A recently posted obituary that will interest stamp collectors:
Quote:
Zoellner amassed a rare complete collection of U.S. stamps issued from 1847 to 1947. They sold at auction for more than $8 million in 1998, according to a Boston Globe story. One of the items, an 1868 1-cent "Z-grill," was purchased for $935,000, then a record price for a piece of U.S. postage, according to a 2005 Times article.
