Hello Gandhi Philatelist,
The Commonwealth of Nations, normally referred to as the Commonwealth and formerly known as the British Commonwealth, is an intergovernmental organisation of 54 independent member states. All members except Mozambique and Rwanda were part of the British Empire, out of which the Commonwealth developed.
Commonwealth Day is the annual celebration of the Commonwealth of Nations held on the second Monday in March, and marked by a multi-faith service in Westminster Abbey, normally attended by HM Queen Elizabeth II, Head of the Commonwealth, with the Commonwealth Secretary-General and Commonwealth High Commissioners in London. The Queen delivers an address to the Commonwealth, broadcast throughout the world. (From Wikipedia)
In 1983 Great Britain issued special cancellation of Mahatma Gandhi to celebrate Commonwealth Day along with other special cancellation.
Recently this cover were sold for $5 with 4 stamps and 2 Mahatma Gandhi special cancellation of spinning wheel.
Even after 30 years this covers are selling for such a low price.!!
Don't you think stamp collection hobby is declining.!!
In past I wrote about Commonwealth day Cover, which will give you some idea what's going on.
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.

Now don't you think it does NOT make sense STAMP INVESTING!! or even Collecting.!!!
It's a GAME.!!
