Infamous "Inverted Jenny" Stamp No. 49 resurfaces a century later

That’s an interesting story there. My dad is a philatelist, and used to run a small home business dealing pre-1950’s worldwide stamps, so the Jenny’s were always regarded with a kind of near-mythic splendor. He never possessed one of them upside-down-airplane stamps, but corresponded with a collector who did. He did however at one time have a notable collection of the Penny Black, which was the world’s first adhesive postage stamp.
