Schlegel Auctions Berlin has, as lot #1 in their auction closing May 15, what is anticipated to become the most valuable modern postage stamp. The unique, 1980 Olympics stamp, produced for the Moscow Olympics, but which entire run was destroyed, when Germany boycotted the Olympics. However, the Post Minister at the time, Kurt Gscheidle had what I presume was a proof sheet (Google Translate says, "template sheet") which his wife mistakenly enclosed with a piece of correspondence for return postage. Here is a link to that lot, if you are interested in bidding. auktion.auktionshaus-schlegel.de/.../A32-1.html
