What Would You Pay For This Stamp

What would you pay for this Scott # 554 ? Catalog value for MNH is $2.75

is this a trick question?
obviously you found it online somewhere for an astronomical amount.

Wonder what this guy would ask for a mint stamp when he wants this much for a used one - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Scott-554-U...t_500wt_1180

that ain't no way a super jumbo xf stamp...

and I am upset I couldn't make an offer of .01

I think stampvirgin is bieng cheap. I would double his offer.

check out his other items. Just checked his feedback and people are actually paying decent money for penny stamps - disgusting

smauggie... LOL

I can not believe people are paying those kind of prices for stamps..
7.50 for a 6c Crater lake USED stamp.

At 20 votes I will post the surprising answer !

I've got about 40 of those... at least 30 of which is as good as the one he's selling! A 20 cent stamp for $150.00, I wonder if he'll buy my 30 for $5.00 apiece?

stallzer,

Not seeing the back of the stamp, I wouldn't even pay $3.00... So, I didn't vote.

PSE lists MNH 95 @ $65.00 and MNH 98 @ $225.00. But I have seen similar stamps go for $1000.00, at my age there are few suprises left.

Assuming the best case scenario (Superb Jumbo, MNH), I would personally pay up to $20. If it happens to be graded Gem 100, I have seen similar stamps listed for $1500. If gem 100J and sold at a Siegel auction? The sky's the limit ...

I wouldn't pay anything. It's one of those ickypoo front-of-book postage stamps.

The back is MNH with no gum disturbance Art.

I didn't vote either, as I wouldn't pay those prices for it. It's not such a rare stamp. The centering is good, but don't know that it would qualify as "superb".

In fact, I recall seeing an ebay listing not too long ago where the seller mathematically calculated perfectly even margins to prove the extra value being asked for the stamp.

At those prices, the seller should provide an expertizing certificate to confirm the grading being claimed.

While it may be "flyspecking", do I judge the lower left hand corner of the stamp as having a slightly pulled perf, of which that alone would diminish the grading of a "superb" specimen?
