Download or read book The One Cent Magenta written by James Barron and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside look at the obsessive, secretive, and often bizarre world of high-profile stamp collecting, told through the journey of the world’s most sought-after stamp. When it was issued in 1856, it cost a penny. In 2014, this tiny square of faded red paper sold at Sotheby’s for nearly $9.5 million, the largest amount ever paid for a postage stamp at auction. Through the stories of the eccentric characters who have bought, owned, and sold the one-cent magenta in the years in between, James Barron delivers a fascinating tale of global history and immense wealth, and of the human desire to collect. One-cent magentas were provisional stamps, printed quickly in what was then British Guiana when a shipment of official stamps from London did not arrive. They were intended for periodicals, and most were thrown out with the newspapers. But one stamp survived. The singular one-cent magenta has had only nine owners since a twelve-year-old boy discovered it in 1873 as he sorted through papers in his uncle’s house. He soon sold it for what would be $17 today. (That’s been called the worst stamp deal in history.) Among later owners was a fabulously wealthy Frenchman who hid the stamp from almost everyone (even King George V of England couldn’t get a peek); a businessman who traveled with the stamp in a briefcase he handcuffed to his wrist; and John E. du Pont, an heir to the chemical fortune, who died while serving a thirty-year sentence for the murder of Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz. Recommended for fans of Nicholas A. Basbanes, Susan Orlean, and Simon Winchester, The One-Cent Magenta explores the intersection of obsessive pursuits and great affluence and asks why we want most what is most rare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stamp collecting is perhaps the greatest opportunity right now, of any collectibles. This is a must read if you are not sure stamps are right for you to get involved with! Why stamps are an incredible opportunity and how you can cash in on it is all laid out in this affordable guide! This isn't a get rich quick scheme or "system". The basics of stamp collecting and the types of stamps are covered. For years this author has passed up stamps. Dismissed them as nothing serious. In all honesty, they seemed boring. It wasn't until I acquired some rare stamps through a trade with a dealer that I started realizing and appreciating the remarkable thing they are. Each one not only tells a history and bears witness to our heritage, but they are perhaps the most widely accessible forms of collectible art: Each stamp is limited in it's edition, and each is unique to it's condition and it's cancellations. All that it takes to strike it rich is to have an oddity that no one else has. Very much detail and work goes into engraving the plates that printed the stamps, so it is no wonder they were always very desirable. Now, There is a decline in stamp collecting for various reasons. This book explains why this provides a remarkable once in a lifetime opportunity to get started with stamps. How you can get started, and why you should seriously consider them. The author even explains what made him see the light and convert from being only interested in coins and other such non paper collectibles, to becoming heavily involved in stamps! The book offers new insight perhaps even for those already involved, but mainly it attempts to be a starter guide with all the basics a new collector could want to know about. There is a rather large emphasis on the actually opportunity that can be found in stamps. Get your copy today and find out what you are missing! Or will you ignore opportunity knocking on your door once more? How many opportunities have you regretted missing? Do you really want to pass up another one?
