealers still try to sell old stamps, like in the past, the past will not will come back, no it wont come back. Accept that and invest in modern stamps, they can make a profit of 100's %. Thats what i do too. Old common collections make prices less than 10% cat value. And the prices of this still go down. The first thing for modernisation is get the grey hair people out. Past is over. Respect the collector, they bring the money. Sell what they want instead of selling your old dusty stamps. Every auction has 1000's of rare stamps, rare stamps are not rare.
