Tanzania Illegal Postage Stamp Issue

Tanzania · 1900 ·

This listing refers to illegal stamp issues produced under the name of Tanzania. These are labels that were not authorized by the official postal administration of Tanzania and were never valid for postage. They are often created by private entities to deceive collectors and are considered philatelic forgeries or cinderellas.

Illegal stamp issues became a significant problem in philately, particularly from the late 20th century, with many targeting popular thematic collecting areas to exploit the market.
