How to spot forged stamps...


Last month the world’s most expensive stamp, the famous Treskilling Yellow, sold for millions at auction. Naturally, for such a well known item, it was accompanied by various certificates of authenticity. But what about the stamps we less-wealthy collectors purchase? How can you ensure they are the real deal?

It's just one of many practical guides to collecting in the latest issue.
