Wanting to bring the joy of stamp collecting to younger generations

13 May 2015
09:59:46am
So here is the thread for the youtube videos. I'll contact APS once I post the first one.(just renewed my membership there btw yay!) I have already been working on a corresponding blog post that will give ideas and links for inexpensive supplies. Will start filming the first video this afternoon. I really really want kids/teens interested in this. I have a 7 year old and he likes it, not quite taken off with it yet but planting seeds. The APS kids section is ok, but lacking. It seems they are wanting parents to get their kids involved, which is GREAT, but realistically if a parent is not a collector themselves this is not something easy for a kid to find, and if a kid does find it, well it looks kind of boring. Kids need pictures, they want to see videos, and they want entertained. So do grown ups. Silly

re: You Tube Videos

This is great!! Blogs, videos and links - it sounds like you will be an ambassador for the hobby. Please post your blog url when you get a chance. I follow several collecting blogs.

Maybe I can get my kids to watch your videos and not endless Little Einsteins reruns (which are cool btw). Of course my 17 month old would just eat the stamps...Surprise

Congrats on your APS renewal.

A Service Dog gives a person with a disability independence. Never approach, distract or pet a working dog, especially when (s)he is in harness. Never be afraid to ask questions to the handler (parent).

Don,

That's called learning by osmosis - your 17 month old will be extremely knowledgeable about stamp collecting, unfortunately you won't have a collection to learn from after a short time. Happy

re: You Tube Videos

A friend from high school just dropped off some stamps she had that she had collected as a kid. Funny, we both collected and were good friends, yet neither of us knew we collected. You could tell the age (we try not to think of our age, eh?) by the world album she had. Most CTOs from the 70s and 80s and dunes. I told her I'd put some of the better ones up for Approvals and see if any new collector might like them. Funny she had a two Ajman sheets that I once had too. I'll put one up on a new thread when I get home from my trip because there's something weird that I had never seen on one of them that maybe some one can tell me about.

I only placed this thread here because it relates to when we were kids and collecting in the early 80s. She even had a small glassine of about 25 original Dennison - the real peel-away deal. She said, "Oh you can throw that packet out" - I told her, stamp collector's would drool over owning those 25 hinges more than the other 200 stamps she gave me. Then I explained why and she started to laugh and said "Imagine that!"

I asked her if she was sure she would never pick up the hobby again and she said yeah, no time and she really has no interest. So, that's ok. If nothing else it was good to see someone I hadn't seen in 25+ years and catch up with her. Strange how time flies and life goes in so many directions. (Ok, I'm off topic now!)

But, I think, somehow kids will one day find an interest in stamps - electronic games and not the only stimulation for a brain and certainly we will some day see kids interested in "old stuff" if they can be find a guide for them. Parents who grew up in the 70s and 80s still holding onto their old childhood collections, can easily be passed on to a new generation of grandkids at the right time (like I'm hoping to do for my nephew).

re: You Tube Videos

Just thinking, I'm all for bringing youngsters into the world of collecting stamps, have sent my 5 year old granddaughter animal stamps and parents have put a world map on the wall for her to find the countries. Have also given collecting "kits" to nephews but without the parents involvement how far will it go.
On one hand if there are fewer collectors will the price of the stamps we want go down? If more will the value of our collections rise?
Catch 22, but more collectors means more sales opportunities for everyone.

Vic, I believe we are already seeing some of the effects of values with smaller collector ranks. Values for stamps from the 1960s and 1970s have been on the decline for a few years now. This has been attributed to collections and accumulations coming on to the market as collectors have been passing on. These stamps have flooded the market, and are not easy to sell as a good number of collectors have these stamps already. Let's see what happens to values of stamps from other years in the next five or so years.

re: You Tube Videos

Anglophile, that is exactly what I do with my kid, but a lot of parents don't have a ton of time, and know nothing about it themselves. I started collecting at 10 years old, (this is the age group I want to bring the hobby to 10ish and up.) I looked up how to do everything at the library. We didn't have the internet. I could always ask my dad questions because he had collected stamps as a kid. What I want to do is bring stamp collecting to people who have never heard of it before kids and adults. In some countries it is very easy to start, people know people who collect stamps. Everyone has heard of it. I will be telling the kids to get their parents involved, to tell them they want to collect stamps, start saving off envelopes Etc. This will highly encourage parental evolvement I hope, but facing facts here in the US parents don't spend time with their kids much. Kids are smart and resourceful. YouTube is their playground. (Have you ever googled "I'm bored what to do"? Surprise stamp collecting needs to come up in this search!)

