We all know how bogus philatelic material is made and sold by displaying in stamp exhibit or increasing price by SHILL bidding so collectors will think it's genuine and it's appreciating, but it's nothing but false hope of riches.!!!
Following is one of them with "Sabko Sanmati De Bhagwan" which was made on SUNDAY January 30, 1949 to celebrate first death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
Also post office in India are not opened on Sunday and no postal administration work such as issuing such a important special cancellation will not be done from such post office and only from one city.
To me it looks like this was not issued by Post and Telegraph department of India, because they generally use G.P.O (General Post Office) for this kind of events, but instead this has postmark from Bombay R.M.S post office.!!
Also it would make more sense if it was issued from Delhi where he died not Bombay.!!
After looking this Bombay R.M.S rubber stamp it looks forgery or stolen from post office during that time and it has been applied on Gandhi philatelic material as needed basis.!!
In my last 4+ years, I had seen more than 100 with this Bombay R.M.S rubber stamp, not only with January 30, 1949 date but all kind of different dates!!.
Don't you think it's easy to make money by selling stamps ?
If you sell just 1948 Gandhi stamps no one will buy it, but if you affix this stamp on cover and apply rubber stamp you can get very good return instead of selling stamp which might not even find buyer.!!

So now do you think YOU CAN MAKE MONEY on internet?
Now you need to decide about following 3 example of BOMBAY R.M.S which were recently sold on eBay for $90, $54, $51, out of which two nice cover were send from India to Switzerland and one nice cover was send to Guntakal. (Looks like eBay shareholder are benefiting from this kind of sale, as they will get commission on it.!! Do you think they get commission ?)
Seller did not mention about "Sabko Sanmati De Bhagwan"!! and only mentioned as NICE COVER.!!
Do you think it's nice cover if you don't know date and what it means to Gandhi Collectors.!!
On 12/29/13 Bombay R.M.S rubber stamp postmark with "Sabko Sanmati De Bhagwan" "India to Switzerland 1949 nice cover with Gandhi" for $90 from eBay seller "groebli"
Three cover were sold by "groebli". Out of three 2 were mailed to Switzerland one to Guntakal, India.
So not sure how cover sent to Guntakal end up with seller in Switzerland ?
To me this will make more chances of BOGUS as it was not mailed at all.!!
On 9/1/2013 this "India to Switzerland 1949 nice cover with Gandhi 3 1/2" was sold for $51 from eBay seller "groebli"
On 6/30/2013 this "India 1949 nice cover with Gandhi 1 1/2" was sold for $54 from eBay seller "groebli"
Want to do more research about this India to Switzerland 1949 nice cover then please read my other blog post about similar covers with Sabko Sanmati de bhagwan covers or Bombay r.m.s

A story of Bombay R.M.S and Gandhi used cover : A interesting cancellation in Gandhi Philately !!
So what do you think about my opinion?
My opinion is same way like and Expert Committee will certified stamps!! (except it's FREE)
So you are on your own to decide.!!
Thanks
