Purely by chance I ended up in the Dutch East Indies today, where in the first years I encountered a number of perforated varieties with remarkable images. They all have a wide colored border, but the stamps depicted are (for each face value) completely identical.
It's all old Collect-A-ROM entries, and I can see why these 'placeholders' were added back then, but isn't it time to delete those scans?!

stripspeldjes what do you mean by clear scans? Just remove the images, or delete the entire item? The latter is difficult; in my small sample, there were a few collectors everywhere.

I mean what I say: remove the images, because they don't show the specific item.

That may encourage collectors and sellers to include a correct scan.

Sorry to butt in here stripspeldjes , but I would also like to submit the FDC without picture of Germany as DOUBLURE. Also everything Collect-A-Rom. I'm not saying it was wrong, but it did start the catalog with it. But some are just too much or with too little information.

Since they have no image, there is no illustration on them. The handbook explicitly states that FDCs are made with 'illustrated' covers.
In other words: invalid items.

That would be too easy Raoul62 . Perhaps the new, improved FDC rules will take us further. If these are there. I think Raoul that these do not interest you, for you any new regulation FDC on LD is no longer useful, is my opinion, is what I think. It's too late, the chances are gone. You're right, and you're wrong.

I follow the manual, you know. As an administrator, I have to closely follow the agreements made. It's so decided, and it's in the handbook (for more than a year).
There is no additional help text that says which conventions in the manual must and must not be followed.

stripspeldjes
Erik has used the same method with Indonesia. There are also a few more. This happened at the start of LastDodo (then still Catawiki). Probably with the aim of getting the catalog as complete as possible as quickly as possible. I marked them in Indonesia with 'wrong image'. Stamps that Erik did not have in collection/shop were put in the catalog in this reduced way. Every time you see such a small image, you know that the wrong image has been placed with the description. Unfortunately, a number of images have been enlarged again, so that it has now become a puzzle and you cannot see at a glance whether it is a duplicated image. It's now: find the 7 differences in 2 identical images.
If you apply the current definitions then I would say the items should be removed. According to that definition, you may only add an item if you actually own that item. Apparently Collect-A-Rom did not own the stamps and that problem was 'solved' by adding the wrong image in a wide frame. The fact that the images have never been improved is also something to think about. Are there collectors who do own the stamp and does the stamp exist at all?
But I can also imagine that the possession rule was not relevant/applicable in the beginning. The description was originally generally fine. So just replacing the image is definitely an option.
A revision of the complete edition (to which all reprints belong) seems to me very necessary.

They may be blanked if the image is incorrect. This has happened before in other areas. I mean remove the image.
