Scott #1 and #2........

goose3

Always wanted to snag this pair.....

are there any Reputable dealers/people that regularly handle these? I would have to have them "Slabbed" since I know basically nothing about stamps.

Regency/Superior's Stamphall monthly auctions always has multiple #1's and usually #2's. Their site is www.regencystamps.com. Most dealers will have several #1's; fewer of the #2's. The APS site, stamps.org, will list many dealers. There are lots for reputable dealers and I believe there was an earlier thread of listing some. If you are looking for specimens already graded/certified, expect to pay a premium. Are you looking for superb examples or just the stamp to fill a slot. Pen cancels and other things decrease the value dramatically so get the knowledge before laying down the cash. Some people like pen cancels; others detest them; but it does decrease the value. Reputable dealers make mistakes too and might have missed a fault/flaw.

I can't remember off the top of my head, but there is a major dealer that only deals in graded/cert stamps. If you like the #1 and #2, have you considered getting the #3 and #4 to make the set.

Here's a link to Posner's site for some graded issues;

I always liked the Graf Zeppelins too.


has anyone sold un upsidedown biplane in recent years? what did it fetch?

UncleWiggly

Yes, but not me. I'll try to find the article. But a block of 4 was recently sold and made the news. I believe a NY finacier/stock guru of some sort bought it or traded for it. They are affectionally referred to as Jennys'
