Philatelic cover - Used stamp cover value - Gandhi Commercial used cover

We all know stamp collection is in great downward trend and which also apply to Gandhi  stamps  as well as Philatelic cover - Used stamp cover value - Gandhi Commercial used cover.

Yesterday I saw Calcutta India to Richmond Virginia USA Registered Cover GANDHI which was sold for $5 and there was only one bidder for this Philatelic cover - Used stamp cover value - Gandhi Commercial used cover. 

This Philatelic cover - Used stamp cover value - Gandhi Commercial used cover has three 12 annas 1948 Gandhi stamp from India and 4 annas British India stamp of King George stamps.

So what do think about stamp collection ? (does it make sense to collect).

Also does it make sense to collect Philatelic cover or Used stamp cover value or Gandhi Commercial used cover?

But you all know that in past you saw very HIGH PRICED Philatelic cover - Used stamp cover value - Gandhi Commercial used cover were SOLD.

Following philatelic cover was sold for $153 with just single 1948 Gandhi stamps and that's not even register cover.

So what do you think about following Philatelic cover - Used stamp cover value - Gandhi Commercial used cover ?

Is it really worth $153.?

If you compare following philatelic cover with above $5 Philatelic cover than I think it looks some what suspicious ?

What a difference not only in # of stamps but also in value.!!

Don't you think it's nothing but Glorification by SHILL Bidding or Not Paying to seller ? Following two blog post will explain about it.
