Is this stamp worth anything?

I inherited a stamp collection from my grandfather. One of the stamps has an upside down airplane on it. Anyone know the value?

Look on the back. If there is a sheet position noted in pencil, then maybe.

It's a defective stamp - Bring it back to the post office and they'll issue you a replacement stamp.

Yeah it's funny to read in Linn's and elsewhere how a stamp collector will happen to be at a post office where someone returns a "defective sheet" (missing die-cuts etc) and get a regular sheet as a replacement having no idea the "defective " one is of great value, of course the stamp collector then picks up the defective one at face. People can be pretty dumb.

That upside-down airplane stamp (or however many of them still survive) has got to be the most recognizable stamp in existence.

Anybody remember that Simpsons episode where he's going thru a rummage sale box and comes up with a sheet of these stamps, an Action 1 comic book, a lost copy of the Declaration of Independence, etc.?
