Maximum cards - Max cards

Hello Gandhi Philatelist,

Recently I saw Mahatma Gandhi Maximum Card (Max card or Maxi card) along with total 98 Maximum card (FDCards) selling for $99.

But it's not about the price but I was surprised how it is made in such a large quantity. 

After looking this many Max card from Montserrat issued in 1998 I am thinking what are chances of just applying a forged post mark.!!

I am not expert but I had seen lot of forged postmark on Gandhi first day covers, event covers, max cards etc so I am little bit curious about this.

Don't you think this simple rubber stamp can be forged ?


Following are some forgery blog post I wrote in past.

7) Indian Philately EXPOSED ?

I am not expert and I am in this hobby for 4 years only so you don't have to believe me or trust me. But you can think about it. There are more experts with 20-30-40-50 years sitting around with stamp hobby and there are expertizing certificate which might help you.

If you don't want to go through all this don't think as Investment and think as "Philately Greed" and you will be SAFE.

I think collector, dealers, seller, forger will do anything for money such as making BOGUS cancellation from Winnenden to celebrate non-violence for school shooting or plane crash cover, forged 1948 stamps,  Nepal Indian Embassy cancellation, Gandhi SERVICE stamp with forged Sunday cancellation, letter reaching after 2 years or reaching in 3 days from India to France by removing stamps and black ink of rubber stamp etc.

It's nothing new. In stamp collection it has been going on 160+ years since Penny Black. But counterfeit or forgery is going on since 700 B.C. ( 2500+ years).
