I have found the Colnect online catalog to be very helpful.

The Colnect Online Catalog for Ivory Coast

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

All imaged illegals are in the order listed in UPU Circular 63 page 6 through 9.

Many of the following illegal stamps can be found as imperforates and as color proof sets as well.
Most times now (2016) 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.

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.
