1995: The auction of the Honolulu Advertiser Collection — the most valuable collection of stamps put up for auction in the United States — begins in New York. It ultimately sells for "just shy" of $9.8 million. The top price of the sale was $2.09 million for an 1852 letter mailed with Hawai'i's first stamp, the 2-cent Missionary. The stamp collection was owned by Persis Corp., a private investment company headed by Thurston Twigg-Smith, former owner of The Advertiser.
