Drago, check the listing. That's a very historic stamp. Some of the soldiers on it are identified. Very special to those that were there and their families. |

Yes, well some people inflate prices and try to justify it any way they can. The whole thing is kind of rediculous. |

Drago, the auction listing is not just for that stamp. You are correct, the stamp itself is minimum catalog value.
However, the lot listed is a historical lot. It includes the autographs, stories, and some memorabilia of the soldiers depicted on the stamp. That is why the asking price is so high.
I cannot attest for the authenticity of the lot, nor whether it actually merits the full premium amount sought by the seller, since I do not collect war memorabilia. |

Caveat Emptor!
IMHO, the lot is really cool if all the signatures are authentic.
IMHO, it's not worth $20K. But, what do I know? |

It seems a little pricey to me. I agree that it is a valuable lot, the asking price is way too high. |
