Zanzibar overprint on Queen Victoria India stamp

Hello Gandhi collectors,

Recently I saw Queen Victoria stamp from India with Overprint of Zanzibar. To me it looks nothing but to make money (lot of money) by just overprinting  on regular stamp which cannot be sold for $1, some collectors will come up with idea to make you fool!!

Stamp is on sale for $1950!!! Lot of money, by just overprinting on it.


Instead of Zanzibar it was printed as Zanzidar.!!

Can you believe this is Genuine stamps ?

I don't think this is Genuine but a it's a Forgery same way we like all other Gandhi Overprint stamp.!! Read following blog post to understand Overprint stamps and compare this stamp along with other Gandhi stamps.

1) Cameroon Gandhi and Martin Luther King stamp with Apollo Moon Overprint.!!
2) Nicaragua Einstein and Gandhi Overprint stamps.
3) FAKE - Forged 1948 Gandhi SERVICE stamps from India.
4) Forged King George  Overprint stamps.
5) King George SERVICE overprint stamp inverted.!!
6) King Edward India MISSPELLED stamp from Patiala.!! (Similar to this one.!!)

After looking above blog post what do you think about this MISSPELLED stamp.?

(There is a printing machine out there, which can print anything you want.!!)

Do you still have any doubt that this is also a delibrate overprint with ERROR.!!



Read my following blog post to understand about stamp collection in DECLINE.!!

1) A Hobby in Decline : 1948 Gandhi USED cover case study.!!
2) A Hobby in Decline.!! - Part-2
3) How to invest when philately price is dropping.

If you see stamps are not even selling or selling like 5-10 times lower their value than mentioned in catalog.!!


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.

To know more about this kind of activity read my following blog post and think what are the possibilities in cheating, glorification, SHILL bidding, FAKE, Forgery etc.

9) Gandhi SERVICE overprint stamp price fell from $1009 to $1.!!
10) How can you tell that Gandhi SERVICE stamp is FAKE or Forgery ?

Now don't you think it does NOT make sense STAMP INVESTING!!

Thanks
