I don't own the block above. It was sold to someone else in a Michael Aldrich auction on August 26. The price realized page is here: http://stampauctionnetwork.com/b/b6011.cfm#29. I'm sorry I missed the sale, since the block went for $130. The Scott value for this block is $425. Clearly demand for this sort of material is not so great. Especially when I looked today on the same Stamp Auction Network site and find stamps with catalog values of $10 selling for nearly $2000. Stamp grading is generally bad for the hobby, but it does seem to be attracting the faddists and speculators into other areas. The homely battleship seems safe.
