Default MSNBC article about stamp collector group exposing fraud on ebay

Posted By: scott brockelman

As Barry stated, these types of alterations have been going on for nearly 100 years and are fairly easy. Also they are fairly easy to detect, some visually, but nearly all of these repairs will show in watermark fluid, save for the addition of a cancellation. I was hoping to see something a bit more modern that may have related a bit more to our arena. The buyer of the stamps "detocakes9" was a very high profile buyer for many years on ebay.
