Printed sheets for stamps ?

Anyone have any clue what these are ? Im lost, looks like negatives ? They do not glow under UV. I picked them up at a market in a cardboard tube. All the backs have the same pattern mark.

These are what are known as postwar 'cinderella' issues... i.e. fantasy stamps.

Actual Third Reich marginal markings for monetary values were shown in Reichspfennig (Rpf), not Pfennig (Pf)....Pfennig was the postwar monetary unit.



People do collect these. How do you like this one for a fantasy issue?

Thanks, would you know about when these came out postwar ?

No, but the design style looks like 1970's or later. Keep in mind that they were not issued by the German Post Office or any other government agency, and had no value for postage purposes.

They are pretty neat looking. first time I have ever run across any. The no glow had me confused as to the time frame. They guy I got them from had no idea what they were either. Paid him a whopping $3.00 for all three.
