The ÒJenny InvertÓ became the worldÕs most famous stamp, and the 100 examples were eagerly sought after by prominent collectors. Billionaire investor Bill Gross was one of them.In 2005, Gross paid $2.97 million to buy the unique Jenny Invert Plate-Number Block. He then exchanged the block of four stamps for the 1868 1¢ Z Grill owned by Don Sundman, president of Mystic Stamp Company, in a one-for-one trade that made international headlines.Another block of four Jenny Inverts is on permanent display at the National Postal Museum in Washington, DC, courtesy of Mr. Gross. The display was unveiled at the opening of the museumÕs new gallery, which was funded largely by his generosity. Named in his honor, the William H. Gross Stamp Gallery is the worldÕs largest philatelic showcase. The 12,000-square-foot facility houses some of the greatest stamp rarities and is a mecca for collectors around the world.To commemorate the galleryÕs opening in 2013, the US Postal Service issued a souvenir sheet of six $2 Jenny Inverts. This sheet was printed using plates created from the original 1918 dies. Now collectors can see the legendary Jenny Inverts on display and add a reprint of the famous ÒUpside-Down AirplaneÓ stamps to their own collection.The selvage artwork around the stamps pictures the National Postal Museum, aviation pioneer Reuben H. Fleet, a map of the first scheduled Air Mail route, and a compass rose.
