1. Yeman, 1948
Both Scott and Gibbons note that this stamp is part of as set designed to commemorate Yemen's admission to the UN but that it was not actually issued and they do not number it. A set of five stamps was found on ebay for $30 citing Michel #109-113.

2. unrecognized South Moluccas republic, 1952
Scott states, "It appears that stamps of the so-called republic of South Moluccas were privately issued and had no postal use. Accordingly, they are not recognized as postage stamps". Gibbons lists a set of Netherland Indies overprints but is similarly dismissive of any other issues. These stamps are on sale on ebay: the issue depicted is denominated 5r and that has not been found but a set of six stamps of the same design is priced at $5.

3. Latvia, 1932
Sc-B86 SG213 Semi-postal, $4.

4. Eritrea, 1934
