Looks as if they were perforated with a pair of Pinking Shears.

I think the forgeries I have until the day I can get real ones are better copies than those.

I bet they was cut out of some type of philatelic magazine! Look carefully around the edges as you can clearly see the black ink of a frame-line and what look to be words.

The listing has been terminated by the Seller. While he has excellent Feedback, this is the FIRST lot of stamps he has sold for as far back as I checked his Feedback.

He takes consignments, and someone slipped him bogus stamps, and he didn't know the difference, it appears. I'd be about as good trying to sell baseball cards or cut-glass fly swatters...

I did message the seller and this was his response:

"Wow! That is a bummer! I bought them in a lot and looked for fakes to make sure but did not find any so I assumed there weren't any reproductions out there. I will revise the listing and end the item unsold! The only good thing out of this is I bought a stamp book to learn a little about stamps. "

He pulled the listing shortly afterwards. It helped him save face and prevented a Paypal chargeback and possible negative feedback for the seller.
