Philatelic Series CD 22

Phantom Philately
A Comprehensive A-Z of cinderella, bogus & fantasy issues. Identify stamps that deceive & confuse collectors.

F. J. Melville, 1923, 204 pages

Philatelic 'phantasies' - 'stamps' that are not what they seem - appeared in the infancy of the hobby and have plagued and intrigued successive generations of collectors. These 'stamps', some designed to defraud the unwary, and others which merely confuse even the seasoned collector, form an interesting collecting sideline of their own. This classic book remains the bible of 'Phantom Philately' enthusiasts to this day and is still in great demand. Please see the list of countries etc. (some bogus) covered below.

For collectors interested in stamp forgeries we sell Earee's 'Album Weeds' 2nd & 3rd editions. We also stock Hinton's 'Stamps That Puzzle Collectors' to aid collectors in the identification of stamps whose country of origin is not immediately obvious, and are therefore hard to find in the catalogue.

FULLY TEXT SEARCHABLE version for your computer full of useful photos to aid identification.
