Inverted Jenny 2013 Error?

I think that your question has already been answered. No weight difference if weighed on their machine. Now an expensive scale sure. But they don't have access to something as accurate as that.

"There's at least 1 extra card in every one of the "unverted" packets."

No there isn't an extra card - just extra printing on the same weight card telling the buyer they got a special pane and call this number to report it"

Buying these stamps is like a free lotto ticket. I think people are starting to realize this. The odds are certainly much better than the lotto with really nothing at risk. I can't believe they are not sold out yet. I checked USPS on ebay and they are still available so I bought myself 3 sheets as a birthday present. Hoping to get the intentional error, but would be happy to get a real error. Any new reports of different errors? Any new reports of winners or of the odds now?

People are still selling the red wing tips and broken wheel varieties for good money.

you're really addicted to that stamp

CANADIAN JENNY

I know there are a bundle of 'inking' issues with the printing of the inverted Jenny. But in a second attempt at the 'lottery' I received this item from Stamp Fulfillment. The wing tips have a red coloring (likened to tip lights. Since most of the red inking blurs, threads, missing/broken lines have been somewhat limited to those areas initially inked red, I thought that I would share with the group. I also noticed ( I think) that the background (un-inked) paper was a cream color (bottom illustration) with the top illustration more white. (yes I am somewhat disappointed in not hitting the 'jack-pot...might try again) (Best I can do for picture-but the lower (top inverted) wing tip is red tipped @ trailing edge)

Although some ink bleed is evident on virtually all the stamps in that souvenir sheet, the UL stamp in particular has significant ink bleed in the red border around the stamp (much more than most that I've seen previously).

Unfortunately, most of these imperfections are not worth any more than the face value of the stamp, but they do make for an interesting study.

I'm almost sure that after these stamps go off-sale someone is going to come up with a catalog identifying all of the multiple varieties known for this issue, as there are many more significant varieties in this souvenir sheet than most all of the other 21st century issues put together.

eligies that looks like a nice find. Lower left stamp appears to have the blue under LLA-DOLLARS and red color shift on whole sheet. CONGRATS...3 OF 6 NUMBERS!

COINWATCHER: I never noticed the BLUE shift' WOW! I was looking at the red inking to see just how 'messed-up' around the borders and arch it could be. I also noticed some 'drippings' on the 2-right stamps at the perfs. I thought the red tips were a different 'variety' given that it is in the blue field and a different ink plate. The border inking issues are everywhere.

wt1: Do you think that the plane number 38262 is a reference to an actual mail carrier or possibly an exhibit either at the Postal Museum or Air Museum??

Here's the story about plane number 38262 (along with the original link) and ironically it never made the first airmail flight because of "pilot incompetence and associated blunders"!

A familiar story to anyone who has read the book "Jenny!" a great philatelic read. Watching the flyspecking on this issue is absurdly amazing to me.

wt1: I can count on you to have the history and reference.

I agree with revcollector in that the 'flyspecking' with this issue is particularly extensive. As I 'inspect' my 2-items I find some common inking issues among them but also some specific & unique inking issues as mentioned. It will be a task for another to attempt to list the 'common' inking issues aside from the more 'unique' inking issues (and possibly setting those most unique as more desirable). Of course a pristine no issues example would be as much a prize as the un-invert..??!!

Thing is - most of these variations are just minor freaks and not constant plate varieties and I don't understand why people are paying a premium for them as they are prety common (in fact a perfect sheet appears to be rare).

sdTom,
Really I am not addicted to any stamps yet. I enjoy visiting this forum from time to time to hear about the new issues, but I have only bought about 3 sheets of the Jenny stamps and I sold them all on ebay and made a small profit because I did called them out as the red wing tip varieties.

I agree with the veterans on this. I hope no one is buying them because of the links to ebay I have provided. I just thought I would share what others are getting for the so called varieties. I hope I was not misleading. I am still so new to collecting stamps and I really don't know what constitutes a variety and error in the stamp world. I should look for some books, if anyone has some suggestions that would be great. I would like to know what to look for in modern and vintage stamps.
