Forgeries flood eBay marketplace

February 3, 2012 By Audrius Brazdeikis

Update 2/3/2012
“filatelia_de_la_habana” changed his ebay id to “filateliadelahabana-punto-com” and continues selling his remaining fake Lithuania covers.

Update 9/2/2011
“filatelia_habana” changed his ebay id to “filatelia_de_la_habana” and continues selling fake covers.

Update 8/5/2011
“filatelia_habana” continues selling fake covers.

Update 7/5/2011
Vitaly Geyfman confirms that ALL 1941 occupation covers are fakes too.

Update 7/4/2011
Tobias Huylmans (BPP expert) just informed us that ALL but one Memel covers are fakes too.

I just wanted to post an advisory warning about the recent explosion of fakes and forgeries of classic Lithuania covers appearing daily on eBay. A large number of suspicious postal history items (like the one shown below) is currently being offered by eBay seller “filatelia_habana”.

We urge collectors of postal history extreme caution when purchasing from this seller. We work hard at identifying these fakes and forgeries and posting to our online “fakes are forgeries” database found here.
