18 veiligheidsmensen bewaken momenteel op de filateliebeurs Antverpia 2010 één postzegel. Het gaat om de welbekende 'omgekeerde Dendermonde', heeft een cataloguswaarde van 75.000 euro en is hiermee de duurste Belgische postzegel ooit. Op veilingen bracht hij al tot 112.000 euro op. Hij werd in 1920 gedrukt in het Nederlandse Haarlem. Twee vellen met telkens 25 postzegels werden verkeerd gedrukt, waarvan het stadhuis van Dendermonde omgekeerd staat. Eén vel werd vernietigd, het andere verkocht aan een Gents postkantoor. Van de eerste oplage zijn momenteel 17 exemplaren gekend, 15 postfrisse en 2 afgestempelde. De enige gekende afstempeling is "Gand 13/8/1920". In 1942 werd een Brusselse postzegelhandelaar, die in het bezit was van twee exemplaren, vermoord. De moordenaar en de twee postzegels zijn nooit achterhaald. De post heeft zelf één van de zegels in haar kluizen liggen, en die wordt nu voor het eerst in 15 jaar tentoongesteld aan het grote publiek. Achttien mense...
