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.

Excerpt from Catalogue of a Very Fine Collection of American and Foreign Postage Stamps, Including Unused U. S. Envelopes, Cut and Entire, and Beautiful Proof of a $5, 000 Revenue Stamp: Owned by the Late Charles H. Edeson, Manager Stamp Department Scott and Company, and Sold for the Benefit of His Widow at Public Auction, Without Reserve Stamp auctions are too well established to need any recommendation from us. There are but few collectors who have not reaped the ad van tage of this method of purchase, where, independently of buying in com petition with dealers at first price, often at less than cost, they have the public guarantee of a responsible house as to the genuineness of the stamps purchased. The name of scott on the title page is sufficient guarantee. Of the accuracy of the description, and that the sale will be conducted with perfect good faith to all concerned, whether they are present in the room or make their purchases through agents. Collectors living at too great a distance from New York to attend in person, may have their orders executed by the auctioneers, the scott stamp coin company, L'D., or other dealers, for a commission of 10 per cent, on amounts under $100; over $100, 5 per cent. A uniform charge of fifty cents made on any amount under 85. In reference to the method of selling at auction, we should say that each lot is sold to the highest bidder, at so much for each stamp in the lot; so, if you desire a lot of stamps which contains 10 pieces, and you wish to pay for it, you should bid 10 cents each. Always state your highest price, relying on the honor of those you employ to make the purchase for you at the lowest possible figure. The stamps will be on exhibition at the Auction Rooms, on the day of the sale, from 10 A. M. To 5 P. M. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
