About This Item
Auction catalogue. Fine. Softcover. Sale of the British Guiana. The stamp sold for over $9 million, the fourth time it had achieved a record price for a stamp. The stamp and it's ownership has an amazing history since it's initial issue in 1859. Somebody could make a movie about it's history. The catalogue is thoroughly researched and well written, as would be expected for a major auction featuring one item. The catalogue is in fine, like new condition.

About mark mcdonald
Book collector for over 30 years. I'm retired and ready to sell. I buy almost exclusively from estate sales and since I've lived in Dallas my whole life, I know the people and where to go. I am a low volume collector and seller and deal in higher quality books. I have a lot of signed and inscribed books. These signatures have not been officially authenticated, but I am confident in their authenticity so I will guarantee them in perpetuity if it can be reasonably demonstrated that the signature is incorrect. .
