| PHANTOM STAMPS. |
| When Fred Melville published his book "Phantom Philately", he coined a description for "stamps which are not what they seem". These items always hold a fascination for cinderella collectors. Fraud or Fantasy? Some are a combination of both. Melville's Book will never be "out of date" as it chronicles the old-time frauds, but since his day many thousands of Phantom Stamps have been added to ones he listed. |
