A Detailed Study of the B.N.A. Forgeries of Jean de Sperati

No matter how well you know the genuine issues of Vancouver Island and Newfoundland, the Sperati forgeries are very capable of deceiving you. These superbly crafted forgeries even slip by the world’s top dealers, auctioneers and expert committees. To protect yourself from either buying or selling such forgeries as genuine, it is strongly suggested that effective references be used. Release 1 is the most comprehensive reference available. It is unique in its use of large size photos to compare the characteristics of the forgeries with the genuine stamps, as well as a clear text description. All the B.N.A. Sperati forgeries are included as well as suburb images of the genuine issues they represent, many of which were taken from the outstanding William H. Gross collection.
