   I'm doing research for a book in which a comparative is needed to establish   
   rarity, one perhaps regarding stamps.   
      
   Is there, in the stamp-collecting realm, a stamp that would be the "holy   
   grail" of collecting? A stamp that may, indeed, not even exit, but is   
   discussed nonetheless? A stamp that may have a dubious, exaggerated history   
   . . . say a stamp that might have been printed, a few copies stolen and   
   spirited away?   
      
   The art world, with which I'm more familiar, has examples of the "lost   
   notebooks of Da Vinci" and so forth; do such tales exist in stamp   
   collecting?   
      
   Thanks for any assistance.
