MALI ILLEGAL STAMPS
2018
Information and Reference of illegal stamps for Mali
A new U.P.U. circular for Mali has been presented on the U.P.U. website in 2019 that denounces all stamps
and souvenir sheets that are on the market dating 2015 through 2019.
I stated this would happen when I
created this page in February of 2019. Here is a copy of circular 147.
UPU Circular Number 147
It verifies the following images are of illegal stamps produced for Mali. Please remember that the producers of these counterfeit illegal stamps 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 Mali visit the UPU WNS website and look at the Mali section.
The Universal Postal Union WNS website
I have found the Colnect online catalog to be very helpful to verify legal stamp issues.
The Colnect Online Catalog for Mali
Check out their Illegal Stamp section as well. It is upgraded as of 2023 and shows counterfeits that may be missing here.
The Colnect Online Catalog for Mali Illegal Stamps
I have found the Stampworld.com Catalog to be very helpful as well although again there are "conflicts" between what is listed there and what is on the WNS system.

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.
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 (2019) 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.
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.
2018
In 2018 the production of counterfeit illegal stamps in the name of Mali continues unhindered. In 2018 the British producer (or should I say his son)
ramps up another massive production of counterfeit illegal stamps in the name of Mali. They are the same styles as many early counterfeits produced
by the father. Very different from the globalphila style as you can see. So we have three producers competing now.
In 2018 Mali did not issue any new stamps. This is verified by no stamps being listed on the WNS system, Colnect Catalog, Stampworld.com site
and every major catalog.
It is therefore a fact that any stamp dating 2018 in the name of Mali is a counterfeit illegal stamp!
Following are images of the illegal stamps I have found offered for Mali dating 2018. 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!
I present them in alphabetical order of titles as there is no logical order for illegal stamps.

These are the globalphila dispersed counterfeit illegal stamps. Found a number of "sets" recently (2020) and have added them.

2018 Albert Einstein Souvenir Sheet of 4 with no Date
Since these appeared in 2018 they are placed accordingly. These fake stamps without a year date are the latest
scourge to plague our market. Seller called spectre-stamps on Delcampe appears to be connected directly with the producer
of these no date stamps. We have made a "spectre" out of this seller by getting rid of him on eBay and Delcampe! I have seen nothing
sold by this seller that is worth anything. Message for this guy is try to come back as a different user and we will get you again and again!
