Some critics claim that the "150 Years of UPU" 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?
