The culprit,

It was a typo,

wonder who reported the original thread,

David B.

Looks like it was done with a ball point pen

All know the way, but few follow it.

The starting price has been changed,

it's upped to $900,

It's now at $1,050

TO :  dazed and  confused  philatelist    ---------1]   Its  not a major  stamp auction firm ,its a  stamp  firm ......2]  It  never claims  BPA  cert. in the website auction  or the printed  catalog.......3]   It   sold for  $1,000    ,were did you get  $1050    and  $1100.00    ...........

I made a mistake when I orginally said BPA, it should have been Brandon,

CharlieTuna,

It is strange that it showed a current price of $1150 last week, possibly the top bidder cancelled his bid or it may have been above total limits and the auctioneer had to cancel a bid,

David,  As you say it matters not.  It's just that Paulie made the statement it sold for 1k..  He also provided a link and I happened to look and saw the difference.  I without a doubt believe you when you say it's a fake.  I would hope the buyer will ask for a cert on the stamp but who knows.

we got more dazed and confused people here ------no wonder the philatelic community left this chatroom ---------

First ---"He also provided a link"------NO !!!! I did not  .

Second -----when you buy this  stamp at auction ,you get the Brandon  certificate ,what he is trying to say is that since it is a old cetificate ,the new owner needs to ask for a Expertization Extensions  to get it re-certification.Better from the  Royal  or BPA  for a new certificate  than sending it back to the same firm ,but thats done only on the approval of the auction house .
