We are starting a special feature on the APS YouTube page!
APS members and employees, tell us about your favorite stamp videos. We will make a playlist of your selections.
Our first playlist is curated by APS Development Assistant, Erin Seamans.
As you can tell from her photograph, Erin is an adventurous traveler. Here she is seen in California's Kings Canyon National Park - Rae Lake Loop on a backpacking trip.
Erin is an extremely hard worker and a team player. When she's around the APS office, she is very inquisitive about stamp collecting and looking for new ways to engage people about the hobby.
Watch Erin's top-10 videos here!

"I might not be a official stamp collector yet but I am on my way there. Watching Graham’s Exploring Stamps has piqued my interest and has taken me on many adventures. Here are my favorite top-10 Exploring Stamps videos to watch. I really enjoy watching these videos to learn about various people, histories and places. I’ll admit the first video I ever watched was about the Arizona Statehood because I found this very stamp when I started working at APS and loved the artwork on it. I also loved that Graham will visit a lot of the places he is highlighting with the stamp. Early on in my time at APS I learned the differences between tongs/tweezers and had to watch that video as well. It was very informative as well as fun! I won’t do any more spoilers and we’ll see if you agree with my top 10 or will find your own 10 ten videos you enjoy from Exploring Stamps."
