Kiloware Rare Finds Stories

Hey I am new to the hobby , and I am sorting a very huge set of kiloware stamps on paper and off.
and I need more motivation
i would like from folks to share in that post their stories of rare finds
thank you all

I got this several years ago when I bought a skid of 22 boxes covers. Scott U586a. took me several months of searching but I enjoyed the hunt! The variety is worth over $1000.

Postmarked at Warren Haynes hometown.

GREAT FIND
THANK YOU 3193zd FOR SHARING YOUR FIND

I've never seen one like that. The return address and the addressee make it even more interesting. It's kind of like a commercial cover. Nice find.

A person at the hendersonville water dept saved all the covers people sent their checks in for about 10 years.

See http://goscf.com/t/86916 "Sometimes Treasure Can Be Found".

A tattered and ordinary looking cover from 1911 with a starting bid of $1.95 on eBay sells for $5500.

Less than 20 of this "Orangeburg Coil" are known to exist on cover, and it has a catalog value of $25,000. Not a bad day for the seller who thought it was just a dollar-box cover.


My best kiloware find was a used US 22 cent "Stamp Collecting" booklet single 2198b with black color omitted. The unused missing color booklet pane is $50, I don't know what a used single is worth, but it's gotta be more than the 2 or 3 cents that I paid for the stamp in the kiloware.



(p.s. 3193zd, I've always wondered what your avatar was about, and now I understand. Thanks for the explanation).
