Fake topical stamps sold on eBay
Nothing compared to the huge amounts of fake and altered stuff
appearing, supposedly from 'old guard' countries! One 'offer' is for a clearly photo reproduction of a block of Penny Blacks - priced at ONLY $200! As always - it's BUYER BEWARE !

Fake topical stamps sold on eBay
It is old news that the topical stamp collectors largely outnumber those of
classical/traditional material. For this reason, the offer for the former is considerably bigger than the one for the traditional collectors, the topical stamps that mimic legit issues being produced in much larger quantities. Of course, all fake stamps should be fought, and one way to do it is to inform the stamp collectors about their existence, what we both did. Another way to fight them is to involve the government protection authorities in the discovery and punishment of important forgers. It was done in time for the protection of the traditional stamp collectors but AFAIK it was never done for the protection of the topical collectors, who are systematically and aggressively invaded by offers for illegal issues. These issues, that flood the markets for the last about 20 years, are those that were/are produced without the permission of any postal authority. This was the reason behind my page and my posting. Much more about illegal issues can be found on the PWO site.

Of course, all fake stamps should be fought, and one way to do it is to
inform the stamp collectors about their existence, what we both did. But the NEW crop of 'traditional stamp fakes and forgeries' are not being 'fought', not even by the vaunted 'Societies'. Another way to fight them is to involve the government protection authorities in the discovery and punishment of important forgers. It was done in time for the protection of the traditional stamp collectors but AFAIK it was never done for the protection of the topical collectors, who are systematically and aggressively invaded by offers for illegal issues. Yes, such as Delcampe, EBay, HIP Stamps ...! The flood of bogus issues for the 'traditional stamps' is increasing far faster than those of the topical modern non-issues. What's perhaps worse if the value LOST by those taken in. Once a young or beginning collector is taken in, they often leave the hobby for good. So whether 'traditional' or 'topical' ALL ARE A THREAT!
