I have several times ...Thanks for the comment Eric. I have several times reported these covers to Ebay but they have failed to take any action. I guess philately is not their strong point!<br /><br />I have also spoken to Royal Mail who confimed that the postmark was a fake. I think the reason that they have not taken things further is that the covers appear to be produced in Australia.<br /><br />If these are to be sold by companies or individuals then so be it, but let those who are selling them be honest about these covers and not try to sell them as something they are not.<br /><br />Like the idea of Salvation Army Trading Cards very much. Will have to look further at the possibilities of producing a set.<br /><br />Best wishes.<br /><br />DavidDavid Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16228180775781017720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293250201518152067.post-45354693909892044632011-08-01T19:28:06.082+01:002011-08-01T19:28:06.082+01:00I find these covers interesting.. and have downloa...I find these covers interesting.. and have downloaded images of them over the years I have been on eBay.. Not being from England, I had no idea these were fake.. since I am not a collector of stamps, the covers really don't mean anything to me.. but the design is cool, and they had one for not only generals, but also Bands and corps anniversaries.. <br /><br />That being said, there are some options here.. report the seller to eBay for counterfeiting. that will get them banned from eBay.. Then, they could also be reported to the Royal Mail. [These thoughts may have already crossed your mind, and you may have already placed these actions into motion.]<br /><br />contact the seller with another option:<br /><br />I would suggest they come up with "Salvation Army Trading Cards" or something similar with the photos on the front, and historical facts on the back.. [Like baseball cards with the players on the front, and their statistics on the back..]<br /><br />They could be sold in sets.. even trade might stock them.. after all.. it would be a cool way to get kids into learning Army history..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
