Awesome issue. I love some of the newer "throwback" issues like this one, the Columbians, the Lewis and Clark stamp and several others. They would make a nice exhibit theme. Best of luck Randy in finding that special sheet!

re: MODERN INVERTED JENNY
Michael is the only one I know who has hit paydirt on the Inverted Jenny. Do we know what the count is on the number of error sheets that have been discovered, out of the 100 printed?

Linn's had a follow-up article on this subject in the June 8, 2020 issue. Since November 2019, three more sheets have been reported, bringing the number of known and reported sheets up to 35. The last sheet reported was on April 8, 2020.
To get one of this issue from the Stamps Fulfillment Center may may be fishing in the wrong pond. Seems like I remember reading that all the right-side-up sheets were distributed for sale at post offices. Anyone else remember seeing that announcement?
That's correct. After the audit, and a sound thrashing to those who were responsible for this "lottery", which was illegal, the Inspector General ordered all Jenny sheets returned to the Stamp Fulfillment Center. They were kept there for quite some time while the investigation continued. when completed, the Inspector General permitted the sale of the stamps to resume, but only from the Stamp Fulfillment Center.
