I have been keeping an eye on eBay in the hopes of picking up one of these flown stamps but I haven't seen one. I was under the impression that 500,000 were out there so I'm surprised I haven't been able to find one. Are these more difficult to find than the STS-8 cover (which I see all time time)? Also, what should I expect to pay for one when I find one?

I have seen one for sale on Astro-Auction for $29.99. If you really want one I would say that is a good price.

I ordered one of those, unsigned, from USPS when they first came out. My check was cashed, but I never received it. I finally gave up.

As noted in the buy, sell, and trade category, I also have one of those envelopes, but unsigned, for sale.

All times are CT (US)
