Another Rare eBay Collector Item

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

I saw this set of US $2 banknotes on eBay today.  Each is stamped and postmarked with a different Province of Canada stamp.

It can be yours for the very reasonable Buy It Now price of USD $312.00 or you can wait for this set to appear on the next "The Coin Show with Steve Bromberg".

Cheesy and gimmicky.   The USPS postal mark is July 4, 2014.   And what does the Canadian stamps have anything to do with $2 American bank note?

Yeah and where's the Nunavut one? 

When I opened this thread I was expecting to see the piece of "art", that was listed the other day.

Quite a bargain at $70,000 USD.

I checked with the eBay seller and the Nunavut version is available but it's a "special order" item.   :-D

Every time I think I see an item that is unbelievably rare...I am again surprised by even something more mind boggling

I am beginning to wonder if I should go through the trash cans at the Sunday school and pull out some of the children's artwork and get it mounted with a few Canadian banknotes....I'm sure I could do a little better in price if anyone would be interested

I think the listing price of the item is directly related to the provenance of the drawings which can be traced back to the artist Pablo Picasso who drew them as a child while vacationing in Nova Scotia.

Unfortunately, this cannot be true, since I know for a fact that Pablo Picasso never visited Nova Scotia

I would beg to differ.  I can reference a 1975 research paper released shortly after his death titled " The Undocumented Travels of Pablo Picasso and his Missing Childhood Drawings".

There is also a reference to this maritime trip in a track on Kanye West's just released album "The Life of Pablo".

That's cheap compared to a few of the other items the seller has for sale :-D
