Come with me. That's all I'll say. Come with me. So, we've sung the song. Just to confirm, we've sung the song today. Now, today's fact of the day, and a theme this week. Stamps. You should probably run the themes past us from now on.

I'm going to say I'm not immediately turned on by this. Because I think if this isn't a good fact, we won't have a theme this week. Yeah, we'll change it. We'll change it. Permission to left turn. Stamps. Okay, go. My great uncle had a stamp collection and it was in this shed. This isn't the fact, but he had this stamp collection. When we were kids, we thought it was funny and we would like pull

these. He just put it in the shed, so he kind of loved it that much, but it was probably worth a fortune. We used to pull the stamps out, lick them and stick them to ourselves and be like, I'm Australian. And then they'd fall off and we'd just run around this. He had this collection. He had this massive old shed.

He had Cuban cigars in there. Yeah. And when we were kids, we had matches and we'd light them on fire and be like, and blow into them and be like, and then probably just drop them on the ground and we're lucky we didn't burn the place down.

Oh my God. It was this nuts shed. We had no appreciation for it. It sounded like I'm getting choked up. I'm not emotional. Anyway, that's what I always think of when I think of stamps. How many stamps did he have?

That was our friend telling us she got a snapper. Well, I just want my watch to stop making the dinging noise. It's never made this noise before. Oh, I can fix it. Mine did it for a while. We'll sort it out after this. Okay, okay. I just can't breathe. You making the dinging noise. It's never made this noise before. Oh, I can fix it. Mine did it for a while. We'll sort it out after this.

Okay, okay. I just can't breathe right now. You need to put it on silent. So, I learned this and I thought stance would be good. I know it's going to be obvious when I find out how to do it. It's not on silent. No, because I know that's not right. That's not right actually.

Mine did it for a while as well. Okay, please. We'll sort this out afterwards. I was listening to a podcast and they started talking about stamps. And I was like, this is fascinating. And this is where I learned today's fact of the day about stamps. One of the main reasons they started printing stamps for a non-practical purpose collection,

they started printing specific collector stamps, is because technically you're just giving the post office money. It's like buying a voucher for a place and being like, man, I like the look of this voucher. I'm never spending it. Oh, yeah. Okay. So they made millions. The US have made millions and millions of dollars.

And the same with the New Zealand post office. They make way more money off collector stamps because it's a voucher technically you're never going to spend. Oh, I see. I see. I'm with you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not actually going to cash in its purpose. You never cash it in as a voucher.

But some stamps in some collections have been sent in the past, eh? Yes. Yes. But that's why I'm keeping all my courier bags because I reckon one day they're going to be worth... You've got that drawer full of courier bags. Because I reckon like $2,120

I'll be like, look, this is an original... This is post-haste, this is PBT, this is NZ Post, this is from the now-defunct Aramex. They popped up and made an absolute meal of it. They were throwing packages left, right and centre. You can see here this one's got scuff marks on it because they booted it up the corridor. Yeah, they did. They were throwing packages left, right and centre. You can see here this one's got scuff marks on it

because they built it up the corridor. Wow, cool man. I reckon follow that. Yeah, I've got them all in a little folder. Cool.

It's going to be really good. I look forward to that. Who are you going to leave it to? You don't have children. Well, do you want me to leave it to you?

Oh, yes please. Oh, get in line mate. Put it in a shed with your Cuban cigars, and I'll get my kids to go on and bloody put their feet in it and stuff around the place. Yeah, so the first time this happened for the US, they released a stamp, and they noticed it sold all of these. It was an Al, it is, one of the biggest ones that happened to it

was an Alvis stamp. Oh, yeah. This massive, the rule was you had to be dead for 10 years before you could be on a stamp. And you had to be a person of political or cultural influence. Like David Seymour. Perfect. But he hasn't been dead for 10 years. But so when.

Carry on. Gotcha. Gotcha. They both just crossed their fingers. Stop it. Gotcha. Gotcha. You're in trouble. That could be the deputy prime minister come next week. Gotcha They both just crossed their fingers Stop it Gotcha Gotcha You're in trouble

It could be the deputy prime minister Come next week He'll have you both executed And then you wait 10 years And you can be on a stamp So 10 years after Elvis died in 1987 Thank you for saying that we have cultural influence Big cultural influence

10 years after Elvis died The debate started on If they were going to have Old fat Elvis Or young hot Elvis. Oh, young hot. Young hot one. Young hot one by miles.

