Danmark Sollested Cancel 1906 (Look In Your Collection)

One of the secrets in Danish philatelie is the famous imperf stamp
Scott:54a with the Sollested cancel.Only 18 examples are known.
A strip of 3,pairs & singles.
Too make the story short;one day in the town of Sollested the postmaster
received(1906) as usual their stock of stamp sheets.(Sound familiar?)Inside was one
sheet imperfed!
It was a busy postoffice, but nevertheless the postal employee
(unknown exactly who) cut up the sheet and sold these stamps.Why he did not
remove or return the defective sheet is also unknown.
In those years there was frequent mail exchange with Poland which was
very close.Some beleive there may be some examples hidden away in Poland!
The author tells the story in the link below.(Will have to translate).

recently sold for 56.000, which is roughly $9500 + fees

Hi Sorsh: What I was wondering about is the fact that all the
known examples are with wide margins.They were sold from 1906-07.
That means they were sold little by little?.Covers are rare?
What happened to the rest of the sheet?

Do you have any stamps with this cancel?

1 sheet must have made it through the control, an imperf sheet would have been destroyed or placed back in the "to be perforated" pile.

Søllested was a small town in 1906, and 15øre isn't local or country postage rate, this combined would mean that it wasn't a value that was used alot. That explains the long usage periode.

i don't own a Søllested stamp, it's not my area of focus so I won't place that much money on something like this.

if you meant if I have the Søllested cancellation, I wouldn't know, but could look for one.

20% survivability is quite high, and I don't think many more will appear in these internet days, the rest would have discared by recievers or destroyed by the goverment.
