    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

    I bet Franklin D. Roosevelt would have liked to add that to his stamp collection.

      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.

      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.
