Churchill Kennedy Gandhi Bhutan Stamp : Don't know what to do after 40 years of collection?

Hello Gandhi Philatelist,

Recently I saw First Day cover from Bhutan with Plastic Embossed 3D Churchill stamp, Kennedy stamp and Gandhi Stamp sold for only $8.!!

So after looking at pricing collectors don't know what to do (sell or hold) with  their collection? because pricing don't justify their investment.

Also Bhutan F.D.C and stamps are widely available in large quantity so it makes their decision simple.!! Just sell it or it will die it self.!!


This are one of the unique stamp issued by Bhutan and all three are great leaders of their countries as well as they have huge impact on world.

Following are blog post related to Bhutan Gandhi stamps, Churchill Gandhi stamps and Kennedy Gandhi stamps.

I also found out that 20-30 years ago they were one of the famous personalities for stamp collector also, but because of dramstically decline in stamp collection hobby demand of  their stamps and first day cover are worth to nothing.



Recently I had seen that F.D.C was without Gandhi stamp was not even sold.!!

So looking to above screenshot it has only one buyer and it only sold for $8.!! So this proves that indeed philately hobby is great verge of decline.!!

Please read my other blog post related to Gandhi and Churchill.



So beware what are you collecting.

Now look at following screenshot and see huge quantity of Bhutan Churchill stamp, Bhutan Gandhi stamp and Bhutan JFK stamps First day cover  is available even after 40+ years.




So you need to think always before you buy otherwise you will regret.

To me at the end it will be JUST PIECE OF PAPER.!!

If you have money to throw away then start collecting  British India Stamps, 1948 Gandhi Stamps and Philatelic material and you will have a PIECE of PAPER (with no peace of mind.!!).

Still cannot decide then read following blog post which might help you.


Still not decided then my opinion is AVOID it all the cost.!! and have peace of mind instead of worrying you are buying Genuine material.!!!

To me all Gandhi Philatelic material available ( specially before 1950) looks FAKE or Forgery as it is very hard to find Genuine stuff and as new collectors (like me) wants to collect, so some greedy experienced collectors/dealers will provide  all of us as well as experienced collectors.!!

Still want to do research  then please read my other blog post and have fun.!!
