Naavland

Naavland. Just where is that? Well, it's nowhere, actually. Not that it's lost like Shangri La or something. There is no such place even though Wikipedia thinks you mistyped Nagaland. It's completely made up. Fake. Bogus. A fantasy. Legend has it that some European color printer was under the gun to produce stamps with a interesting name on them. Unfortunately, all the good names were already taken and the best that he/she could come up with was "Naavland". And so it came to pass that a bunch of bogus topical stamps in sheetlets and souvenir sheets had been created beginning about 2009. If you thought that the stamps read "Navy Land" and bought them for that topic/theme, you need to schedule an appointment with an optometrist right away.

These may or may not be considered cinderellas based on your personal definition, but they are intended to take a fair amount of your cash in exchange for a printed piece of paper. The question always comes up: will you go to Hell if you buy their stamps? Maybe. But if you think you're headed there anyway, so knock yourself out. Otherwise, may we suggest collecting magazine and newspaper clippings if you need to collect images of your favorite stars or topic?
