Wow, Tom.

That is an impressive story and collection. I don't know if he'll get $20K for it, but I hope the buyer donates it to a museum or library.

An interesting story indeed. Someone may actually pay the asking price or something close to it. But, the people who buy these rare items, blind, on e-bay simply amaze me.

Wow, this is what I love about collecting stamps. I think the stories behind the stamps are so interesting! This is they type of thing I would love to have, but sadly, not going to happen...$20,000 is way out of reach.

Rediculous -- not the history, but the seller and his idea of why his asking price are justified.

That is amazing. I have always loved that stamp; never knew that specific soldiers on it could be identified.

This is interesting, but does not justify the pricing of the item in this market.
