Don't worry, I'll take very good care of your little bits of green cash. Would anyone like to purchase my mint set for a small fee of $799US? I'm sure you have this small amount just sitting around waiting for me to come along and remove such pieces of paper from your wallets/purses. Is he really a con artist,& does anyone know what he is up to now? My father bought a lot of things from Feinstein. I bought 2 sets, that were a lot, lot cheaper, bug I huess I got ripped off. I heard that someone in Canada bought a set for $12,000. People will love to read such kind information as they get many benefits regarding this topic. You've shared the stamp, it's really great, and you've provided information about stamps, it's very valuable.

A July 2009 eBay testimonial from “one of the idiots” who bought the stamp set.

“Face on Mars investors saw only red ink,” a lengthy but excellent article in the May/June 2006 issue of The Texas Philatelist: The Journal of the Texas Philatelic Association.

“Feinstein's universe: Alan Shawn Feinstein: You know the name, but do you know how he made his money?” a lengthy 2004 article in The Providence Journal that provides insight into Feinstein’s character.

Here are a few links to get you started on reading about this clever scam: In the wake of the publication of The Monuments of Mars came mail-order millionaire and philanthropist Alan Shawn Feinstein, his 1990 $135 'Face on Mars' stamp set issued through the West African government of Sierra Leone, and gullible collectors who bid the price of the set up into the thousands of dollars. He even wrote a nearly-bestselling 'nonfiction' book about it: The Monuments of Mars: A City of the Edge of Forever (1987, 5th edition, 2002). Hoagland theorized that the face was part of the ruins of a civilization constructed by intelligent extraterrestrial aliens. Despite NASA’s insistence that the photo depicted nothing more than natural geological features, a small group of individuals believed that the geological features in the photo formed a face. They even sell for more than face value, used.The Smithsonian Institution takes a look back at NASA’s 1976 Viking Orbiter Mission and the infamous aerial photograph it shot of the 'Face' in the Cydonia region on Mars. Whoa! Just looked up the value of the Pathfinder stamps. Sure, I can use them to mail things - but figure there's a stamp collector out there who may want them. Much to my surprise, I found several $3.00 Mars Pathfinder stamps in their presentation covers along with several plastic sealed 'Escaping Gravity from Earth' with two $3.20 hologram stamps on each. Was cleaning out my closet and came across a USPS bag. Topic: FS: Mars Pathfinder, Escaping Gravity stamps
