GABON ILLEGAL STAMPS
2020

Information and Reference of Counterfeit Illegal Stamps for Gabon that date 2020

Online research shows that the first counterfeit illegal stamps in the name of Gabon (Republique Gabonaise) were produced in 2006. Although Gabon is a member of the Universal Postal Union, up to this time (February 2020) they have never formally posted a UPU circular denouncing any of them. We are working toward having this done soon.

The following images are of counterfeit illegal stamps produced in the name of Gabon dating 2020. Please remember that the producers of these 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 Gabon visit the UPU WNS website and look at the Gabon section.

The Universal Postal Union WNS website

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

The Colnect Online Catalog for Gabon

Check out their Illegal Stamp section as well. There are many listed there including many new ones not listed on my site.

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.

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

Here we go!

All of the following illegal stamps can be found as imperforates. Many are found as color proofs and many fake First Day Covers have been produced as well.
Many times now (2020) the souvenir sheet sets are separated and are sold individually. Many times the stamps have been removed from the souvenir sheets. All of these "tactics" are used to avoid detection by UPU circular descriptions and/or experts like myself.

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.

2020

As of March 2020 no stamps have been registered on the WNS system for 2020 stamp issues. Nothing online referencing any new issues.

As of this month only the Russian producer Topnimarka.com is producing new 2020 counterfeit illegal stamps in the name of Gabon. Will globalphila continue along with their crooked distributors? We will be watching. As of this month no stamps real nor counterfeit are being offered in the online venues. Should this change I will update this page accordingly.

As of March 2020 it is understood that any stamp dating or claimed to be dated 2020 in the name of Gabon is a Counterfeit Illegal Stamp!

The main users on eBay selling counterfeit illegal stamps dating 2019 in the name of Gabon in the search for "Gabon 2019" as of February 2020 are:

Here is what I found.

The producer is offering these new counterfeits on their website. Noting the new "style" similar to some Stamperija issues.
Also noting the criminal dealer produced another Butterflies in Germany set dating 2019 with this "new style" this month (March 2020).

2020 Space Astronomers Souvenir Sheet of 4

Here we have more space related topics made by the Russian producer as a continuation of their 2019 counterfeits. Noting again that all of them have no date inscribed on the stamps. This appears to be a new "tactic". No date inscribed allows the producer and any distributors to make false statements on when they appeared thus creating more chaos. Also again, they appear not to have the single stamp souvenir sheets made either. Also....again, the fake denominations have changed from all the previous years of counterfeit production by these criminals.
Dealer "claims" they are 2020 "stamps". Snapshots of the website are retained proving it.

So, the question is....will Gabon and the U.P.U. continue to ignore these criminals or will they begin to take this seriously and stop them permanently? All U.P.U. members should be outraged by this and join forces and shame and remove the leaders and so called "experts" within the U.P.U. for allowing this to go this far.

To be continued? You bet unless proper action is taken to stop these people......
