    Default $200,000 locked in a box? =)

    ..aint that a b!tch.

    "FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (AP) -- An absentee ballot was mailed with what may have been a rare stamp worth as much as $200,000 -- the famous Inverted Jenny -- but the envelope is in a box that by law can't be opened."

    That is one hell of an expensive vote!!!


    From the non-sensical-miscleny department:
    Hey we have an Jenny here, does she do inverts and how did she get on a stamp?

    I wonder if Aussie post would allow a custom Cally stamp, or if she would be too hot for them.

    The article said that once the stamp was mailed, it reduced the value of it to anywhere from $20k to $100k. Still a hunk of change, but not quite the $200k they're trumpeting.

    Correct, but I thought $200,000 looked beter than $20,000 for the title of the thred

    Seriously, they have to be insane to waste a stamp like that. Who did they vote for!
