Bought a collection on Craigslist this past weekend that was 90% US but this sheet was also included. Just wondering if it's actually real. All the sheets I see on ebay are different

thanks

I don't see anything that would lead me to believe it's a fake. It's a standard sheet of Poland Generalgouvernement Michel #91.

I have top strips of 5 (with selvage) of three other denominations, that show the same eagle, etc. Looks OK to me.

Probably because the ones you've seen on ebay portray the definitive stamps (Michel Generalgouvernement 71 - 88) issued in 1941

like this 1.20 Zloty (Michel 87) engraved one:



or this (Michel 85) 80 Groschen Photogravure example



whereas your sheet (Michel Generalgouvernement 91) is part of the semipostal set issued in 1942 for Hitler's 53 Birthday.


The Michel Deutschland I have does not list any quantities for these nor for any other Third Reich issues but the print runs must have been huge since most of these stamps are basically worth nothing.
Does the Michel Specialized show quantities?

No mention of quantities printed of any Generalgouvernement in my old Spezial. The OP's stamp is so common, unfortunately, it is priced in sheet sets as well as sets of singles.
