Crazy isn't it. It’s amazing how clever some of these fakes can be. Having a keen eye and a bit of knowledge really makes a difference when spotting these ‘Frankenstein’ covers. Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching. Explore, Discover, Enjoy!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. However, as a new philatelist interested in obscure military covers, this video is sobering...and a little discouraging. If Mr. Grabowski can get snookered, what chance do I have? It has me casting a sideways glance at my collection. :( Thanks again for taking time to educate; it's greatly appreciated!
I understand how this might feel a bit discouraging, especially as a new philatelist. The truth is, even the best of us get fooled sometimes - it's part of the learning journey in this hobby. Mr. Grabowski’s experience is a great reminder that it’s okay to make mistakes; it’s how we grow as collectors. Keep exploring, learning, and trusting your instincts - you're already on the right path!
Wow, how sneaky and devious! One needs a lot of knowledge to uncover fraud like this. Thanks for the interesting video!

Collect what makes you happy and never spend what make you uncomfortable.
Take a chance on a dollar box and be happy all day long ;)
@@piratephilately Good advice! :)
