I suppose that they weren't bought by some uninformed collectors, who will
never recover their money, but by some kind of investors who know what
they're doing.

I received my shipment from the USPS fulfillment center yesterday. I usually order from the catalog I receive via US Mail at the time the stamps become available. I received everything ordered EXCEPT the Baseball All-stars press sheet. I called the USPS Fulfillment center this morning. I was told that the sheet sold out on July 9th, well ahead of the first day of issue 7/20-21/2012. She said that those that ordered online received their orders. This seems to indicate that those who ordered via USPS, like me, were disappointed. I guess that the message is, if something is important, do NOT USE THE USPS. As was already pointed out this smacks of the National Parks issue (so called "Farley" issue) from the 1930's. I am starting to see these press sheets being offered for sale at several multiples of their purchase price. Makes one wonder about who was cooperating with who?
