In 2014, this tiny square of faded red paper sold at Sotheby's for nearly 10 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 when a shipment of official stamps from London did not arrive in British Guiana. They were mostly thrown out with the newspapers; one stamp survived. The singular One-Cent Magenta has had nine owners since a twelve-year-old boy rediscovered it in 1873. He soon sold it for what would be 17 today. Among later owners was a wealthy French nobleman who hid the stamp from almost everyone; a businessman who traveled with the stamp in a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist; and John E. du Pont, who died while serving a thirty-year sentence for the murder of Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz. The One-Cent Magenta explores the intersection of obsessive pursuits and great affluence and asks why we want most what is most rare.One-Cent Magenta, The 769.569881Barron James1434911Yen JonathannrtAUDIO9910163402803321One-Cent Magenta, The : Inside the Quest to Own the Most Valuable Stamp in the World3591966UNINA00825nam0-22003011i-450 99000568967040332120230801101640.0000568967FED01000568967(Aleph)000568967FED0100056896719990604d1964----km-y0itay50------baitayf------00---Paolo UccelloLuciano BertiMilanoFratelli Fabbric19643 c., 16 tav.35 cm<<I >>maestri del colore29Uccello, Paolo75921itaPaolo Uccello<1397-1475>329702ITUNINARICAUNIMARCBK990005689670403321759 MAE 1 (29)ST.ARTE 10559FLFBCFLFBCPaolo Uccello601925UNINA
