Francobolli stampati in quantità eccessive.

Secondo un articolo del Philatelic Webmaster Organization, alcune aziende che stampano francobolli per conto di paesi poveri (soprattutto in Africa) sono mirati al collezionismo.

I francobolli sono apparentemente approvati dalle locali amministrazioni postali, ma sono stampati in enormi quantità (rispetto alle esigenze locali del paese), e vendute soprattutto per i collezionisti.
L'articolo cita in particolare la Società Svizzera di stampa "Impressor SA".

 

Stamps printed in excesssive amount.

According to the article of the Philatelic Webmaster Organization, some printing companies have made deals with poor countries (mostly in Africa) to print stamps that are mostly targeted to the stamp collecting market.

The stamps are apparently endorsed by the local postal administrations, but are printed in huge quantities (compared to the local needs of the country), and sold mostly to collectors.

The article in particular cites the Swiss printing company "Impressor SA".
