I'm sure all the GB collectors will recognize this "Rare George VI" stamp. What is more interesting is that the seller includes imagery of items NOT offered AND has a reserve on this badly trimmed postal stationery item. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2949426917&category=3508

How big a problem is counterfeiting of stamps? I'm thinking of those sold in the collector market and not the common ones used everyday for postage. I notice there is a "buyer beware" notice about stamps on Ebay. Was this the result of a lot of complaining from stamp collectors seeing...
