Stamp Catalog Value : DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? 1948 Gandhi stamp price or stamp value.

Hello Gandhi stamps Colletctors,

Recently I read article in "The Guardian" newspaper about "Last post for stamp collectors?" which explain you the reality of stamp collection with difference in Stamp Catalog value v/s actual price.!!

Very interesting article for all stamp collectors including newbie who really want to start collecting as Investment with all hyped by various groups of people including collectors, dealers, financial analyst, investment banker, various writers, online stamp exhibit, philatelic blogs, stamps website, stamps forums, stamps boards, philatelic events, philatelic lectures and speeches etc. 

All of them are doing nothing but to glorifying  what they collect or do so there business or value will appreciate without thinking someone will hurt with this.!!

Click following link to read full indepth about Patrick Collinson article and know what is going on and what are the chance of happening to you or your heirs.!! "Catalog value £175, Sale price £6"

Not only that but you still have to FEAR about getting forgery or bogus stamps or philatelic material.

Also there is no catalog value for philatelic value so it's highly inflated by making it rare which are nothing but forgery such as stamps folders, specimen stamps, used on cover to prime ministers, embassy cancellation etc.

Does it make sense to invest in stamps any more when there are no new collectors interested in stamps because all kind of different hobby such as playing World of Warcraft online video games, Nintendo Wii or Xbox one or Sony PSP or online socializing using facebook, google+ or apple facetime etc.

So think before you start collecting or investing.!!

All sold pricing you see are not true because Buyer don't pay or seller disappear.!! Click following blog post to see where 7-8 transaction of 1948 Gandhi stamps were it was not completed.

You will be surprised after looking 

1) Large Quantity of this 1948 Gandhi stamps available.

2) What a wide range for a set of Gandhi stamps !! ($1200 -$400)

Following screenshot is from eBay were seller "acp-india" is selling 10 quantity of stamps at $440!!

Do you think he is selling REPLICA (reprint) or Facsimile (photocopy) stamps.?

I think so. To have this much quantity makes me think that.!! What do you think.?

Now look at the following screenshot and think the difference between catalog value and actual selling price.!!

Also look at the quantity "acp-india" has.!!

Following are just few of them currently on eBay auction site available!!

DOES THIS PRICING MAKES SENSE TO YOU.

I WILL NOT PAY MORE THAN $50 FOR THIS 1948 GANDHI STAMPS FROM INDIA or might not even buy it!! BECAUSE 

1) LARGE QUANTITY OF STAMPS ARE AVAILABLE.

2) FORGERY ARE AVAILABLE MORE THAN GENUINE STAMPS

3) STAMPS COLLECTION HOBBY IS DECLINING SO CHANCE ARE THIS STAMPS MIGHT BE WORTHLESS LESS OTHERS WHAT WE SEE  AND THERE MIGHT BE NO BUYERS, AS NO NEW COLLECTORS ARE COMING IN THIS HOBBY.!!

4) SHILL BIDDING is always happens in Gandhi stamps as well as other stamps.!!

5) Buyer don't pay to seller always if price goes up.!!

DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?

Thanks

Gandhi Stamps Club

BTW:- It's not only in GANDHI stamps but all BRITISH INDIA stamps of King George, King Edward, Queen Victoria and others. It's all BOGUS.
