6、COLONEL先生不在纽约，而没有其他任何人想报价，他们害怕罗比的邮票不是唯一的“倒转”邮票。当罗比的邮票发现的消息扩散开后，很多人声称找到了其它这样的邮票。很快证实那些话都不真实。 7. Robey left New York without having made a sale, and stopped in Philadelphia on the way home. There, dealer Eugene Klein arranged to buy the sheet for $15,000, and finally did buy it. Within a few days, Klein sold the sheet to Colonel Green, the same collector whom Robey had failed to contact in Texas at the time, and that Klein phoned him there and sold him the sheet, sight unseen, for $20,000! Robey's sheet had cost him $24, and his profit was $14,976 while Klein gained $5,000. 7、罗比没有卖出邮票离开纽约，回家的路上他停脚费城。在那儿，邮票商克林安排15000美元收购全版“倒转票”，最终成交。几天之内，克林转手全版“倒转票”给COLONEL先生，就是在德州与罗比失之交臂的那个邮票商，而当克林打电话给德州的COLONEL先生，卖给他全版“倒转票”时，他看都没看，出价20000美元！罗比付出24美元买全版“倒转票”，他的利润是14976美元，而克林先生赚了5000美元。 8. Of the 100 stamps first bought by Mr. obey, stamp collectors are now able to account for 90. What has happened to the others is not known. When a copy is offered for sale, it is a major event in the stamp world. A single such stamp has been sold for as much as $6,500. Few people have ever even seen a copy. Yet no matter how much this valuable stamp is bought and sold, no owner can match the thrill that W.T.Robey had on that day in 1918 when he made America's luckiest stamp find! 8、罗比先生最先购买到的100枚邮票中，现在集邮者们能统计出的仅有90枚。没有人知道另外一些邮票的下落和故事。今天，一个“倒转票”的拷贝出售都是集邮界的大事。仅仅单枚这样的邮票曾经卖到6500美元。甚至是复制品也几乎没有人看到过。不论这种价值极高的邮票卖多少钱、买多少钱，没有一个所有者的兴奋可与罗比在1918年发现最幸运的美国邮票那天的兴奋相比！ 本新闻共2页,当前在第2页 1 2
