I somewhat agree with you and somewhat don't. So far the 1 E94 fake overprint has been caught and now the fake Old Mill back stamp has been caught. If they are so easy, as a few people think, why are they getting caught? All that being said we are certainly seeing more people trying to fake them. I am not sure it's a lot different than all of the pre-war "mint" cards we see now as opposed to how many, I am told, there used to be. I am more concerned about high grade trims than I am fake overprints....but I have an insiders view of the overprints. Also, I believe there are at least 3 of the Blue background Old Put cards.....I have seen mine, one other, and someone on the board says they have either seen another or own one. Maybe the longer time goes by the more "provenance" will play a part in the overprints. I know that many E94 overprints have been found in original collections when there was 0 motive to fake them.... regards
