In this episode, unbox and explore with me the contents of my World Stamp Album purchase from TradeMe. As I browse through the album's pages, you'll see a diverse array of stamps from approximately 66 countries across all continents. Notably, the largest number of stamps per country is from Romania, Poland, South Africa, Zambia, Indonesia, Korea, Mongolia, the Philippines, and the United Arab Emirates. The collection predominantly features more recent Cancelled-to-Order (CTO) stamps, and largely more recent stamps. There are, however, a handful stamps which were postally cancelled, and some mint stamps. A few stamps are older, dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries. While the CTOs may not hold significant worth for a collection, there were many stamps that I will be able to use in my own collections — African stamps, wildlife-themed stamps, and aesthetically captivating ones. Join me in assessing whether my NZ$28 investment, including postage, for this album proves to be a worthwhile purchase.
