Welcome to Stamp Scandal.com

Have your cake
and eat it too!

Herzig turns to comedy...because he must be joking!

It seems that Mr. Herzig of Herrick Stamp Company and Kent Research has a fine sense of humour. He has hit on a business idea which will appeal to everyone who likes to laugh.

All you have to do is order large quantities of stamps from a reputable dealer, hold onto them for as long as you want to, sell what you can then write to the dealer and say you didn't order them after all.

You then say the dealer can have whatever is left returned to him as long as he pays the carriage costs. If he doesn't pay then Mr. Herzig gets to keep all the stamps.

Voila, Mr. Herzig has had his cake and eaten it too.

The company that has suffered the comic antics of Mr. Herzig has official orders for all the stamps detailed in the correspondence and the stamps were not supplied on a sale or return basis.

We encourage all customers of the Herrick Stamp Company and Kent Research to follow Mr. Herzig's example.

Order large quantities of stamps from his company but make sure you don't pay for them. Hold onto them for 3 or 4 years then write and tell him you don't like them anymore but will send them back to him if he pays you a large sum of money. How much is up to you. We're sure that Mr. Herzig will find it hilarious.

More comedy

Our source has also offered us another fine example of Mr. Herzig's highly developed sense of humour.

Our source was in hospital. He was suffering from a thrombosis and was surprised to receive a visit from an employee of whacky William. You might think the visit would be a gesture of sympathy for his plight...but no, it wasn't.

The sensitive Mr. Herzig had sent his employee to demand supplies of stamps as the man lay on a hospital bed fearful for his life. He continued to pester our source for some time until it became apparent that he was not going to get what he wanted and might actually cause the untimely end of our source if he continued.

What a warm human being Mr. Herzig is!

Chad fakes

As well as liking a joke, Mr. Herzig also likes to sell fake stamps through his company, Kent Research.

Even though in his letter to our source he deplores the fact that his stamps are not catalogued, he is perfectly willing to sell these fakes and others of Ivory Coast, Benin , Mauretania etc., without a second thought... and at face value!

Yet again we ask, what does the International Federation of Stamp Dealers' Associations (IFSDA) think about this? They seem utterly unconcerned that one of their members, the ASDA, is harbouring a dealer like Herrick?

Why don't the President and the Vice-President of IFSDA, Mr. Lars Boes (Denmark) and Mr. Sam Malamud (USA), and the President of ASDA, Mrs Elizabeth Pope resign and leave the job to people who are serious about it, if they're not capable of controlling the activities of their members...

...or do they enjoy Mr. Herzig's jokes?