So they put on the stamp and they noticed that all of these stamps were purchased, yet weren't getting put into the circulation. Right. And they're like, we've just made so much money releasing that stamp. And because nobody was collecting the boring stamps, it was hard to convince people to collect George Washington stamps. Yeah. And everyone's like, meh, we've had George Washington stamps for ages. So they released the Elvis one and people just bought it and just kept them.

Yeah, right. And so technically it was like, you've just bought the right to use something that you'll never use, so it's cash in the back pocket. Yeah, totally. So that's the way they do it. Yeah, right. That's why they release commemorative stamps that will never be sent

because it's just basically like you're buying a voucher that you will never redeem. Do we want Stamp week to continue? Tease me for tomorrow. You're not sure. I'm not sure. Morgan, you've won a double pass to the live show. Congratulations. Hello, thank you.

We'll see you there. Yeah, it's going to be fun. Excellent, I can't wait. Okay, thank you. Toodle pip. Toodles horn. Toodle pip. Toodle pip, hur you. Toodle pip. Toodles, hon. Toodle pip. Toodle pip.

Hoorah. Toodle pip. Hoorah. Hoorah. Hoorah. Hoorah. So today's fact of the day is that collectible stamps make the post office so much money because people buy them but never use them.

It's not because stamp week's not happening tomorrow. Or 100%. No, no, no. No, it's not a week this week. Or maybe we'll have to put up a poll. I'm not asking the people. The people have no say. You have no say.

Today's Fact of the Day is about the world's most expensive stamp. It's stamp week. It's standpoint care at Fact of the Day. For all the philatelists. Philatelists. Is that what they're called? Philatelists. Okay.

Just listen to it. I've said it and I've written it down phonetically and I still can't say it. Stamp Collector. Stamp fans. The world's most expensive stamp is the British Guyana one cent magenta. That is a colour it is.

Okay. The story behind the stamp was in Guyana one-cent magenta. That is a killer, it is. Okay. The story behind the stamp was in Guyana, they were waiting in 1856 for a shipment of stamps. Shipment of stamps? The ship got shipwrecked. Yeah. And the stamps never arrived. The ship with the stamps got shipwrecked.

The ship with the stamps got shipwrecked. At sea. At sea, yes. At sea. What a shame. The local postmaster said, we're going to print our own. Oh, yeah. Now, there were two types.

There was the one cent magenta, which was just stuck onto newspapers when newspapers delivered. Did you know that for a start? No. It stamps on newspapers. Pay the stamp on the newspaper to get the newspaper delivered. Oh, yeah. And that paid the person who delivered it.

Deliveries included. And the biggest stamp was four letters and such. It was the four cent magenta and four cent blue. Anyway, it got to the point where they weren't arriving and they wanted to get this installed. So the Postmaster General said to the people who were printing the paper, just print some stamps as well. I'll give it a signature.

Tickety-boo. Lick it, stick it. Very rare, these stamps, because soon after another shipment of stamps arrived on a ship that didn't get shipwrecked. That didn't get shipwrecked? No, shipwrecked. Shailed through the sheaths with no problem at all.

And it arrived, so there weren't many of these stamps out there. In 2014, the stamps sold at Sotheby's auction for 9.48 million US dollars. What? And the buyer was a high-end shoe designer, Stuart Weltzman, who simply tucked the stamp into his pocket and its little protective sleeve, and off he went. It has sold again since.

It sold, that guy, Stuart Weltzman, sold it in 2021, took a loss, took a hit, $8.3 million. Oh, was the market down? Yeah, market was down on stamps. So then I was like, who else has owned this stamp? And I scrolled back, and I think the most interesting owner of the stamp is the man who was the heir to the DuPont fortune, DuPont chemical brand. Yeah.

They do non-stick? They're the people that do non-stick. Teflon. Maybe they've got a Teflon-y product. So he purchased the stamp in 1980. John Ethelware DuPont. Oh, great name.