I love the Smithsonian link by the way! This is awesome, it can be added to what kids can do.

To be honest I am not well and I can't work much at the moment. Volunteering is a lot of fun for me and this will be something that my son can use too. I haven't used my blog too much but I have one and can restart with new topic matter. I have not done anything quite like this before, and maybe it will be good, maybe it wont, but you won't know unless you try. Maybe someone who is better then I am will take off with this idea and run with it. In any case in the words of Yoda "Do or do not. There is no Try"

There is definitely power of positivity in your posts, Alanna! My wife, Adrienne and I said that we have been grumbling too much lately. Today we woke up and decided not to say a single negative thing today. Wish us luck.Big Grin

@Poodle_mum - HAHAHA. yes, but it might be a way to dispose of duplicates! I'll leave those diapers for Adrienne. Thumbs Up

On topic - I do have a Youtube question. I notice varying quality in the video and that some videos allow for HD playback. What cameras are sufficient to get started in web based video? I haven't uploaded anything and my video skills are limited to turning my iPhone sideways and pushing record.

I think video is compelling. I have watched the presentations on the NPM site several times. For "Big Kids" The Maynard Sundman Lecture series is truly excellent from a content standpoint.

re: You Tube Videos

Awe thanks everyone. Not sure what is going on with the health thing right now. Positivity is a great distractor and motivator. (Learned that from my best friend. He never let things get him down and kept pushing to do good things and be a good person.)

So I googled how to make YouTube videos. Some people use fancy cameras, but iPad and iPhone 5 is actually what a lot of people are using. So far with what I have filmed, the quality is quite decent. Also It looks like you have options to upload different quality levels. It's going to take me a few days to re-film some things. For the next video I'll probably want to write a bullet point list so that there isn't the word "um" in there every 5 seconds...... that drove me crazy listening to and now editing it out!!!! haha

The girl I saw demo how to make a video used her iPhone 5, a tripod and a clamp for her phone. Her quality was HD. Probably the main thing is the tripod and keeping the camera steady.

Good work Alanna

Anyone whoever started to collect stamps needs to begin with the basics and you covered a lot of topics.

I am sure that as time goes by, you will most likely develop a special interest in the hobby. Making a video, like you did, is a big step. I have been in the hobby for over 50 years when I was a kid and have not made a video.

Keep up the good work.

A friend from high school just dropped off some stamps she had that she had collected as a kid. Funny, we both collected and were good friends, yet neither of us knew we collected. You could tell the age (we try not to think of our age, eh?) by the world album she had. Most CTOs from the 70s and 80s and dunes. I told her I'd put some of the better ones up for Approvals and see if any new collector might like them. Funny she had a two Ajman sheets that I once had too. I'll put one up on a new thread when I get home from my trip because there's something weird that I had never seen on one of them that maybe some one can tell me about.

I only placed this thread here because it relates to when we were kids and collecting in the early 80s. She even had a small glassine of about 25 original Dennison - the real peel-away deal. She said, "Oh you can throw that packet out" - I told her, stamp collector's would drool over owning those 25 hinges more than the other 200 stamps she gave me. Then I explained why and she started to laugh and said "Imagine that!"

I asked her if she was sure she would never pick up the hobby again and she said yeah, no time and she really has no interest. So, that's ok. If nothing else it was good to see someone I hadn't seen in 25+ years and catch up with her. Strange how time flies and life goes in so many directions. (Ok, I'm off topic now!)

But, I think, somehow kids will one day find an interest in stamps - electronic games and not the only stimulation for a brain and certainly we will some day see kids interested in "old stuff" if they can be find a guide for them.

Um nose hair... Well I have a younger brother and caught him using my mom's tweezers to pluck his nose hairs.... I kept hearing this "OW OW OW" I walk in, tweezers are up in the nose, face is red. *pluck* "OW OW OW"

Well done, Alanna. I dig the Stamporama plug, too. The blog post was nicely done in support of the video.

This is an example of doing. We need more doers!

Cheers!

Thank you so much! Working on a second one at the moment, but I am taking a little more time to show more stamps on it. Happy

re: You Tube Videos

Good work Alanna

Anyone whoever started to collect stamps needs to begin with the basics and you covered a lot of topics.

I am sure that as time goes by, you will most likely develop a special interest in the hobby. Making a video, like you did, is a big step. I have been in the hobby for over 50 years when I was a kid and have not made a video.

Keep up the good work.
