NEXT CLUB MEETING
August 7th
"The Doctoring of postage stamps -- Philatelists Beware!" As soon as there were postage stamps, there were forgeries, meant to defraud both postal authorities and philatelists. Doctoring of stamps, on the other hand is aimed solely at the philatelist, and is usually done to hide flaws and repairs on premium stamps or to produce fake varieties. Unfortunately, it is difficult to recognize such doctoring. This program covers some of the methods used to alter stamps, especially the removal or changing of colors, and is useful for advanced collectors who have an interest in stamp varieties and expertizing.
Note: program is based on South African stamps.