Purchased it for $280,000. Ah. Oh no, he purchased it for more than $280,000. Sorry, the person before him purchased it for $280,000. And the interesting thing is, the stamp got passed on out of his collection because he went to prison for murder. Murder.

Murder. And he died in prison. The man he murdered, his name was Dave Schultz. He was an American Olympic and world champion freestyle wrestler, seven-time world and Olympic medalist. And the movie Foxcatcher is based on his life. Foxcatcher was a 2014 film. Yes.

Steve Carell. Yes. It was so good. Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo. Yeah. Mark Ruffalo played the murdered wrestler, and Steve Carell played the heir to the DuPont fortune who owned the world's most expensive stamp.

Wow. I don't know. Stamp Week's not doing it for me. I'll be honest. It caught me back in with that film because it was a great film. The man who owned the world's most expensive stamp went to prison for murdering an Olympic champion wrestler. By the way, motive unknown.

Really? They never proved the motive. Have you seen the film? No, I haven't. Oh, you've got to see it. It's a great film. What was the motive? I can't remember.

Does it end with his murder? Yes. Or does it end pre-murder? No, it's in the middle, I think, from memory. So, yeah, he's murdered. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert for the film. God, the stamp collecting industry, it's wild, isn't it?

Yeah, it is truly wild. Yeah, it's wild. Okay. So he was the heir to the DuPont fortune with a pension for stamps, but also wrestling, but then murdered a wrestler and then died in prison. So today's fact of the day is the world's most expensive stamps had some very interesting owners. Clay, ZM's, Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley.

And it's stamp or philatelist week. Philatelist. Philatelist. That's a stamp collector, a fan of stamps. I don't know if Hayley and I have been completely on board with stamp week, but you've been receiving a lot of correspondence from philatelists. The philanges, philatelics that are into it are into it. So I've been getting emails.

I got an email yesterday from Daniel who works for phalelic Distributors in New Plymouth. Oh, beautiful. We love New Plymouth. You love New Plymouth. And he said, great work on Stamp Week. Oh, great. Well, you know what? I'm happy for things to not always be for me or about me.

For five minutes of each day. Now could you explain that to Fletch? Five minutes of each day. Five minutes of each day. Sorry, I don't comprehend. He doesn't comprehend. I'm not computing. Non comprende.

Sorry. See puppy, non comprende. He said if you're seriously going to do stamp facts all week, I've got a couple of good ones from right here in Aotearoa, New Zealand. The first is, I heard you talk about the world's most expensive stamp. Well, what about New Zealand's most expensive

stamp? Oh my God, what about it, Paul? Because the most expensive New Zealand stamp and then he says in brackets, without getting technical. Although I wouldn't have minded if it got technical. Without getting, what is, okay. It was for the, it is the 1949 HMS Vanguard stamp. Okay.

It was a stamp that was made for a royal tour of New Zealand that was cancelled at the last minute and the tour never happened. Because of COVID. Okay. Yeah. King George got sick. The Queen's father got sick. Was he the stuttering one?

Yes. The King's speech. The King's speech one. Correct. Great history. Good knowledge. Good knowledge. Well, I also learned that they had all this stuff,

sort of a government house For this visit That never happened Right Because of course When a royal visit Was happening back in the day The preparation was You know years in the making

Oh yeah You don't use your Bloody Kmart cutlery Oh no no no Everything was made Especially for it And there was like These chairs

That were a government house That were made by the Mayoresses from around New Zealand Your Kmart chip plates Would have had to been Replaced for the Queen's visit Oh my god I like to keep it real Not even good enough for us Let alone the King Those also. Your Kmart chip plates would have had to been replaced for the Queen's visit. Oh my God, it would be so bad. I like to keep it real.

Not even good enough for us, let alone the King. Those also weren't Kmart plates. Those were Briscoe's plates. Oh, right. They had real Kmart energy just because of all the chips. Yeah. So I'm always now, well, we've got the plates. I'm seeing how long they last.

Yeah, totally. It's a different game now. One's got a visible crack through it. And I'm like, how many more goes through the dishwasher are you going to get? Your wife has still not invited Hayley and I back for any kind of dinner. We've literally never been invited back for dinner. Ever since we mentioned the chip plants. We were actually cleaning the pool the other day and the girls were helping me.

