The five-line cachet indicates that this card was to travel on the final leg of the journey fromPasadena to Long Beach. However, before he could complete this journey, the Flyer crashedupon takeoff from his stop at Compton, leaving Rodgers seriously injured and with the planecompletely wrecked. This is when the three-line handstamp was applied. One month later,Rodgers had recovered just enough to complete the last leg with a totally rebuilt plane. Thislanded him a position in history books as the first pilot to fly across the entire United States.

This card is believed to be one of seven known from the wreck of the “Vin Fiz” Flyer atCompton, California. An incredible piece of early aviation history in the United Statesand wonderful example for the crash cover collector. (photo) Est. 4,000-5,000

1894 Sixty Cent Pink Newspaper Stamp

One of Only Four Recorded Used Examples

235

235 � #PR98, 60c Pink, used, with neat duplex cancel, fairly strong color, thin at top and alight horizontal crease, fine appearance.

With this newly recorded example, the Philatelic Foundation has certified a total of twentycopies of #PR98, sixteen unused and only four used. Despite this large difference in rarity, theScott catalog prices unused much higher ($55,000.00 vs. $16,000.00). This particular exam-ple is quite desirable, having a clear contemporary duplex cancel and its faults are quite min-imal considering the numerous faults and/or repairs that plague nearly all of the few knownused Bureau Issue newspaper stamps. The Scott catalog specifically notes that values are forstamps with “fine centering and small faults”.

An important rarity for the collector of newspaper stamps or used United States stamps.Accompanied by a 2012 PF certificate. (photo) 16,000.00
