I know little about the stamp hobby, but do know there are fakes, forgeries and nefarious restorations. Parallel to the earlier thread about overstamped baseball cards, there have been fake overstamps on stamps. One thing about stamps is they were issued and printed by the government, so it may be easier to figure out what meets standards and what is amiss. There were no Mom & Pop clothiers or obscure tobacco companies issuing their own postage stamps.
