QV stamps Great Britain SC# 110 stamp 1884 brown lilac Queen Victoria stamps : What is the REAL stamp value.?

Will you pay $7 or $19000 for same stamp ?

Recently I saw 1884 Great Britain Brown Lilac stamp for $7. But I saw same Great Britain SC# 110 stamp 1884 brown lilac for $19000.!!

It's amazing to see such a price difference.

Of course one is selling as replica and other don't mention that it's replica.!!

So what are chances when you buy such a expensive stamp and you get replica.!! Because it don't look that much different if you don't know too much about what's going in stamp collection.

There are more replica than genuine.

Or you can say there are only replica available.

If you compare following 2 stamps you will be confused which is genuine and which one is FAKE. If you are new collector you will think both are genuine and if avid collector than you think both are FAKE.!!

In June 2010 Gandhi 10 Rupees SERVICE overprint stamp was  selling for $225,000 from San Francisco, California by "tappalman" (as of 6/26/12 eBay id don't exist.!!!), with FORGERY of expertising certificate.

Looking to all Facsmile/Copy available in 2012 for this kind of 1948 SERVICE stamp how we can trust this is indeed Genuine stamp. To read more about FAKE Gandhi Stamps read following blog post for more awareness.

1) 1948 Gandhi Facsimile stamp

Following is FAKE/Forgery/Facismile/Copy of this stamp available. How we can trust above is indeed Genuine stamps.

But it will be hard to notice that if replica is a used stamps by applying forged rubber stamp.

It's very confusing when you collect Mint stamps because of all kinds of forgery available. It's not only in mint stamps, but forgery stamps are converted to USED stamps so there are less chances to get caught or notice. 

Also you see it on piece of paper or envelope with very good cancellation as if it did not travelled through postal stream.!!

Yes we are seen lot of forged rubber stamp on Gandhi stamps as well as British India stamp of King George  stamps, King Edward stamps and Queen Victoria stamps and  First Aerial Mail from Allahabad.

Following are some forgery blog post I wrote in past.

Why 2009 FAKE or BOGUS (not approved by Germany post) Germany Special Cancellation on October 2nd.? (This makes all 1969 special cancellation questionable!!, because who knows what have happen in 1969.!!). Also don't know up to what stage collector goes to take benefit. !!

If this replica stamps is forged with rubber stamp you can make lot of money and don't even get caught, because it will be very hard to find out it's forged rubber stamps and replica stamps.

Now beware about all this before you jump into QV stamps Great Britain SC# 110 stamp 1884 brown lilac Queen Victoria stamps

BIDDERS!! "hitlerandgandhi" just to glorify Gandhi stamps they increase price of 1948 Gandhi FDC and Used covers.!!! (Images are not enough to understand this so read following blog posts.!!)

1) Is GANDHI stamp collection hobby a SCAM?

2) 1948 Stamps False hope of Riches?

3) 1948 Gandhi Stamps: Are False hope of Riches - Part II ?

4) 1948 Gandhi Mourning Private FDC : Are False hope of Riches - Part III?

5) 1948 Expensive Gandhi FDC : Are False hope of Riches - Part IV?

6) 1948 Gandhi Stamps Early Usage cover :  Gandhi Stamps Are False hope of Riches - Part V?

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.

But expertizing certificates are also Forged !!!

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).

Don't you think it's a "PHILATELIC GREED"!!
