Huh?
The album prints are facsimiles; all others are forgeries.
For being on a platform, the internet, that also says that orgone pucks destroy reptilians and demons, sources would be useful rather than a barebones blog post. If you like easy and wrong answers spoonfed to you, you got it here.
There is confusing and confused information posted. IJPO refers to Japanese post offices abroad. Certainly it has no meaning then for mint stamps. I assume that the author means genuine postal issues.
Very blurry images of the Torres forgeries imply that actual items were not used for study. You can decide if that is a trustworthy method. I think that in the majority of cases, no. Proof of a Torres forgery is a complete failure if you actually compare the genuine stamp posted with its supposed forgery and printing plate image.
The author implies that Maeda litho forgeries were actually created by Torres. floortrader has already shown and proven that there were identifiable plate varieties of litho forgeries.
https://goscf.com/t/78934& The author implies Maeda forgeries are the same as sold by Spiro Bros. Since the latter are sometimes known in full sheets, then the plate varieties should be identifiable. The author shows a 10 sen Spiro sheet but does not correlate the Torres forgeries shown with any position there. Instead, he correlates an alleged forgery with a single printing plate image, which doesn't match. Plus, why would the Spiros and Maeda print their own style of cancels on the supposedly common forgeries instead of just having whoever printed the forgeries add "cancels" at the same time?
Look carefully. No printing plate image matches ANY alleged Torres forgery.With the covers shown, the author says that that Torres forgeries were postal forgeries.
Jul 02, 2020 post: In any case, heavily distorted blowup images from the 10 sen pair cover are not at all convincing and do not constitute proof.
Again, in the Torres NC post (05-20-2021), we are shown a blurry alleged Torres forgery that is far closer overall if not the same as to the genuine than the printing plate image. A thin frame on one stamp does not convince; this could easily be an artifact from printing of the genuine. Plus the Torres printing plate shows a THICKER frameline than the printed genuine.
This is really bad research.
