Graham Beck, from the Youtube video channel, "Exploring Stamps"
does an amazing job introducing the next generation to Philately. His latest video looks at the United States "Cattle in the Storm" to ask the question... "Is this the most Beatiful U.S. Stamp"?
Let's show Graham some love and visit his site and take a listen.
In the video he mentions Canada's "Bluenose" as a contender for the most Beautiful stamp of all -- so in my video we will look at both stamps.

We are offering some of the lots on his original pages so you can see for yourself. The highlights of this outstanding collection include #62X2 on a 4-page circular, #1 used horizontal strip of 10, #3a unique strip of 5 on a cover, #5 Cammann imprint variety, #10a original gum horizontal strip of 4 and used strip of 6 plus single on a piece of a cover, and the unique #13d double bisect on cover, as well as many phenomenal frankings on adversity and wallpaper covers including one Trans-Mississippi.
