KYRGYZSTAN ILLEGAL STAMPS
1999

Information and Reference of illegal stamps for Kyrgyzstan dating 1999

You can view what was stated in the U.P.U. circulars on page one.

To find out what stamps are real and legitimate for Kyrgyzstan you can visit their own postal administration website. On the site they have kindly presented every stamp issue from 1992 to present day. Sadly the site no longer exists as of 2023. But I am happy to let you know you can still view it on the Internet Archives Wayback Machine! When you get there the links to all the issues that were released from 1992-2019 are in the links at the bottom of the page. Here is the Wayback Machine link.

I have found the Colnect online catalog to be very helpful. You will see the illegal stamps differ greatly from genuine issues.

Check out their Illegal Stamp section as well. It is upgraded as of 2023 and shows counterfeits that may be missing here.

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. Catalogs like Michel and Yvert appear to have been influenced by the sellers of illegal stamps getting some listed in their catalogs. Sorry to say but they are betraying the honor and trust of the stamp collecting community by allowing these criminals to influence them.

Here we go!

UPDATED 2020

When I created these pages in 2018, a lot of information has been discovered since then. I found better images for some of the illegal stamps and found more of them as well. Links to the online catalogs for references are added as well as new notes. Hopefully this new information will help even more collectors and dealers to become aware and spread the word on this scourge on our hobby.

Many of the following illegal stamps can be found as imperforates and on fake First Day covers.
Most times now (2018) the souvenir sheet sets and sheetlet sets are sold individually. In some cases the stamps have been removed from the sheetlets and souvenir sheets. All of these "tactics" are used to avoid detection by UPU circular descriptions.

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.

1999

In 1999 the British counterfeit producer massively increased production of counterfeit illegal stamps in the name of Kyrgyzstan. All of the Kyrgyzstan illegal stamps were produced by one criminal and his associates. These counterfeit illegal stamps in the name of Kyrgyzstan are still to this day in 2020 being massively proliferated. We are fighting to change it.

Many of the souvenir sheets these clowns made are really poor designs. Why have stamps that have absolutely no image on them? The only reason they made them like this is to increase profits by selling them as if the face values means something in overall value. They have no value because they are COUNTERFEIT ILLEGAL STAMPS!
