1000 sheets!!! So they spent $12K?!? I imagine they'll get their money back and then some if they sell it quickly. But still...
I don't think he's going to sell it. At least not at this time. He is working on a philatelic exhibit on the sheet with all the varieties from the printing. The upright sheet will be the crown of that exhibit. Maybe after he displays the exhibit at a few shows he'll sell it. He'll definitely get his money back.
It's been quite a while since the last find was announced.
Michael:
I bet he'll lose points because some judge will say the exhibit is not complete without a 1918 Inverted Jenny!
Sheeeesh!

I wouldn't be surprised if he already owned one!

Linn's is reporting that the 24th upright Jenny sheet has been discovered. A collector from Arizona purchased it from the Stamp Fulfillment Center in Kansas City. He and another collector had purchased about 1000 sheets before finding the upright version.
76 still remain out there.
