Shoulda sold the Jenny stamp for $8,675,309 instead.
Randy Shoemaker, founder of Professional Stamp Experts, said there are probably fewer than 1,000 collectors in the world with the money and obsession to seriously pursue such a rare item.
“This is the Rolls-Royce,” Shoemaker said. “It’s the most expensive airmail stamp in the world.”

I’d love to be able to bid but I am definitely not a stamp collector of those 1,000 pros ..
Rare is good.. to own, even better.
I was 8 seconds late.
I was trying to figure out why you two both threw out such odd amounts as what he should’ve paid. Then I looked at the amounts and noticed that you both used the same numbers.
That’s when it hit me that this was a “Jenny” stamp! Ha ha! Good one!
The sad part? I made a similar joke about the number 8675309 on a thread a couple weeks ago, and I still didn’t catch on when I saw your posts.....
