Today, a good friend asked me to look at what a seller claimed to be printing company discarded stamps.
Possibly a valuable variety.
As philatelists and collectors, we are always looking for a unique piece for our collection, so the temptation to purchase these too good to be true offers remains strong.
On a closer inspection they proved to be forgeries.
Below I include three slides clarifying the reasons for the claim.
As always, the more valuable a stamp, the more likely it will be subject to forgeries.
Whenever possible, depend on reputable dealers.
