Stamp collection price - Stamp as Investment ?

We all know stamp collection price is declining in real world except by some rare collectors who still believe that stamp collection is going  up in India and China.

According to me it's nothing but false glorification of stamp collection price by increasing price by SHILL bidding and not paying to seller by increasing price.

Now look at the following screenshot and you will be surprised about Stamp collection price by selling price and number of bidders bidding on this stamps or first day cover.

Gibraltar 1998 First Day cover of  Stamps of Wisdom of Gandhi, Churchill, Einstein and Shakespeare. After 15 years it's not even selling at face value of 1998.!!! And only one bidder was interested in this 4 stamps.!!!

This proves that stamp collection is declining and also it's not for investment.

Don't you think it's a JOKE stamps as investment.!!



Now look at following screen shot of India 1969 FDC with 4 Gandhi stamps who in world is glorified as one of the most famous stamp for collection, but when you see the price it don't even sell for more than original price if you count dollar value in 1969.!!

Again a  it's a JOKE stamps as investment.!!



Following is one more example Stamp collection price of 1969 Guyana first day cover with  2 Ghandhi stamp.!! It was sold for $2.!!

Don't you think it's a JOKE stamps as investment.!!




After reading all of the above blog post it's now up to you to decide about what is Stamp collection price  and what do you think Stamp as Investment ?

Expensive stamps : Are stamps for investments. ?

We all know how price are increased on eBay by SHILL bidding or by listing at high price and wait for some new buyer to buy it.

Also there is a great push for stamps investment, so some broker or auction company can make money on commission from rich people as they are not aware of CHEATING in stamp collection.

Recently I saw Gandhi stamps from Yemen , Sri Lanka and Somalia were for sale on eBay by "arun7602" for $25 each!!!

And if you buy this stamp for more than $1 or $2 than you will QUIT this hobby and regret whole life why you come in to this.!!


Of course rich people from will not invest in stamp selling for  $25 !!, but it's for medium income family who earned money very hard.!!

According to me this stamp of Mahatma Gandhi from Yemen, Sri Lanka or Somalia should not be more than $1.!! Yes $1, because it's not a unique or rare stamps of Mahatma Gandhi.

Also chances of forgery stamps are very high because it's easier to print now a days.

But if new collector see this price and find somewhere at half price they will try to buy it as they will think they got a deal, but they are ripped off!!

This is not a stamp collection but it's a stamp game, were you try to make fool (cheat) new collectors by listing at higher price and then list with other id at little lower price!!!




Now if you see following screenshot you will get idea what is the pricing of this expensive stamps.!!

It's barely $1 or $2 and it's available in large quantity, more than new collectors will come to this hobby of expensive stamp collection.!!








Even Somalia Gandhi FDC first day cover is selling for $4.!!



So don't you think this $25 for just stamps are very high or unreasonable?

Don't you think if you don't know pricing and buy this stamp then it will be expensive stamps ?

Read some of interesting blog post to see what's going in Gandhi stamps collection and think in your other collectibles items as well.!!

Mahatma Gandhi Photos - Gandhi Photographic images

Recently I saw Gandhi USSR stamp sheet which has photographic images of Gandhi on stamp issued in 1969 for sale on eBay by seller "inkwellarthouseillustrations" .

I was surprised when I saw price tag of $499 for just single stamp sheet of 30 stamps which as Mahatma Gandhi Photo on it..!!!


This is very highly overpriced selling price of  Gandhi Photographic images - Mahatma Gandhi Photos stamps and if you buy it then you will regret your whole life and very high chances are you will quit collectibles hobby.!!

If you see overall picture of stamp collection it is declining like crazy as there are no buyers of stamps even if it is Gandhi.

All you read about stamp investment by rich Indian or Chinese is nothing but glorification and all the high price item selling on eBay is nothing but SHILL bidding or not paying to seller by increasing price.

If you see following screenshot you will see that there is no buyer of this kind of stamp sheet for $8.50 from seller "antqstore".

So if you buy at $499 than chance are you will regret whole your life.!!


Now do you know how will be cheated in stamp collection.!!

Also look at another screenshot of Gandhi first day cover from USA, which is selling for $20.!!

This Gandhi photographic images first day cover don't even sell for more than 50 cents, but eBay seller "inkwellarthouseillustrations" wants $20.!!

Just waiting for some new collector to buy it, and regret it.



Also I saw lot of photographic images of Gandhi for sale. But I had seen in past reprint selling as genuine?  similar to stamps were forgery stamps are selling as genuine stamps.

