I found this in my Grandma's attic last weekend - is it worth anything? I am thinking about listing it on ebay and starting it at 99 cents.

Don, I think there's a seller in France who would be interested in this. He seems to have some high quality material for sale. He'd probably give you a good price for this amazing block! Get in touch with him!!

Considering the going price for a single, I'd say you have about $70,000,000 worth of stamps there, subject to a clean cert. Maybe even more, as they are in much better shape than the $9 million single. Given that, you might also want to have them graded.

PSE will grade this 100J, but only if you cut through 3 adjacent stamps to make the remaining one a jumbo.

Keep one.

Put it on ebay.

Burn the rest.

Tell bidders to check the calendar.

Those who don't catch on learn a lesson.

A day not learning something is a wasted day.

Don

Probably best to stub a cigar out on them to maintain the value of your used copy, as the Mr Hind story goes.
