🇫🇯 🇸🇧 In its latest new products update the notorious New York-based agency, IGPC, has included a miniature sheet containing 6 identical stamps featuring Dorje Chang Buddha III, who has appeared already on a large number of stamps from postal services whose stamp production is usually in the hands of that philatelic agency, with the name of Fiji printed on the item. This is distressing as Fiji has a long history of excellent high quality stamps issued as part of a conservative new issue programme and the last thing it needs is for IGPC to ruin its philatelic image and to shame the country. This vile item is said to have been issued on 26 January 2021. Rating:- 0.
Equally distressing is the appearance on the list of products of a miniature sheet inscribed Solomon Islands said to have been issued on 19 January 2021 also to commemorate Dorje Chang Buddha III. There is no accompanying illustration but I assume that the issue also takes the form of a miniature sheet containing several identical stamps like the Fiji product. This is very disappointing because the postal service of Solomon Islands seemed to have reformed itself as regards new stamp issues after it severed its link with the appalling Stamperija agency which had hijacked its stamp issuing programme for several unhappy years.
