GAMBIA ILLEGAL STAMPS
2014

Information and Reference of illegal stamps for Gambia

The following images are of illegal stamps produced for The Gambia. 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.

To find out what stamps are real and legitimate for the Gambia I have found the Colnect online catalog to be helpful.

The Colnect Online Catalog for The Gambia

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 counterfeit illegal stamps.

You will find the styles and designs of the following illegal stamps completely different.

Here we go!

Sellers that call these "private", "locals", "Cinderella's", "unauthorized" are deceiving you. They are counterfeit 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.

2014

It appears all was quiet in the production of illegal stamps in the name of the Gambia since the fiasco in 2003 by the British producer. In 2015 the Russian based dealers who I believe are also the producers appear. The company is called Topnimarka.com located in Moscow Russia. The user name was kir30kirill on eBay although since November 2019 the user has been kicked off. They have created a new website called stamps-world.eu as well in 2019. Everything they are selling is fake and counterfeit stamps. They are of pure evil and were not listing on eBay by country name to avoid detection and mass producing counterfeit illegal stamps in the name of many countries. The "styles" unique to themselves, these people are producing and selling counterfeit stamps at a massive rate dating to current times. They are even producing fake stamps for countries controlled by Stamperija. Stamperija's owner has stated that he knows who most of the counterfeit producers are and has some control over stopping their productions at least for countries he has contracts with. This is not the case for this producer. Being located in Russia, I guess they believe that nobody can stop them. I am exposing them which is the first step. I will note them all "Russian Made Counterfeit Illegal Stamps" should the British producers fire up again....

I have discovered that this company is producing counterfeit stamps in later years and back dating them.

In 2014 The Gambia was still churning out quite a number of topical issues. I have found both online catalogs mentioned above to be quite accurate. Since 1989 the country has had many topical issues produced. I note that it appears they have become more conservative starting in 2016.

The Russian producer created only a couple sets in the name of Gambia. All are "back dated".
