According to Alexander Séfi, because of his obsession with the "black on magenta," Hind (according to rumor) bought not only one of the stamps, but the other remaining one, and then destroyed one so that he would own the only one in the world.[6]
After Hind died, his American stamps were sold at auction for $247,000, in November 1933. The following February his nephew, F.J.M. Hinds, bought all the remaining stamps from the collection, preventing them from going to auction. He immediately transported them to England.[7]
