It's the first day of stamp collecting month. Why a month instead of an entire year? I can't answer that. What I can answer is why you should care about the world of philately in this clip. Then head over to freaksanderrorsfilm.com to watch a full-length documentary about this wonderfully weird, small-yet-huge world. You can thank me in the comments. #stamps #collecting #philately #independent #documentary #film #filmmaking

Looking for a worldwide mapping of the entire worldwide Philatelic (i.e. stamp collecting) community? Yes, you are. Now you can spend more time finding out what's out there for the stamps and postal history enthusiast on Philately LIVE. I highly recommend down to the "Stamp Collecting Videos" slider and clicking on the "Freaks & Errors: A Rare Collection" documentary film link. The entire site contains all the societies, organizations, foundations, clubs, auctions, dealers, marketplaces, publications, stamp-issuing entities, stamp shows, exhibits, and museums. Whether you're interested in publications, postal authorities, shows, exhibits, or museums, this site will quench your thirst for things you didn't know you wanted to know. #stamps #philately #postalhistory #documentary #film https://philately.live/#!

A $20 million collection of rare stamps is hitting the auction block in NYC starting this Friday, June 14th! That's right, postage stamps. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own pieces from billionaire bond king William H. Gross's collection is here. This collection is one of only two complete sets of 19th-century US stamps, with the other housed at the New York Public Library. The famous 1 Cent "Z-Grill" (only 2 exist) stamp is part of the auction. This event is a dream come true for philatelists, historians, Americana collectors, and anyone curious to see what eight figures worth of postage looks like. Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries is hosting the auction. Who knows how much the collection is actually worth? I’ll be there. If you or anyone you know is interested in bidding on any of the lots, contact me.

Nothing better than coming back from a location shoot and finding out that the Telly Awards gave us a gold in the short documentary category for our Glass Blowing film.

I'm convinced of very few things... but, I know that at least 1 of my connections on LinkedIn in enjoys sci-fi miniatures engaging in skill-based combat with hyper-agile movement and deeply engaging campaign play. The rest? You know that you know someone that has been eagerly awaiting a 32mm, apocalyptic skirmish and campaign game that takes place in a world grotesquely mutated by humanity. Neither? How about a quiet night with a board game? Support independent board game designers? You can't say no to everything, sharing is caring. #tabletopgames #tabletoprpg #cardboarddynamo #gravetrigger #independent #boardgames Kickstarter

6 days left! That's right, you almost, but didn't... miss National Stamp Collecting Month! You still have plenty of time to see why the hobby gets an entire month. After watching Ian explain how kick-ass stamp collecting is, you'll wish it was celebrated for an entire year. #freaksanderrorsfilm #nationalstampcollectingmonth #support #independent #documentary #film #filmmakers Bottle Rocket Media www.freaksanderrors.com
