| Abstract: | A most interesting cover addressed to Malta by a Maltese in India was offered on Ebay at the closing of the year 2010, which at first raised more questions than answers. The cover showed the well known blue/white Egyptian resealing label, but this time with a red overprint OPENED BUT UNCENSORED, and was offered at an asking price of $245 and remained unsold. This type of re-sealing label had never been reported (Little 2000) before so most collectors likely believed it concerned a forgery in which the red overprint was added later on. [excerpt] |
