DJIBOUTI ILLEGAL STAMPS
2011

Information and Reference of Illegal Stamps for Djibouti Created in 2011

The following images are of illegal stamps produced for Djibouti. Please remember that the producers of these illegals are not only greedy, they are crude and sometimes disgusting which is the nature of these people.

Djibouti stopped reporting their official stamp issues to the WNS system in 2009. The reason why is unknown. Possibly because they were seeing that it was having no effect against the onslaught of illegal stamps being produced in their countries name. Whatever the reasons were, from 2009 onward the WNS system has no reference to follow. I have found the Colnect online catalog to be helpful.

Check out their Illegal Stamp section as well. It is far from complete but will help you verify many as well.

I have found the Stampworld.com Catalog to be helpful as well.

Or use a respectable catalog like Scott or Stanley Gibbons. Do not listen to these dealers trying to convince you they are something other than illegal stamps.

In 2004 when Djibouti produced circular 226 they did not know that there were more illegal stamps that were being circulated than what they listed. This has occurred for many of the victim countries. To correct it I have researched them all using the major catalog listings and the WNS system as reference to what was officially issued.

Here we go!

Many of the following illegal stamps can be found as imperforates and as color proof sets as well. Some exist on fake First Day Covers too.
Most times now (2018) the souvenir sheet sets and sheetlet sets are sold individually. Many times the stamps have been removed from the sheetlets and souvenir sheets. All of these "tactics" are used to avoid detection by UPU circular descriptions and search terms.

Sellers that call these "private", "locals", "Cinderella's", "unauthorized" are deceiving you. They are illegal stamps produced by a stamp dealer that is bent on ripping you off! Some sellers state "we offer them because they are on the market". Well how about you use a different dealer because that seller is "on the market"? If the stamp societies, auction sites and all other venues kicked these sellers off of their sites then they would have to comply or lose their ability to sell anything.

The following images are free for the use of all to use to alert the public to them. If anyone wants to make a public list of users on eBay, Delcampe and elsewhere who are selling these issues....fine by me since the UPU, PWMO and others appear to have given up or have not been updated in years.

If you have purchased any of these stamps from a dealer or if that dealer offers them, you should avoid that dealer! You will only be supporting illegal stamp makers who are only ripping you off.

2011

In 2011 Djibouti did not officially issue any stamps.

Following are images of the illegal stamps I have found offered for Djibouti dating 2011. There may and probably are more. All of these I found in searches on eBay and Delcampe and all are illegal stamps made by producers bent on ripping you off!

In 2011 the illegal stamp producers continued to abuse Djibouti with illegal stamp issues. Larger and more sophisticated sets continued to be introduced. Today (2018) the quantity of lots on eBay and Delcampe continue to run at about the same numbers as for the 2010 illegal stamp issues. The eradication of these bogus stamp sales is going to greatly effect the illegal stamp dealers and producers profits from the Djibouti illegal stamp sales severely!

I present them in alphabetical order of titles as there is no logical order for illegal stamps.
Note the similar styles of some topics throughout this page. Illegal stamp makers are very lazy using the same style and simply changing the topic.

2011 African Animals in Sheetlet of 6

Our "competitor" from the previous year continues to produce more during 2011.

2011 Animals in Sheetlets of 6

In retaliation of the new "competitor" it appears the original illegal stamp producers decided to create an even larger array of illegal stamps on the subject of "animals". The illegal stamp producers are ruthless in their intent to rip you off as well as they are ruthless against each other. They hate each other as well as you can see....they hate you the collector. Do you really want to support these people by buying stamps from dealers who support them??

Either the illegal stamp producers were too stupid to notice the error or too cheap to destroy them and correct it. I think it to be the latter. Just like the seller that can see the lower sheetlet is creased at the top but is too cheap to mention it and continues to try to "off" it on a collector rather than trash it which is what it is in the first place.
