Open it and take it out of the U.S.P.S. Wrap or after a period of time (years) it will discolor. Don't ever leave any plastic wrap on any stamps from the P.O. They will discolor and the stamps be ruined. This includes the Celebrate the Century Series. You have been warned.The plastic wtrap is not acid free. There have been many, many articles written about this and I posted it and some of the links at our old forum. Stamp Bears 1.0

USPS's warped version of planned obsolescence...

no I haven't yet and I most likely never will unless I would need postage. The original intaglio printings looks the way they do because that process requires the paper me dampened prior to taking up the ink and as a result the ink bled just enough to provide that beautiful hue. Now they look like walmart stickers and since that USPS "lottery" gimmick I have lost all faith in them if I ever had any at all. Might sound harsh but can assure you I am not the only one that feels this way.

I collect United States Classics, classic covers, Tobacco related covers & bill-heads and World fair ephemera (prior to 1930's)

The planes on both were, alas, inverted as advertised.

I think somebody finally got my Bill Robey comment.

Or maybe everybody didn't think it was funny?

I guess I should go back to posting slapstick comedy, although the text version doesn't seem to be as funny...

latest sell ad in linns says selling for $75,000 USD! USPS says 10 have been reported, i guess many folks are not calling the usps special phone number included in the package to verify. Its also reported one dealer who bought hundreds got one and missed it first time thru all the packaging. Luckily he double checked or someone in his family with better eyes preformed the task.

I bought 8 sheets, but didn't get lucky. I kept two, and handed the rest out to my US colleagues (I'm from Europe). I got one person so interested, he started his own collection (Chinese new year stamps). The story behind the inverted Jenny is great, and it does get non-collectors interested in stamps.

Oh, well...

According to the count by Linn's, there should now be 15 known finds.

Don't know what to do with it, maybe display it as an adjunct to my C1-3 set? Dunno.
