Just as Qatar was taking its initial steps into postal independence, the American Philatelic Society was taking bold steps to protect its members from many of the new countries in the middle east region that were using philately as a means to enrich their coffers.
As such, Qatar was soon included in the wide reaching program without too much a fuss. As we shall see later, this resulted in some stamp issues being rescinded from the list.
Click in the image below to see which five Qatar stamp issues were included in the 'Black Blot'.
I presume most of you, can easily find these stamps in the market. Perhaps a consequence of being blotted, making them less desirable to others.
