Another case of it's my stamp, it must be rare.

love the description:

" Cancelled 3 cent stamp. Still has the glue on the back. Crease down the center (not noticeable on stamp). Great for any collector!"

The seller found the issue date so they know its real worth is nothing. The puzzling thing is always why do what they do? It is silly, moronic, stupid, idiotic and needs a buyer with similar attributes. Wait a minute!

I'm guessing that the second seller saw the first one and nervously raced to to put this beauty up for sale.

As was discussed in a previous thread, for U.S. stamps they don't get much rarer than this one.

You would think they would at least offer free shipping. What a joke.

Well… since I have sooooo many of these rarities, I'm certain that I will make the list of the wealthiest persons in the world according to Forbes in the very near future.

There is a easy way to explain this to the ebay seller ,this is how I do it .

Dear TRAVIODO-5 .I see your selling a rare stamp on ebay . If you need more of the $110.00 rare stamp ,I want to help you out . I can sell you another 100 of those stamps for $3.00 and I will pay all shipping cost ,this will give you a profit of over 3,300 % on your purchase. Good luck on your business .

I've done this in the past as well... it usually results in a reply filled with expletives.

Back in the day, around 25 years ago, there was a weird stamp investment fad with people advertising the Sierra Leone "Face on Mars" set for $10,000,usually in the Linn's classified pages. A writer for Linn's wrote a couple of these people offering a complete set for $100, which was the Scott value at the time. He got no takers.

I got my set of the Face on Mars issues a few years ago for about $25.00.
