David Gurney has kindly produced an article that will appear in the March 2021 edition of Les Iles Normandes which I am reproducing here. “I am very grateful to Leo Mayr for reporting some more ‘rubbish’ recently appearing on a German language EBAY site as illustrated below. Even the ‘stamps’ used are the well known facsimiles from the 1970s!! Do not waste your hard earned cash on these four ‘constructed’ items unless you wish to have examples, as they are worthless. Interestingly both covers shown below were listed at very nominal prices by a dealer in the Netherlands on a German language EBAY site. The ‘Guernsey’ cover was sold for Euro 1,99, which was the starting price, while the ‘Jersey’ cover remained unsold.“
