I gave a short speech about this stamp in my speech class in 1958. It was worth only $250,000 at that time. Wow! 9.5 million is nothing but inflation. I also learned history from stamps.
Out of sight, out of mind. No stamps appear on the letters these days. Why would one strive to buy a missing stamp if noone is collecting stamps? It will likely prove to be a bad investment.
Mister Witsman, congratulations for getting that stamp, and the story is great. I am a stamp collector since the age of 8, but I don't have valuable stamps...just what I can afford. And Peole give me their stamps, because they are of no interest to them....but I love them. Great story. David
Well established stamp collecting Britain London but one thing is missing weekly magazine before decimalisation 1970 stamp collecting in shillings weekly magazine not found anywhere around the world
What are the odds, I came here after rewatching your video on the Black Lotus to find out more about the stamp you mentioned near the beginning, and here you are.
There are some people out there with too much money. I never buy any brand name clothing, shoes, or any other products. There is no way I will ever support a brand or their people.

I am from Guyana and I appreciate how you help to keep our country on the map. Thank you Sir.
Great story, very well done. Kudos to Jan Crawford for her interview and reporting skills.

Nice to see it in hands of an enthusiast and not a get-rich-quick schmuck
I'm here after Harry talked about valuable stamps.
How to know the stamp is not fake coz i have one
You probably have a stamp that was issued with the 1c Magenta on it. A stamp within a stamp.
My brother has one of those as well.
Nope... Mine is same as this once.
I have one...
So if I go through my granny old mail and found one, how much will I get $4.7 million???
It would have to be your 5th great granny. This stamp is over 150yo.