Yeah. And they pulled a cork out of the pool and they held it up and they were like, ha, another sign from the night that Hayley and that came. And then walked inside and they were like, guess what we just found and held up a cork. And Shardie looked and she looked confused and they were like, we all know where this is from.

Did it have Rufino on it? Yeah, definitely a Rufino cork. It was. Multiple reasons you're not getting invited back. So the stamp was made for the royal tour that was cancelled at the last minute. It never happened. So then the post offices, like, destroyed those stamps. Oh.

Why? Which they were, apart from a few that a guy in charge of the destroying them took them home and popped in his pocket. But why couldn't you just use them? Because I guess it was just the pomp and ceremony of it all. It was going to be released on the day they arrived. And the vanguard was the ship they were coming on. And there was another in the set.

There was who became the queen? Princess Elizabeth at the time. And her sister, who was? Mary Kate. Mary Kate. Mary Kate. Mary Kate. Mary Kate and Ashley.

That's it. That's who we're on the steps. So she's Margaret, right? Margaret and Elizabeth. Yeah, because her oldest daughter's Anne. Yes. Yes, right. Still haven't seen

those seasons of The Crown so I'm a little bit behind guys Right The best one is Well it's also just history Han it's not just a TV show

it's crazy Mary-Kate and Elizabeth Olsen go to Paris Yeah it actually happened Really? Yeah Have we heard about The Crown that they're

going to have a ghost of Princess Diana in the next season? Mary-Kate dies in the tunnel No No Mary-Kate's still alive. It's the one that played the Scarlet Witch, the third Olsen.

Okay. Okay. Man, I've got to catch up with the crowd. You've got to keep up with these royals. So the Vanguard, the HMS Vanguard stamps. Wait, they had Netflix in 1945. Only the rich people. Yeah, but it was the ones we had to email you,

get a DVD sent to you in the post. Right. Okay. And then you had to go to the cinema to see it. Right. Okay. So the guy that was in charge of destroying them took them. Sneaky bugger.

Hence, there's only a few. If you are ever in charge of destroying something, always keep a copy. It's a limited edition because there's always keep a few. Always keep a copy. The last one sold for $67,850. Oh, wow. Sorry, how much? $67,850 for a New Zealand stamp.

$70k? Yep. That's ridiculous. That's a house deposit. That's good stuff. On a stamp. Just one stamp. One stamp.

Yes. Not even a collection of stamps. No, the one stamp. HMS Vanguard. All the flatatatists are like, who's laughing now? Yeah. You laughed at us collecting these stamps. Who's laughing now?

And Daniel also said, if you ever do a trading card week, hit me up. No, we're all good. Thank you, Daniel. Your time's done. So absolutely full of facts. So we'd like to thank Daniel and the rest of the people there in New Plymouth. The philophilic distributors. Pythagoras theorems and whatnot.

Yeah, all of those guys for that very interesting locally homegrown fact of the day that New Zealand's most expensive stamp was supposed to be destroyed. It was a stamp of a ship that the king was supposed to come on and he never did

and it last sold for $67,000. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Ailey. Play ZM. This week is Stamp Week at Fact of the Day and we're not going to do a stamp fact at the live show because we thought that was lame

No, we didn't think that was lame Hayley and I We are letting you have the space this week Stamps And we have accepted that not everything about this world is about me and us

And that's a learning thing for me You know, and that's a real moment We have accepted that not everything about this world is about me and us. Yeah. And that's a learning thing for me. You know, and that's a real moment of learning. Yeah. And you've taken it on board, but Fletch still can't understand it. How anything in this world isn't specifically for him. He's slower to things than me. It's not computing.

Yeah. It's like I've got an error. Look at it. He literally, as you do the fact of the day, he literally poises his finger. He hovers. On the mouse. To click us out to the next bar. That's very disappointing. Well, if you've the fact of the day, he literally poises his finger. He hovers. On the mouse to click us out to the next bar. That's very disappointing.

Well, if you've been listening to Stamp Week, you'll now have heard from a stamp collector, Daniel, who is based in New Plymouth. And boy, he has heard from people far afield. He's heard, someone messaged him saying, oh my God, I listened to this podcast. I'm in Singapore. Oh my goodness.

