Buenos Aires “In Ps” tete-beche pair ($575,000)


A tete-beche stamp is basically what you call a stamp that has two stamps stuck together horizontally or vertically, where one half serves as a flipped or mirror image of the other half. 

Even in its “correct” iteration, this Buenos Aires stamp is incredibly valuable, with stamps in high condition being worth thousands of dollars.

Only one of these “error stamps” are known to exist.

There was a second stamp several decades ago, printed horizontally instead of vertically.

However, it is suspected that that stamp is no longer in existence.
