You filled out a lot of what wasn't covered in the news about this stamp. Excellent episode, cheers!

Hello. I was very impressed by watching your video about the Ukrainian postage stamp. For the first time I shed a tear from watching an English-language video, Big respect to Pan Andrey for the items sent to you, I also had a desire to send you an FDC envelope with the cancellation of this series.

👀**Frantically goes to the Ukrainian Postal website for the tractor stamps**

By far, the best episode on your YT channel as it is on a sensitive topic and the portrayal of the stamp concerned has given due measure and justice for the reason of it's issue. A friend has recently sent me this stamp along with a matching postcard from Ukraine, and I am eagerly look forward to the same. Like you did mention, such stamps get stolen in transit, she had taken due care too not to send it commercially used.
Best wishes from goa, India

Really great video, those stamps are truly iconic! So glad they made it to you ok in the mail. Loved Punks article on this as well, I was so excited when I learned the design of the landscape mimicked the flag. But I didn't know until your video that actually the flag is intentionally designed to mimic iconic landscapes in Ukraine! Always looking forward to the next one! 😺

Thank you, Graham. Another great program that proves that postage stamps are not just pieces of paper from the past but highly relevant statements on the present. Now get on PATREON so we can ensure you can continue to make these wonderful videos!!!

I was recently at a RCNA (Royal Canadian Numismatic Association) Coin show, a vendor was selling blocks (4 stamps, corner edge) of these stamps for just under $400 a set, they were snapped up episode and background details, well done!

Great Video! Thank you for handling a sensitive subject so well. This stamp once again shows the role that Philately continues to play in our history.

I was very lucky to receive the Snake Island stamps, with the ship and without the ship, although postmarked, a very helpful postie put a marker pen over them 😱 they are truly amazing stamps

Great episode. I'm primarily a topical collector, so sometimes I forget just how much of a political and historical impact stamps can have. What beautiful stamps and covers

Thank you Graham, I'm glad that you like it. I will be sending you more soon enough. Btw there is also a small hidden message on the postal card, stamp placement have a specific order: read from left to right, top to bottom. That iron trash can on the left, , meets our Neptune on the right, bottom part represents the result.

This stamp is going to become a legend in the world of philately like the inverted jenny. Not today of in 100-150 years from now.

I have been studying in Ukraine from years, i also got that.😊😊

[jackmlynek]

Another great episode, Graham. I tried to get this stamp from Ukraine Post, but the website was always overloaded and I was skunked!

[RichardPhilatelist]

I just ordered my (probably) first set of Ukraine stamps, blame you Graham!
It’s hard to talk about sensitive topics, but you did a good job.
