Hello Gandhi Collectors,
As you all know that British India postage were widely used in different countries ruled by Great Britain. But it was more than 65+ years ago and chances of getting good authentic stamps is very rare because at that time no one was thinking about this abroad used stamps.
Also it's very easy to make rubber stamp so it will be very hard to find forgery.!!!
Forgery in Queen Victoria stamps is widely available.
Recently I saw Queen Victoria stamp used abroad selling for $750!! It's not even on cover and also you know how many Queen Victoria stamp are forged and also forgery of Indian (British India) cancellation(rubber stamp) are also available in plenty.
To me all this Gandhi Philately, King George stamps, King Edward stamps and Queen Victoria stamps looks BOGUS as we have seen forgery and fake in everything.!! Click following link to read my blog post about all Fake and Forgery inKing George stamps, King Edward stamps and Queen Victoria stamps.
In past I wrote about Forgery cancellation on East India Company stamp from Penang straits cancellation. You can see that forgery cancellation of India used abroad in following screenshot of my blog.

Now what do you think about Queen Victoria India used abroad stamp.?
Is it Genuine or Forgery?
When you compare stamp of Queen Victoria used abroad with Penang strait cancellation on India stamp used abroad it make my brain wiggly.!!
In past we had seen India USED abroad Gandhi stamp. It was used on Tibet cover and stamps, India Gandhi stamps and Nepal Indian Embassy Cancellation, which was not even sold under $10.!!
It's a real true example of India used abroad on 2 different countries.!! But it's a FORGED cover.!!!
Now don't you think all this INDIA USED ABROAD cannot be trusted ?
To me it's nothing but to make money from new collectors!!!

There is nothing RARE or Scare in philately because this hobby is in downward trend because experienced collectors are loosing interest because value is not appreciating and new collectors are not coming in to this because there are lot of other things to do for them such as playing video games on Nintendo or X-box , social networking on facebook or google+ or surfing on web through internet or SMS through iphone or android or watch games such as cricket, football or basketball.!!
Only way philately can sustain is to stop cheating in this hobby. Yes CHEATING.!! which is what you will see in order to increase value artificially by inflating the price by SHILL bidding, not paying to seller or mutual understanding cancelling transaction and lot more.
