I am learning and am no expert, but this seller, which I have bought from before, is selling this...

Looks as if a second grader took a dull scissors and modified a Scott #428. Your thoughts?

This is a "buyer be very ware seller." Use the above "search" function and do some research on this "bad boy" seller. Also read carefully the sellers conditions of their stamps. Caveat emptor. You also need to check carefully any previous purchases.

Faker than fake. Double-check any previous purchases.

As per this seller, there is a link in this forum where a buyer had certified 19 purchases and 18 came back as fake/altered.

It is not enough to do discovery on a stamp or cover when buying, just as much time and effort needs to be put into discovery on who you are buying from (unfortunately).

What everyone else said plus do not let the ASDA logo influence you. It means nothing as far as trusting a dealer goes.
