Nice talk. Would have been better if we could hear the comments and questions. Should have kept comments to the end and provided a mic for questioners and commenters

Reverting back to gravure issues sounds like part of the solution. More expensive to produce but a fraction of the loss from fraud. And probably better looking stamps.

As long as Ebay and Etsy fail to do anything to stop this...

Why has there been so little publicity? Running counter ads on Facebook or even posters in the post office might reduce sales of counterfeits
