Re: Modern Fake Stamps Are Flooding The Market

I can't recall a more disagreeable campaigner for what might be a good cause. Shodan's above reply is as unprofessional as using garish colors on a website. But then again, everyone is wrong about everything, so it matters not.

"Sorry for the slow download but the server is run off my PC via Comcast. It is possible you have an issue on your end"

So you host a website on your PC and the issue is on visitors end ???????? What else you run on that PC ?? From what I can see your website is a real risk for the visitors, I will prefer loose $ 10 on a fake stamp ( subject of this tread ) than have to reformat my PC because I catch something on your website.

And the Stampboards group reveals themselves once again.
Nothing constructive said except self righteous nonsense ignoring the problem and attacking the messenger. Typical group that hovers in the stamp forums with nothing better to do like work on your own projects.

You will be the victims...not I for even if they forged everything I owned (which they cannot) I would care less for as I said a hundred times...I do not depend on stamps for a living and probably make more in a month than you do in 6 months in my profession. Judging from the number of posts by some of you...you don't have time to be doing a constructive career because you spend all your time trolling threads.

Ignore, consistently bash and continue with your ignorant charades against me for it does not matter and soon you will find out that what I am saying is truth and only truth because others are already moving against the flood via other sources other than forums which they too detest because of people like you who would rather fight than do anything constructive about the problem.

Probably some of you are the buyers themselves and are now sitting on what you thought was a good investment for resale...only to find that soon should you try to sell them....will be exposed for being:

1.)unknowledgeable in what you buy thus undependable as a trusted seller

2.)Stopped from selling them and possibly your accounts closed.

3.)possibly exposed for associating with criminals

Therefore as in the stampboards forum I choose...which is my right...to ignore your statements that have nothing to do with the subject of the thread.

And as usual the subject that I present is blowing away the majority of your threads in views so I know it is of great interest to many. You few who consistently badger the thread exactly like on stampboards which has occurred to hundreds of people who choose not to be a member because of your childish antics are in general....what make forums stink.

Intelligent people already know all your little tricks like using multiple user names and everything else. Your "leader" thinks he is so smart with his little "banned for life" routine when IP addresses can be changed in an instance and a new user created in seconds. Perhaps I am still there...lurking in the background....oooooooo......

At least the owner of this forum has enough guts to stand up for what is right and if I was him I would start looking at you in possibly a different light and maybe ban your a;& for life with the junk you are posting on this thread.

And as for "formatting your PC" because you caught a virus or something shows you have no knowledge about computers....at all!

Agree with Jenny completely. A topic based entirely on a personal agenda regarding very low altitude stamps having nothing to do with philately is .... well.... a snore. Won't be back.

kind of like your avatar shows aye shermae?

good night, no more time for this forum thing...
Will look at this silliness tomorrow night for a minute.

Just to make sure you have something to look at:

Shodan

The Messianic, the apocalyptic, the paranoid, all suggested by your last long post ... none of these is likely to go down well with most readers, on this or any other mainstream forum.

Typical dribble. Sorry to those who have to wade through it to see the reality of what is happening. Same thing happened on the other place. Please ignore the childish ones if you are serious about stopping forgeries that harm our hobby...
Here is British Virgin Islands 60th Birthday of Queen Elizabeth Fake inverts. Beware. Were being sold for around $30.00 a set. We stopped many from being sold as the lots have been taken down voluntarily by some dealers. Sadly those dealers were taken...


The normal straight-up issue has been forged also as is the souvenir sheet as an imperforate. Easy to tell...the background color (blue) is much darker than the originals. Inverts of this issue never existed...until now. But then the previous comedians wouldn't even know that because it is way beyond their relm of study and or understanding.

Why is the queen standing on her head

Perhaps essaying a tricky shot in Wonderland croquet.

All right enough is enough, these are interesting modern fakes and have a place in anyone who collects fakes and forgeries . Since I am such a nice guy with experience in establishing a price for Gold ,Silver ,Corn and Soybean over 25,000 times in the pass , for over 20 years . Let me establish a worldwide price for these stamps .THIS IS A SERIOUS ESTABLISHMENT OF PRICE . I offer to buy them at .25 cents each .

Except they have been sold to others for the amount stated.
Here is another.

St. Lucia 1985 Military Aircraft. Scott 762-5
Here is the set inverted.



And here is the set as normal.



Both sets fake. The normal set is being sold by numerous sellers. The inverts still available by one or two sellers. Most shut them down but are still selling the normal fakes.

Jenny...yes why? Never recorded as an error until now (made for collector by Format or not). Indeed an insult to her 60th birthday.

floortrader....offer all you like. The point is some have already sold to "victims" and there are thousands still out there. Possibly being moved in other countries like who knows. Asia, Russia, Poland...who knows anywhere that has not got the word yet. The sellers will not accept your offer as long as there are others buying them.

The normal issue of the St. Lucia set imaged I just purchased from a dealer in the UK for $6.00+. Other big dealers on ebay and everywhere are selling them. Some know...some do not. I can afford to lose the money because it is for the project. I will never resell them, in the end..I will mark on them that they are forgeries.

I will create a page comparing them at some point.
my point on these is... the number of countries and topics....grows.

I guess the only way to get across to some of you the scope of it is when the country or topic you collect gets targeted if it is not already. Some of you, yes only collect up to 1945 and such. But again.....many of you collect modern issues. Tons of you are topical collectors.

So you want that elusive Olympic set...or space set. Oh wow...all of a sudden there it is being sold for far less and you jump on it. Never knowing they are fakes until it is too late. Thinking for years maybe that you have this great set in your collection only to someday find out you were ripped-off and then remembering...hey there was this crazy guy once who was talking about them but I preferred to jeer and ignore him because he studies things I disagree with and I don't like his website, and I don't like, and I don't like.....

Well...it is not my loss.....it will be yours and your friends and your relatives.

How interesting that you actually flog these stickers as postage stamps!

Tell me...what country(s) do not have planned and unissued stamps for it.
are they then to be considered "stickers" also?

Virtually every country in the world has them and they are highly prized by many collectors.

So I ask...what is the difference. does the country you collect have some special priority simply because
1.)The printer was not Format but Fournier or Cartor or....?
2.) The country you collect is special privileged to make mistakes or reject an issue making it a more valuable "sticker" because you condone it?

Come on. The $4 elvis stamp was simply produced but never issued. Found in the archive and purchased by Bileski. So now you want to cut down
1.)One who was one of the biggest dealers in Canada.
2.) One who was considered one of the greatest Philatelists in the world namely Robson Lowe.

You really have to think about what you are saying.

And it has nothing to do with the forgeries. Again...you,you,you. How about the subject of the thread.
sure doing a lot of looking at what I sell.

Do you see any of the issues that are forged that I sell?
I can see you are really trying to find some.
Oh that's right...I do have all of the St. Lucia butterflies color proof panes that still exist.
Here's a picture of the fake inverts that a bunch are buying.


Sorry, I don't have them. You'll have to get them from some other seller. Or you could buy the normal or imperfs but...you might get the fakes so better really look....

Uh-oh another set just went down effecting Butterfly collectors, St. Lucia collectors, error collectors, worldwide collectors and the dreaded LOTW collectors that errr....don't exist.

Where are you people getting off?
