Can Someone Get Too Obsessd With A Stamp?

The internet is a guerrilla marketing wunderkind. Not just "investments" like metals or stamps but anything you can think of. Household products are shunned or have huge runs on them based upon amplified posts with no real known origins. The influencer thing is serious business and the most effective aren't seen as influencers at all. Quite the time we live in being bombarded with propaganda on our devices 24/7.

I disagree with the statement about Scott Catalog needs to change the value of the 80 cents Hawaii Plate Block .

Why ?

Because you are witnessing the break up of the worlds largest hoard of that plate block . Let's be honest here,who ever purchased that inventory last week . Purchased it to destroy it not keep it . Meaning they purchased it to use as postage . Sure that stamp will float around the stamp community as a USED SINGLE COPY for years .

The goal of the original buyer is now being realized ---Plate Blocks are now finally going to get rare because they are going to be used up as postage so am I right that those P.B. will disappear and we will have tens of thousand used copies floating around .

Question you now have to think about ---Is now the time to put away a few P.B. away at a much cheaper price than the original buyer .

By my addition, there was only about $44,000 face, not $88,000. Which makes the percentage about 50%, much closer to what high value postage brings.

They will not become "rare". There are many thousands currently in collections, and many more currently in dealers stocks. And probably at least some will be sold as plate blocks as well. So I would not hold my breath waiting for them to become rare.

And they were being successful under the then current rules, rules which were immediately changed to stop the Hunt Brothers and close free market silver transactions. Regulators hate it when others are smarter.

88 for 44 typo corrected as well as any down stream issues.

Still pretty discount postage....now waiting for the mailings to surface.
