Usually when your Photobucket photos disappear from a forum post, it is because they get deleted from your Photobucket library. Are your photos still in your Photobucket library ? If they are, just click on the photo then click on the IMG box to the right of the photo and paste it here.

Thanks for the photos. Always interesting to see things like that that you don't get to see every day.

Guessing there was a stack of 100 sheets that got messed up somehow, maybe miscut. This would ruin 50 consecutive straps of 100 notes, explaining the multiple straps of star notes in the same bundle. Not mislabled, as the label is unchanged to aid with counting, I guess. Now you just happen to know exactly which notes do not exist.
But I could be wrong as I don't exactly know how the LEPE system works for serializing and printing just yet.

Photos answer some of my questions. Looks legit.
I would be tempted to open the brick up and check out the straps of notes to see exactly how many and what stars are included in the brick.

Whats the pro and cons to opening? Is there more value in leaving it sealed? If these bills are in numerical order, no chance of having a fancy star, so I don't see any reason not to open... Unsearched ebay lot? |

One Brick = 4 bundles = meaning a brick is 4000 notes.
Now that we got the FYI out of the way.
I have seen One of these in the past before and SN started at ABCD 0001.
This bundle starts at ABCD 8801 - This is key - meaning it starts midstream of a bundle.
Pros - if you accept my above statement are true and random bundles midstream then you have no idea if there are really good sn's in the bundle.
Cons - I have had bundles in the past with star straps - that were in between regular straps - meaning mislabeling at BEP. EVEN though this STRAP looks to be a FULL start at beginning. Not sure 2nd to 10th.
I Have searched enough to know better.
My 2 cents. and good luck

Oh alright. I guess I thought that's what the candy striping on the straps meant.

Steve - The Bundle is still Sealed. I spoke with a seller on the Bay and he said his Brick of 100 was all Star Notes with Consecutive Numbers. I still haven received any Good Feedback from the BEP or there web site .I also haven't tslked to some of the Leading Auction Sites to see when they Sold a Brick of Star Notes last.So far I am going to leave it sealed with the San Francisco label starting ( K ) Seriel Number I am still waiting to see the BEP Printing Number's for this series

I guess where I'm confused is... Does the BEP ever label the barcode sticker with the star note number? I ask because, as far as I know, the largest amount of notes replaced by star notes at one time is a strap of 100, so there's no need to label a bundle of 1,000 with the star serial.
I'm just not seeing anything out of the ordinary with this labeling, to the extent of my knowledge, with isn't all that extensive.
As a side note, uncirculated straps of stars frequently get $130 on another forum I frequent.

Based on the SN's it's series 2013 with run size of 9.6 Mil FOR the first strap. Rest of the straps - until opened is dicey at best as it does not start at X001 and starts at X801 for a bundle. Good luck with it. Check uspapermoney.info edit below As coin searcher stated above star straps sell for around 130 to 150 on ebay and who would want 1000 notes of unseen numbers and a whole stack of stars.
