I reckon you should consider yourself lucky.
It was $35 about 10 years ago.
I see a few around from time to time
but nothing of that price.
I could be wrong but I'll keep an eye out in future.

George on this NG had an "HA" once, and someone offered $5
for it...he refused

My bid of $675 was immediately topped by a proxy bid. I will be

stamp (that I lost last time, too!) will fare.
