A trio of Italian semi-postals with 1922-23 "BLP" overprints which were used as fundraisers for invalids from the Great War (but the money came not from a surcharge, but from advertisers who paid for the envelopes that they were originally attached to). One copy of the 60c carmine and two of the 1 lira brown. About a decade ago, these were submitted to the APS expertization committee. They came back with no opinion, but with a note "while one of our committee members identified them as genuine overprints…was unable to provide any backup material to confirm his opinion." Sold "as-is". 2024 Scott US$6300.00 =
