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.

Country Collection Lots, Singles and Sets - April 17, 2025
with AutoHammer
This sale is mostly single country starter lots plus a number of singles and sets. In fact we purchased 8 worldwide collections with mostly Scott Internationals to create them. We suggest that a great way to start collecting a country is to buy a number of collection lots, merge them, learn what you like and then pursue the more expensive items, and you can do that with these lots. this is one of many efforts we do at StampAuctionNetwork to build up the next generation of stamp collectors. I expect there will be some seasoned bidders on these lots also, as some of these countries are in demand, and this is often where you find bonus items as none of these lots have been picked for single lot sales.
