Forgeries and fakes of US stamps on Ebay areuncommon but possible. Forgeries,reprints, or fakes on Ebay are not uncommon for foreign stamps, especially ofvaluable over prints, cancellations, orfor certain notorious countries (eg. Fiume and Heiligoland). Even “Expert Marks” and “ExpertizingCertificates” can be forged or abused.Forgeries and fakes have not been considered by me unless they areobvious and will be noted if known by me.I believe the often significantprice discounts from catalog value on Ebay reflect this reality. Please be aware of risk and bid accordingly.
