A Philatelic Ransom: YPLF Fellows On The Stamp Collecting Trail

In March 2011, Young Philatelic Leaders Fellows John Phillips, Andrew Shaw and Ryan Wellmaker produced a fun movie in support of the Mighty Buck Club (learn more below). The entire movie was created during the Fellows' visit to the American Philatelic Society's (APS) headquarters in Bellefonte, PA

The APS created the Mighty Buck Club fundraising campaign to demonstrate to APS members that donations even in small amounts pooled together can provide much needed funds to improve APS/APRL services and support the hobby.

This video is truly a masterpiece of amateur cinematography, a video with a simple, but powerful message. I am anxiously awaiting the next video by these young Spielberg's! I know I am telling everyone I know about the video and the Mighty Buck Campaign!! Check out the video I created to promote and praise this video and the great work of the YPLF.

Shame on you! Shaking down the fellows for $12 after kidnapping their leader. How low will you cads go. This was a hillarious and campy video. Well done.

You guys are great! Good script and a neat tour of the APC. Ken does a credible Groucho Marx impersonation...we should be able to make some money on that.

Well done indeed.

Could this video be captioned for deaf viewers, me included... or provide a script? Thank you...

Probably the best informal tour of APS headquarters ever put together!
