Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow! What a treasure. . . THANK YOU for sharing. . . Whoever is the giver, i also wanna say Thank you to him/her that now this is being shared for us from around the globe to see. . .even the album? my very 1st to see such. . . Inspired! (I started to collect the GB QE 11 Machin stamps a week ago and since stamps started in GB, i am starting also to collect GB stamps..)

What a wonderful collection. I actually find it quite poignant to see how much love and care went into collecting it. I'm so pleased that someone equally as passionate now owns it

Great video John, whoever owned this collection belonged to a society and these are presentation albums for show,s i think. Congratulations on 800 subscribers, soon be a thousand. Here, here, on the monetary side. We don't all expect something for nothing and anything to enhance the production e.g lighting cameras etc is worth it in my mind. Keep em coming.

Someone definitely put a lot of love into that collection. It has another great home now.

Lucky you.

What a wonderful gift you received ! Those two IoM collections are GREAT ! Thanks for sharing with us what you're learning about being a video-ographer / KZfaq content creator..... I hope you continue with your videos; I enjoy them and learned today about spring-back albums. Happy Collecting !

Wonderful video! I am too often taken aback by the generosity of people in the stamping community, what a wonderful gesture by your viewer. Also, I agree those collections are beautiful and it would be very sad indeed to alter them. Thanks again for your wonderful videos.

HI John, great video my friend. So glad you enjoyed both albums and agree no.2 is a bit special. On hindsight I totally agree breaking up the collection is a bit of a no no, All the best.

WOW! Someone certainly put a lot of time, research and effort into putting together those albums. They are beautiful. Congratulation on surpassing the 800 subscriber mark. I have no doubt you will reach 1000 by June because of the great quality of content of your videos. I have certainly learned a lot especially about the Machins. Nothing wrong with monetizing. It takes a lot of effort and time to make your videos no doubt. And you generosity is outstanding. Looking forward to your next video. Happy Stamping and Happy Easter.

excellent postage stamps

Very best of luck with the $ of the channel, you do the good, hard work and we like and enjoy watching it!!! Cheers from Oz

Amazing video

I really enjoyed you going through these albums John - What fantastic collections !!!! Thanks for this !! - Jeff

This touched a nerve with me , i think they have found a good home . Kind Regards Laurence .

Really beautiful albums! I can see why you don't want to break them up. They will be a joy forever. I also like those labels with the gold print. Fit the album well. Thanks so much for sharing the generous gift! And congratulations with your channel's growth. Excellent! Nothing wrong with monetization in my opinion. It takes a lot of time to make these videos, there are costs involved, and you give a lot of information and value to your viewers! Go ahead. I am sure nobody would mind.

That second album is espcially a stunner. Wow. I am envious John and I hope all is well with you. I am looking forward to a trip to London in mid May. By the way, I am not offended and the transparency is appreciated.

Congrats on 800 subscribers What a wonderful gift

Too modern for my own limited taste, but what a super collection nonetheless!! Great video. Cheers from Qld Ozstralia!!

There's no need to be embarrassed about making a penny or two!
