Rowland Hills were very prominent including a large number of various missing colours from the minisheet right from 1 colour missing to a missing all colours perferated.

If they were put on the market by an employee they were effectively stolen. The dealer has no right to sell them and they have been taken off the web-site. Hopefully the dealer has refunded any customers, since as "stolen" goods the stamps are liable to seizure without recompenseMarathon Society of Olympic Collectorsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-11114362976046866772014-02-17T08:51:03.680+00:002014-02-17T08:51:03.680+00:00These are obviously selling as the price on the Br...These are obviously selling as the price on the Brandon website has now increased to £525Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-19035684013660065532014-02-12T09:57:28.545+00:002014-02-12T09:57:28.545+00:00It should be easy for Royal Mail to confirm the ve...It should be easy for Royal Mail to confirm the veracity of the issue. Did they (RM) have the appropriate permissions to use the copyrighted image or not. If not then the veracity of the stamp is called into question.<br /><br />If you know your solvents, it is very easy to remove the printing from modern stamp, even the security overprint on the machins. Anyone with a basic graphics program could if they were so minded print anything they wished in the area previously containing an image. These actions would fall foul of the Fraud Act 2006 & the Proceeds of Crime Act2002, plus any civil action the copyright holder deems appropriate.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-89127769245350903762014-02-11T22:17:04.435+00:002014-02-11T22:17:04.435+00:00Completely agree.

Either way the stamps are now being sold and will get entered in the catalogues making them a modern day rarity that will quickly climb in value. Grahamhttp://www.gbstamp.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