And I've heard them touting the stamp facts. I too love stamps. Unreal. Isn't this amazing? Have we gone big in the stamp world? Just like stamps. Yep. Fact of the day about stamps, it's connecting the world.

Yeah, good. As stamps did. But today's stamps, not about the stamps themselves, but the little postmarks. Oh yeah. You know little postmarks. Oh, yeah. You know what postmarks are? Oh, the ones that get printed, stamped over the stamp. Over the stamp.

And so you can't reuse them. Yeah. Well, it's origin, really. Yeah, right. You're the first people to process it, put a stamp mark on it, right? So you know where it came from. Yeah, that's right. But also it went over the stamp,

so you couldn't cheeky peel them off and use them again. But most New Zealand stamps aren't so rare, but some of our postmarks are. But for example, a hundred years ago, do you know there were 100 different post offices in the Taranaki region alone? This will shock you, Vaughan. I did not know that. How hard is it to find

a bloody post office these days? It's always bunged in the back of a dairy. Or a pharmacy. And then you can get a lotto, you can get a bag of chips, and you can get a prescription, and a couple of stamps, or one of those overpriced bags to send you goodies.

They bung it in the back, but then you go to get a courier bag, but the person's dispensing stiffy pills, and then you're waiting. Boner pills and a dollar max. No, but then they go to the counter and sell someone a Coke Zero. And then they have to go to the other counter to sell someone some strep seals. And then they come to you.

It's a lot. And then you're like, I'm going to pay with F-Boss. And they're like, not this one. Come over here. Yes. Sorry, we don't. This is the world we live in now. We only accept check at this counter.

Can I get some cash out? Because while I was waiting, I was lured in by the scratchies. And I've got a really good feeling about that one. It's a different terminal for the scratchies too. Oh yeah. Well, it depends what scratchies as well. You might have to go to the pharmacist at the back

if you've got the scratchies. Because they bung a lotto store in places now too. Everything's bunged into something else. It's all bunged in. Bungity bung bung. Bunged in there. So there used to be 100 different post offices in Taranaki all with their own postmarks

because they didn't bung anything in. I know, they were standalone. It was a busy time. So they all had different postmarks and so they become collectors. The most valuable ones are the ones that were open for a very limited time. And even when the royal visit happened,

a lot of stamps connected to the royal visits. Yeah. 1935, there was a royal visit to New Zealand. There was a royal train. So the train went down the old main trunk line. And when they got to a place and they needed to go, then they'd have a car waiting for them and then go back and then they'd come back to the royal train. There was a special

postmark for the royal train. If anybody on the train wanted to send some mail, a special postmark I got him I got him Did you see that look on his face? He likes trains He likes trains

He likes trains And now he imagines You know what else you're imagining? They can't afford to stop All the time for the post They hang it at the window In a bag Oh that's pretty cool

And they snatch it off And they pick it up And they go That's what he's thinking of Well what's today's fact then? Well no no I'm about to tell you At the moment for sale

On Trade Me There is a stamp here From the Royal Train today's fact there. Well, no, no. Well, I'm about to tell you at the moment for sale on Trade Me, there is a stamp here from the Royal Train. See, this is the postmark here. It says Royal Train. 10th of January. $189! Yeah, dude. That's the 10th of January.

What are you going to do with it? 1935. The 1pm pickup. And it says it was happening in New Zealand. The stamp up here, you might be thinking, that's the one that's worth it. That's trash. But that royal postmark on there from 1935, currently on Trade Me at $189. In another universe, if we met on a hot date,

and I brought you back to my place, and I was like, you will never guess what I've got. And I got out the royal stamp thingy that Vaughan just showed us on Trade Me for $189. I'm getting an Uber. I'm ordering an Uber. It's ordered. I would, if I... Nah, I'm already at your house.

You know, we'd go through with it. Thank you. I wouldn't be staying the night. Okay. Would you not just be like... All the way there. You live quite high up in your apartment building. I'm going to craft you this amazing yarn about the Royal train and the 1935 visit and a special train on the tracks.

It's not doing anything for me. Your bone is gone. To be fair, on my first date with Aaron, I showed him marching and said, watch this. And he watched hours of it. Yeah, but guys will do a lot. He got what he, you know. I paid him the price.

