I love the movie “Brewster’s Millions” starring Richard Pryor, where he used a Upside down Jenny stamp to mail a postcard!...............

I know a woman whose husband was an avid stamp collector. He spend ALL of his time with the stamps. Over the decades, she took a second seat to the stamps. Obviously, she hated them.

His collection was worth beaucoup moolah. He was well known in town to the postmaster for his passion.

Upon his passing, wifie used his stamps on envelopes to pay bills, etc. until most of them we used up.

According to this *legend* the postmaster carefully hand cancelled her letters, so no ink or barely any, touched the
stamps.

Supposedly he wrote down the addresses on the envelope and contacted those people for envelope back....this part I don’t believe.

...Thus began *Cancel Culture* Heh.

I have a $2 version of the upside down Jenny issued in 2013. It is now worth about $6 retail.
