The famous Inverted Jenny

[msfedxx]

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (AP) -- An absentee ballot was mailed with what may have been a rare stamp worth as much as $200,000 -- the famous Inverted Jenny -- but the envelope is in a box that by law can't be opened. http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/11/11/rare.stamp.ap/index.html

Nothing against Florida but every election something comes up with their ballot boxes, lol.

This was a normal Florida election problem. Today the front page on one of the sections was why a city had less people vote. Then had a picture of the ballet that showed the 2 main runners in different spots and not at the top(you had to look through a list of about 6 names). During and before the election cities were saying they were going to have problems. Then there was the Daylight savings problem with the computers. From my understanding, in almost 2 years they can open that box back up. Normally they just burn it but this time but they may get the stamp out this time.

That's a hoax if there ever was one. No one would use a real Jenny stamp to mail their absentee ballot, and then accidentally leave their name off the envelope.

Here, who else wants to get on the news this week?

I got sucked in once by some really good Titanic postcard forgeries.. I posted them on eBay as forgeries and made a 500% profit anyway! Turns out certain forgeries are rare too!
