Issue Notice:
ATTENTION:
- For the complete issue, Souvenir Sheet and set stamps, the printer printed a significantly higher quantity instead of the 20,000 set stamps and 1,000 Souvenir Sheet each ordered by Laos Post (The Laos Post estimates the unauthorized quantity at at least 50,000 pieces and 10,000 Souvenir Sheet).
- The stamps that were printed too much were then put on the market in large quantities, starting in 2018. Mostly to and from dealers in China and Europe.
- Unfortunately, the unauthorized stamps cannot be distinguished from the official ones.
- The only distinguishing feature are the sometimes unrealistically low sales prices on the Internet. Some of these are up to 80% below the nominal value.
- With an official total quantity of the souvenir Sheet of 2,000 pieces, each perforated and imperforated, it is surprising that on several large sales platforms, in 2018 alone, more than 4,000 perforated souvenir Sheet (individually and in packages of 10/20/50 and 100) and almost 3,000 imperforated Souvenir Sheet ( individually and in packs of 10/20/50 and 100) were offered and sold at "junk prices".
- Our offered issues are ALL!! directly from the Lao Post Office in Vientiane, and are therefore taken from the official print. We guarantee that!
