Maryland forgeries

The so-called Maryland forgeries first appeared around 2002, sold on eBay as forgeries. They are high quality lithographs of scarce to rare worldwide stamps including errors. They are on modern bright white paper and are marked "forgery" on the back.

Lithographs of engraved stamps should not fool collectors. Still, these have proven to be popular for people willing to spend $5 to $25 for a forgery instead of genuine stamps.
