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

Thanks for the response to my query, Rileysan.

I'm intrigued that in some countries multiples are much sought after and in others they're not considered of interest.

If my block of ten had been Germanias, for example, I suspect, it would be regarded as a valuable item.

In some cases, even pairs are very rare. I think I saw on the Siegel website an example of a US stamp of low denomination that was apparently almost unknown in pairs, so a pair went for a small fortune.

However, there is often no way for the humble collector to know these things.

Just purchased this last night so this would be the most I've ever spent on a single stamp - A whopping $36.50 delivered.

This stamp is the most expensive I've ever purchased - although it did come as part of a large lot, the only reason I bidded high was to make sure I got this particular datestamp.

Wow jimjam! They printed the stamp upside down? Nice.

LOL@jamesw.

I should probably have made it clearer that this is an EXTREMELY rare cancel.

Very nice momo-crome invert.
