Modern Stamps Revenue Lot Just Sold For 35 Times Estimate

I did not know it opened at $6,000. Yikes.

Some of the photos match those in the Kelleher catalog from the 1991 Joyce sale

I see a total of 2 stamps that match images in the Joyce sale catalog. Unless you have other images, it's a bit of a stretch to assume all of the material came from Joyce. It could easily be that the owner of this material had purchased a few items from that sale or a subsequent buyer/owner and folded them into his collection.

EDIT: 3 items; I missed the block.

The block of 6 brought $100 in the Joyce sale; that was with everyone and his uncle there and bidding. The vertical 20 cent pair with the "transfer stock" over print brought $60. The 50 cent single "transfer stock brought $80. Those were the three items in the Joyce sale; if they did not bring more with everyone there in a time of a very strong market, they are not worth a whole lot more now. Even if they were worth twice as much, the lot would still only be worth a bit more then my earlier estimate, less then 10% of what it actually brought.

It's possible that one of the singles was in a mixed lot as well, but it also brought very little for the whole lot, so the one stamp might be worth $20. It does not change anything.

Maybe stamps will be like bitcoins ?
