How to identify Carolina City stamps
- Verify against established catalogs: Genuine postal entities are listed in major stamp catalogs (Scott, Michel, Stanley Gibbons). The absence of 'Carolina City' in these catalogs is a primary indicator of its fictional nature.
- Look for official postal markings: Genuine stamps would typically bear official postal markings, denominations, and often the name of a recognized postal authority. Fictional issues may lack these or have them in a non-standard format.
- Examine the design and printing quality: While some fantasy issues can be well-produced, many may exhibit design elements or printing quality inconsistent with official government-issued stamps of the period.
