One uncut 120-stamps press sheet of US Major League Baseball All-Stars,

Only 1,000 of them were available. Source: Linn's Stamp News on-line.
I suppose that they weren't bought by some uninformed collectors, who
will never recover their money, but by some kind of investors who know
what they're doing.
I sure they are pretty in a way, but their size makes them really awkward
to properly store or display without damage.
For a stamp collector it is surely true. Years ago I had such a storage
problem with an uncut Canadian sheet, that's why it is still in the
condition the post sent it to me.
I suppose that it is nevertheless easier to store such a sheet than an old
wedding dress, picture, car or locomotive.