Yeah. Well, he knew your timing was on. Yeah, he was like, gosh, she's got good rhythm. Yeah, she can keep it constant. And a hell of a set of legs on it. Constant move, constant move, constant move. So today's fact of the day is it's not always, if you see a stamp for sale,

it's not always the stamp that's the valuable part. Sometime it's the postmark from a short-lived post office. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Thank you very much for joining us for Stamp Week. It's been a privilege. It's been a great ride. There's been ups, there's been downs. There's been a privilege. It's been a great ride. There's been ups, there's been downs. There's been licking.

There's been self-adhesive. You've been rocking the stamp world. I've just been. I think I am a rock star of the stamp world now. Yeah, we've heard. People hearing from all over. Well, Daniel, who's pretty much provided me with a whole week of facts, apart from Monday, where I shot for the stars,

and he's just filled in all the gaps. I'd like to thank him. Yeah. Because I did have a different fact lined up for today, but then he was like, my wife's just reminded me of another stamp fact. Oh, great. So this guy loves stamps, trading cards,

and he's married. He's found his... Wild. He's found his... He's found his... Stamp mate. Yeah. What's the...... He's found his... Stamp, mate. Yeah. What's the...

Lick, mate. Lobster. Lobster. He's found his lobster. Isn't that the lobsters made for life? Isn't it lobsters? No, they're penguins. Penguins too.

It's beavers. It's not beavers. They are promiscuous. Oh, beavers hold hands when they sleep. Penguins make for life. Otters, I just see otters. They hold hands so they don't drift away from each other. It is otters.

Beavers build dams. Where have you been? I've been chewing down trees. What was the cartoon about beavers? Two angry beavers. Two angry beavers. Two stupid dogs and angry beavers. Two great cartoons.

Spend some time. Get it familiarised. He said, Daniel said, about New Zealand health stamps. These were the stamps that were released to fund different things. And the first one was 1929, and it was a health stamp. And when you bought it, you helped stamp out tuberculosis. Oh, I see what they did there. Oh, my God, stamp it out.

Yeah, stamp out tuberculosis. So this went on. So the 1929, the New Zealand Health Stamp. But then the last one they did was just recently. This kind of carried on throughout time. Raising money for different health issues. We had a big problem though in 1996. You guys will be familiar with this.

Where it was about children's health. Old man's bed. Old man's bed must go. Must go, that's what it was. It was getting into the... What's old man's bed? Must go Must go, that's what it was. It was getting into the... What's old man's bed? Must go. Well, you wouldn't know because we got rid of it as kids.

Thank you. We went out and pulled it all down. Yeah, they made us walk riverways and pull it down. And we pulled it all down. So when you think about it, it was quite cunning then, wasn't it? They had child labour. They still do it. Do they?

Yeah, my kids went on a planting day. And they were ridding the country of weeds. Oh, no, they were planting. Oh, right. They were planting out of an area. They were weeding. Yeah. Gosh.

What do you get, like, PD? You know when you drink, drive, and they make you do community service? I saw someone the other day with a community service vest on. I was like, oh, hon. They tow around. When they do the side of the road, they tow around a port-a-loo. Have you seen them towing around the port-a-loo? No.

So if you're caught short you don't just openly wazz on the side of the road anymore when you're picking up rubbish. Right. Fair enough. They tow around a port-a-loo so you can use that.

Well the big problem was in 1996 the stamp came out and Plunkett went off. Right. Plunkett went off.

Why? Because the way that the stamp was made made it look like the child was in a front-facing car seat. Oh, no, we don't do that. Because there was a bear included. So, there was

a teddy bear wearing a standard seatbelt, and then the kid's holding a bear. No, and the kid's having a bear. Plunkett weren't happy about that, so they got rid of that. What was wrong with that? They turned him up. The baby is facing forward, whereas the law had just changed where babies have to be in backward facing. So this is a stamp that could be worth some money

because it was another one of these stamps that got out and then had to be recalled. I'm happy that stamp week's over. Yeah, look, I know a lot of people have liked it. But a minority. And it's important To represent the minority Of stamp collectors But next week