So what are chances or possibilities of this.!! I am not expert in Mahatma Gandhi Photo but this is my imagination as it's very easy to reprint and sell it.

Following are some of the Mahatma Gandhi Photos for sale from $199 to $129. Looks like there are tons of Mahatma Gandhi photos available for sale.

Rare stamps : Are really rare stamps ?

When you collect stamps you want  RARE stamps in your collection to make it different unique collection from others.

But  rare stamps are available easily in Gandhi stamps or just someone (some group) is trying to make money by selling BOGUS(never exist) philatelic material as rare.!!

Now look at the following screenshot and you will see Courvoisier presentation folder with 1948 Gandhi stamps from India which is selling for $6600.!!

"Hélio Courvoisier S.A., La Chaux-de-Fonds" company was (1928 - 2001) world famous printers in Switzerland, with great quality (no errors) of their printing and ethical staff, who were printing all kind of stamps for different countries, but it's job is not present stamps on behalf of other countries.

It's countries postal department job to present this stamp in presentation folder.

So my personal opinion of this Courvoisier folder is BOGUS because it does not make sense that printer will come up with presentation folder.!! It should be from official postal department of that country.

But here you see it from printer.!!, which to me looks Bogus because it was never presented.

Also looking to the screenshot you will not find any information regarding stamps such as country, issuing date etc.

To me it looks like someone trying to make money by using  any folder available in market and printing "Courvoiser" or "C" on it, and that's the reason it's RARE stamps.!!

Have you ever seen courvoiser folder with other stamps?

I don't think you will ever find courvoiser folder because their job is to print stamps not to present stamps with presentation folder.!!

So it's nothing but trying to get your money by making it's rare.!!

Also presentation folder will be only one official from issuing countries, but in past 4 years I had seen more that 6 presentation folder.!!!

Also if it's a presentation folder it should have all kinds of information about stamps such as designer name, proof readers name, quantity of stamps, detail about stamps etc, but here there is no information except some bad quality printing on any folder (like marriage invitation card with string!!)

Following are some of my blog posts about rare stamps folders, so please click it and read what's going in rare stamps in world.!!


COURVOISIER STAMPS FOLDER : 1948 Gandhi Stamps from India

Rare Million Rupees Gandhi stamps leather folder

If you pay more than $50 for this kind of folder then sure you will be using one of the DUMB ways to DIE.!!





What are chance of that RARE stamps are not really rare, but it is presented as RARE stamp by making it RARE by BOGUS (never exist) material. ?

So what do you think about this RARE stamps.!!?

Will you pay $6600 for this.?

I will not even pay $50 because chances of getting forgery stamps are also high because there are lot of 1948 India Gandhi stamps  forgery are available in market.


It's now up to you to decide whether to spend $6600 on this kind of rare folders or just ignore it.!!

COLLECT GANDHI STAMPS : DUMB WAYS TO DIE.!!

We all don't want to DIE DUMB but sometimes in our decision will make us die DUMB.

And one of the DUMB decision will be collecting GANDHI stamps.!!!

Yes collecting GANDHI stamp is DUMB because it's nothing but CHEATING collectors  by selling FORGERIES stamps or BOGUS philatelic cover made with rubber stamps.



I was watching following video on youtube with my kids and I thought this might also apply to stamp collection also.!!



Recently I saw FORGERY cover with Gandhi stamps of Mauritius from eBay seller "arun7602" selling for $75.!! 

If you don't know what's going in stamp collection and you make DUMB decision you will DIE DUMB because you are paying for piece of paper which is not actually philatelic cover or commerical used cover.

You will be cheated by collectors who make this kind of forged cover and sell it to dealers or collectors by increasing price by SHILL bidding.

I think "arun7602" is also victim of one of the famous collector (a mole in stamp collection!!) who made this cover and  was selling on eBay and delcampe!!



Above commerical cover is nothing but a FORGERY.

If you read following reasearch blog post you will find out who are involved in this forgery.


Following are some of the screenshot from above blog post "Philatelic Fakes and Forgeries". Please click and read if you don't want to DIE DUMB.!!












So after reading above blog post, now do you agree with me that Collecting Gandhi stamps is a DUMB WAY TO DIE.

Now see following screenshot were Gandhi stamps were for sale on eBay  at very expensive price ranging from $30000 - $3000.

Do you think if you buy that you will be buy that stamps you are on you way to die dumb.!!
