Here is a set of 1971 Chad airmail stamps that I posted here under the CLASSIC STAMPS heading but I think it should be posted here under the U.S.CLASSIC Stamps also . The 10 cent Wasington stamp is engraved and the size is close ,so a unethical seller could pass it off here as real and on the internet to a possible buyer as a original .

People don't get fooled; they fool themselves.

Yeah, sure, that's harsh; but if we buy something we know next to nothing about, what do we think is gonna happen?

We can pay with cash, or we can pay with the time & effort required to learn, but we gotta pay.

Cheers,

Is it just me or does that look like a Sperati?

Sperati forgeries can bring a decent buck if authenticated. I am no longer amazed at what sells on ebay.

This is an obvious cut-out which will not fool anyone looking to buy this particular stamp.

This is a world where people still continue to believe Nigerian princes are going to bequeath them millions if they only send a few thousand to facilitate. Never underestimate what people will unknowingly bid upon on ebay.

$5 says you could put it up on the bay as "U.S. #2 Ultrarare Chadonian essay LQQK!" and someone would pay a bunch for it.
