Hello,
We all know how forged or bogus rubber stamp are applied on any available piece of paper and make it as philatelic material.!!
This kind of piece of paper are also made it to philatelic handbook, exhibition , blogs , website etc so it is GLORIFIED and collectors will try to add it in their collection,
But they don't know that they are trapped or made fooled by this kind of group of people who works jointly in order to prompt each other piece of papers.!!
Above piece of paper was sold for $25 with British India stamp of King George and India stamp of Gandhi issued in 1948 with some postmark rubber stamp of post office.!!
We all know how easy is to make rubber stamp and how many forgery and bogus philatelic material is available with Gandhi stamps as well as King George stamps, King Edward stamps etc.
By combining this kind of stamp they (collectors/dealers) try to make unique piece of paper which we consider rare philatelic item, because it has stamps from two different eras and two different famous people on stamp.!!
There are lot of different varieties of this kind of paper and it is widely available. This was sold for $25 by eBay seller "indiaphil".
If this 12 annas Gandhi stamp and 8 stamps of King George stamps were sold in auction then chances are there might be no buyer, so why don't buy some old unused telegram paper and use rubber stamp and sell it for more as there will be lot of buyers.
This is nothing new to make philatelic material with King George stamps or King Edward stamps as we had seen in Round Table cancellation on International Reply coupon or posting receipt from England.!!
