Linn's is reporting that the 24th upright Jenny sheet has been discovered. A collector from Arizona purchased it from the Stamp Fulfillment Center in Kansas City. He and another collector had purchased about 1000 sheets before finding the upright version.

76 still remain out there.

1000 sheets!!! So they spent $12K?!? I imagine they'll get their money back and then some if they sell it quickly. But still...

I don't think he's going to sell it. At least not at this time. He is working on a philatelic exhibit on the sheet with all the varieties from the printing. The upright sheet will be the crown of that exhibit. Maybe after he displays the exhibit at a few shows he'll sell it. He'll definitely get his money back.

It's been quite a while since the last find was announced.

Michael:

I bet he'll lose points because some judge will say the exhibit is not complete without a 1918 Inverted Jenny!

Sheeeesh!

I wouldn't be surprised if he already owned one!

A friend of mine once exhibited a fabulous collection of Occupied Malaya postal history. He got a vermeil medal, not a gold, because he didn't have one representative cover, which he could have bought, if he could afford it which he couldn't, for only $2,000. To me, that seems nothing less than prejudicial. Under the same "rules," I suppose that a collection illustrating the history of postal errors wouldn't get a gold medal if it didn't include Mauritius "Post Office, "Treskilling Yellow," and "Inverted Jenny" stamps, not to mention dozens of others.

I have, fortunately, worked with many judges who are intelligent, common-sense people who have reasonable expectations about exhibits.

Good to know! Now I won't have to buy one to complete my collection of philatelic errors! Big Grin But, seriously, I didn't know that. It certainly seems like an error!
