A rather poor job of cutting out the Schermack perforations. Better fakes exist made using a perforating machine set up to punch Schermack perforations similar to ones used to punch fake Bureau perforations. The problem with the one below is that it is the wrong shade.  |

The seller is an expert in US stamps - which makes his ebay conduct that much more reprehensible. |

Anthony's has been a big time stamps player in NY for 30 years. They have no excuse. |

The seller clearly knows what he is doing:
1. it is advertised as "as is".
2. If he thought it was real, he get a cert and send it to Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries.
If he had integrity, he'd sell it as a fake space-filler.

Those Schermack emulations aren't even well cut.
I seldom ask, but in this case I will: Who run's "Anthony's?"

They might actually be worse than NY Stamps. I avoid both of them like the plague. I do have to wonder why someone with a 30yr reputation would risk it selling obvious fakes. Maybe his age is a factor, or lesser experienced family member taking over???? |

It sold for $363.55
His description says "Sold "As Is" With No Guarantee A Filler"
I suspect someone else is running the operation now. No real expert would make this error in the SCV of a block of 12 of the 505 error. The description notes that it is VLH, which reduces the SCV from the listed $2000 to only $1300. I have notified the seller of same. |
