I'm just posting this again to see if anyone can help me. There is an example of this stamp on E-Bay for a very reasonable price but I hesitate to bid. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to tell if the overprint is real or fake. Is this a stamp where a certificate is a must? If so the price goes through the roof!!
"From my reading of the information in the Walsh Specialized catalog it appears to lack one of the attributes of a genuine example, "The L of BALBO is slightly above the A". In this case the A and L appear to be at the same height. This difference is supported by images on The Philatelic Foundation's certificate search site."
I grabbed this off another stamp site (Stamp Community) and wonder if anyone knows whether or not this is true. Am I allowed to use this quote? If not please let me know and I will delete the post!

This link goes to an online article that covers the Balboa overprint. I wonder how many of our early Newfoundland stamps are fakes!!

" ... Am I allowed to use this quote? ..."
This comes up often and is easy to find.
If you were to type the question into the Google section of your browser you would get, in return, the following, for the USA, and I am quite sure it is very similar in Canada:
" .... How much of someone else's work can I use without getting permission?
Under the fair use doctrine of the U.S. copyright statute, it is permissible to use limited portions of a work including quotes, for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, and scholarly reports. There are no legal rules permitting the use of a specific number of words, a certain number of musical notes, or percentage of a work.
Whether a particular use qualifies as fair use depends on all the circumstances. ....."
US Copyright Office, circular #21
Always, at the least, use quotation marks to start and end the quote, Identify the author if known or source.
The string of "....." is used to show tat the quote is from a larger stastement or article.
That is not just good grammar, it is courteous.

The only "affordable" Newfoundland airmail I "need" is C18 - the Balboa overprint. I was checking it out on E-Bay and saw several listed as forgeries that look very much like the real thing. Is there a fairly simple way to tell or is this another case where authentication is needed? It really makes me wonder how many fakes are in our collections. In some areas, for example early Poland, I don't worry about it since most are fake anyway. Now I wonder about my early Newfoundland stuff!!

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
