GANDHI STAMPS CLUB: Bermuda stamps - King Edward stamp - KEVII stamp

We all know how some dealers/collectors are trying to sell Forgery stamps as genuine stamps.

There are facsimile or copy of every expensive stamps available for very cheap price (under $2-3) and I had seen lot of them selling for $100- $225000.!!

Now let see following Forgery stamp but sold as Fantasy stamp of Bermuda valued 2/6 of King Edward stamp - KEVII stamp was sold for $13.

Now Bermuda stamps - King Edward stamp - KEVII stamp - B.P.A Expertising Certificate was selling for $3500.!!

Now what are chances of this also forgery stamps.?

I am not saying that this is forged stamp as I am not expert. But just thinking about it. As a buyer you need to decide what is genuine and what is forgery or chances of forgery.

But this Expert Certificate don't take any responsibility !!

So what if you get above stamps as genuine stamps?

Who is responsible for that after 45 days because you can only complain to eBay upto that period. After that you are on your own.!!

In past I had seen Forgery of Expert Certificate also.!!

And you don't need any qualification to issue Expert Certificate as any one can become Expert.!!

I had seen lot of CHEATING in British India Stamps of King Edward stamps or King George Stamps etc. You can read my blog post and think what are chances of this in any stamps collection.

What is stamp Expertising ?

"Neither the Company nor the members of the Expert Committee can accept any liability, either collective or individual, for any opinion expressed."

Does this make sense to you to get stamp Expertising Expertizing Certificate.

To me any Expert Certificate or Stamp Expertizing does not add any value, because it looks like any one can give their opinion and call piece of paper as Expertising Certificate.

To become stamp Expert or to issue Expertising Certificate it's very easy. Just start it as don't need any of the following.

You don't need any college degree or certification or license from government.
There are no rules or law in stamp expertising certificate which needs to be followed and there is no overseeing authority who can revoke you as stamp expert or philatelic expert.
Even to open a store or company it require permit from local authority and they do all kind of inspection, background check etc. You don't need when you start issuing expertising certificate.
It don't require physical address also as website is only requirement to become philatelic expert.
It's not even printed in with some special ink or paper or logos or watermark.
