GANDHI STAMPS CLUB

Exposing illegal activities by investigating what's happening in Gandhi Stamps. I don't want any other stamp collector to get cheated ever like I was cheated because there was no blog, website or book which gives you reality about Forgery, Fake, Shill bidding and correct pricing in Gandhi Stamps and Philately. Think this blog as GANDHI STAMPS NEWSPAPER. No Profit or NON PROFIT approach without trying to sell anything or no advertisement and expressing my freedom of speech.

Expensive stamps or Most valuable stamps - Need to think about it before STAMP as INVESTMENT.!! - It's Never exist.

Last month I wrote about "Overprint stamps - 1948 Gandhi SERVICE stamp selling are BOGUS ?"

Now I can definitely say that all this Overprint Gandhi SERVICE stamps are bogus. It never exist.

All claim about most valuable stamps or most expensive India stamps are also bogus because overprint stamp NEVER exist.!

Click following website of Postal department of Government of India and you will NOT find overprint Gandhi SERVICE stamp.

http://www.indiapost.gov.in/Stamps_List.aspx (select 1948)

So this means that all SERVICE stamps are BOGUS. It never exist.!!

Someone like me did this OVERPRINT in 1948 or 1949 and it has been published in handbooks, exhibit in exhibition or auctioned as expensive stamps or most valuable stamps which is nothing but glorified everywhere without knowing the fact about it.

And that's the reason it's not on Indian Government Postal department website.

Above image and description is from Wikipedia.

"A set of stamps over-printed as "Service" was issued to the Government of India for official purposes. Only 100 Mahatama Gandhi 10 Rs. stamps were overprinted with "Service" and issued for the use of C. Rajagopalachari, the Governor General of India, making it the world's least printed stamp. Of the hundred stamps that were overprinted with "Service", a few were given to dignitaries, while most, including an intact sheet of 50, remain at the National Archives, Postal Museums, etc. The 2006 book by Dr. Reuben Ramkissoon and Dr. Rajagopalan reports that less than 8 copies of the Gandhi 10 Rs Service stamps reside in private hands. In 2011 David Feldman sold an example for €144,000 and suggests that only 18 are known. Forgeries of the overprint are known."

How it end up in National Archives.!!

How we know it's in National Archives or Museum ? (might be given by creator, same way like first aerial mail.!)

How we know only 8 exists?

How we know it's only 100 or 200 printed.!!

Why only 100 or 200!! (To make world least printed stamp!!)

It's nothing but to make money. And that's also lot's of it.!! And someone think it's investment in Stamp.!!

Not sure whether C. Rajagopalachari (Governor General of India) knows about this stamp.!!

We can't trust all that Philatelic handbooks or year books or exhibit or website for correct info because there are chances they got it wrong information.!!

In past I wrote about incorrect information in handbooks so it does not make sense at all to believe it's genuine.

Following is the screen shot from Government of India website which is Genuine.!!

There are wide variety of BOGUS philatelic material made with this 1948 Gandhi stamps so Beware of this before you buy.

So what do you think about this Expensive Stamp ?

Is it really a BOGUS stamp as per my finding ?

My opinion or believe is that OVERPRINT never happened officially by Indian Government or it was not done by Swiss printer.

I think this was glorified by some famous collector or dealer during that time.!!

Following are some forgery blog post I wrote in past.

BOGUS Rubber stamp of Round Table Conference selling for $255.!!

Do you really think Indian Round Table Conference CDS was actually issued or it's just a rubber stamp which was never issued.
