US Scott 294 & Some People Are Out Of Their Minds

I would suspect that the bottom middle and left stamps got sent in for grading. That leaves 4 singles to get rid of. I agree, docgfd, this one has nice color. It hasn't been sitting in the sun!

I have a particular affinity to the Pan-Ams ---- I would not mind a PB like the one that got broken up! Too bad it is gone, now. Although not scarce by anyone's measure, it is still a pity to break up something that survived intact for over 100 years. I wonder who split it, and why. Simply to make a buck, or was there something going on with one of the stamps, or perhaps 1 or 2 hinged stamps with 4 or 5 NH.
