What's The Most Expensive Stamp You Purchased In 2011?

I think I tend to be pretty frugal (read cheap) and try to get stuff inexpensively. I'm pretty impressed by some of your budgets.
This past year I got a US #69 for $22.50, a certified Confederate #8 Jackson for $30 and a US C18 Baby Zep for $27. I guess those are the most I've spent on individual stamps. I just won a collection of used and mint Canadians on KMP (my first win there) for just shy of $25. Haven't received them yet.
I guess my best buy was my US #76 for which I paid $12.50, but turned out to be a #75 worth about $550 catalogue. Those are always nice when that happens.

Jamesw that is astounding! (76,75 thing) If that would happen to me it would make my whole year! Congrats to you friend!

Which will be 45c in 3 months. That's assuming USPS is still around in 3 months.

Gee, Being retired and on a fixed income now, I thought $35 for a 10 cent Nebraska overprint was a big purchase.
Those number 1's and 2's are outstanding!

I don't recall buying a single stamp,
possibly by individual cost, a minisheet
from SCF auctions...say $2

If you happen to include literature, then $120

No you didn't sell it that cheap. I was off in my listing.
btw.. are those "others" in the mail yet?


crap, I just went to edit that post and deleted it instead...
oh well the #2 is elsewhere on this site...

I can say the most I ever spent on a single stamp was around ~500.00

Oh my! Those are beautiful TheSeal

Can't say I've spent much one 1 stamp so far since I've only been back in the hobby for a month and half or so. Have spent more on mounts to turn my Heirloom into a hingeless album than any stamps to this point. Picked up a few inexpensive hole fillers so far here and there. These 3 are probably the most I've sunk at once. Always wanted them, never had them before:

Mystic has a hingeless version of the US Heirloom album for $99.00
goes from 1847 to 1946

hey Ron,
I need the 37,38,39 and the 121....



oh, and you mean 65 not 56, right?

Isn't it awesome when that happens?
Someone's mistake is someone else's gain.

remember that #9 that turned out to be a #5 a few months ago? That guy got a great find... a 150.00 stamps turns out to be a 80,000 stamp. (it sold for around 35,000, it was in bad condition but still rare)

I heard of that album but thought I read they cancelled the orders for it cause it wasn't ready yet. I'm having fun making my own anyway. I'm done up to about 1930 so far with what stamps I already own. Everything on up is about 90% complete with about 75% of that being mint and already in mounts from that last go around I had with stamps about 10 years ago.

Mike33,
No they are selling them now that they have redone the pages.. I have a set of pages (long story) and they are great!

SV, the stamp shown by Ron is the August issue (from plate 2 without the corner ornaments). It was formerly listed as Scott 56 but is now 65-E15h

Stampvirgin, would you mind scanning a page? Are they black mounts?

Thanks
