UPU150 stamp from Guinea Bissau has been printed in sheetlets of 8 stamps each, with a beautiful printed border in matching design.
Some collectors believe that the UPU150 stamps from these 8 African nations including Burundi, Central African Republic, Djibouti, Guinea Bissau, Togo, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea Republic have been printed by a company in Europe and have been printed only to rip off the pockets of the collectors and these do not have any philatelic value?
