FAKE POSTA SHEET 1930
This item is posted here to advise buyers to be sure they know what they are buying. This sheet was sold on a well known stamp website with no mention of it being a fake, facsimile or a reprint. In addition the seller only posted an image of the front side of the sheet, not the reverse. It doesn't take more than a few seconds looking at the front to realise that this isn't the genuine article.The red flags are:
1. Low price compared to the genuine article being sold by other sellers.
2. Lack of image for the reverse of the sheet. My image shows there is no water mark on the stamps. My advise - if the seller doesn't post an image of the reverse of the sheet don't buy it!.
