It is obviously a mock-up as RM never (well, 99% of the time) actually shows REAL stamps (just look at the Philatelic Bulletin!) Their image on eBay of the Smilers mini sheet shows the stamps with no ellipses and with the incorrect details (barcode, stock code and the DLR FSC Code when the sheet was printed by Cartor!). Likewise their 'publicity' image of the forthcoming Prestige book Machin pane shows the 81p stamp in the 'correct' colour and the codes on the 1p and 2p stamps are not only MA12 (as on Alice) but also MRIL, suggesting these stamps come from coils.Robertnoreply@blogger.com
