I've added a "dubious" tag to the comment that "in most cases tête-bêches are produced for the purpose of collecting". In decades of stamp collecting, I have never come across or even heard of them being produced deliberately (printing layouts excepted), although there does seem to be some forgeries about. Refs needed.--User:DmolDmol (talk) 23:02, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have been around the block myself, and this is the first time I have heard of tête-bêche printings done for the purpose of collecting. I'd like to see some good reference... Bobdatty

Several of the links lead to 404's. Delete? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tulliux (talk • contribs) 17:05, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I added a 'Reference' link to a recent sale of a famous tete-beche pair from France that sold in January 2014 for €130,000 plus commission. The Spink web site will leave it accessible to the general public for a year or two. Tulliux

I removed all but one ext link. That plus the two images in the article are sufficient to illustrate the subject. Philafrenzy (talk) 00:16, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well OK then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tulliux (talk • contribs) 02:50, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This may or may not be worth mentioning in the article, but I often see the phrase "Tête-bêche" misspelled as "têche-bêche" or simply "teche-beche". I suspect some people may mispronounce it accordingly. --Skb8721 (talk) 21:39, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
