So, this is from the end of the 'missing' 3 million FMFs, yes?   Anyone know where the other half sheet is?   How can BoC release something like this and not make similar items available to the public?  (Yeah, I know that's a rhetorical question.)  ;-)

I think this note would go for 3500 bucks. People say I'm good at predicing things.

The fact that it's an obsolete issue and not a current issue will, in all likelihood, permanently protect the rarity of the item. It's unlikely that there are many other sheets out there. A realization exceeding $5000 is not out of the question as so many collectors desire to possess one-of-a-kind and ultra-rare items.

If the owner really wanted to make a profit on this, he could have folded it up carefully, cut it up, and be left with 20 "folding and cutting errors" that would sell for maybe $250+ each.  That's $5,000 plus for the whole shebang.

This is why I am strongly suspect of any "folding and cutting error" note that pops up.
