I bought this U.S. STAMP at the Long Beach Expo in 2003, at which time I paid around $4,500 for it.  I am breaking up some of my collection, and offering the higher value items individually. 

 

World's Columbian Exposition, World's Fair. Chicago, IL, U.S.A.
The World's Columbian Exposition was a world's fair held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. The centerpiece of the Fair, the large water pool, represented the voyage Columbus took to the New World. Chicago had won the right to host the fair over several other cities, including New York City, Washington, D.C., and St. Louis. The Exposition was an influential social and cultural event and had a profound effect on architecture, sanitation, the arts, Chicago's self-image, and American industrial optimism.
