In 1918, the U.S. postal service committed a blunder that's practically legendary – the Inverted Jenny. They printed a bunch of these stamps with an upside-down biplane. Remember, at the time, airplanes weren’t particularly widespread, making them unfamiliar to people. This led to the error of an upside-down plane, slipping through both inspectors and the post office clerk.
Fast forward to a recent auction where one of these bloopers, in almost perfect condition, sold for a whopping US$2 million! This stamp is the crown jewel of stamp blunders, with a grade of 95 on the perfection scale – just like the day it dodged out of the post office. So, this little oversight turned out to be a goldmine, proving that in the stamp world, mistakes make millions! What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?
