Hi , Sorry about any confusion. No they are not on any thread on
ebay. I am a new collector and especially in Foreign stamps. I just did not know about replicas in the field. I heard something about reprints but never in much detail so that's why I mentioned that I believe they might in fact be genuine. I have understood now all about the dot on Tao's collar or "lines-dots" on the flag and the vibrancy of color . Thank you Rob Roy and perf12 for your help !
