India Stamp - BPA certificate

Recently on eBay "43amber" sold India stamp sold for $3000 with BPA certificate.!!

If there is no cheating involved such as not paying to seller then eBay will get lot of commission from this sale and stock holder will get benefit from this kind of transaction. (Disclosure : I own eBay stock and not planning to sell in 72 hours).

Yes there is lot of cheating going in Indian stamp collection were buyer don't pay seller or shill bidding etc so be careful when you think about buying stock based on what you see on eBay.

Most of the time (specially in stamp collection) it's all BOGUS were price is increased by shill bidding or fake bidding (buyer don't pay seller).

But also there is also lot of cheating in selling FORGERY rubber stamp applied on forged stamps so needs to be very careful.

I am not either writing (certifying)  that following is forgery or genuine because it will be very hard to find all information what kind of rubber stamp is involved as this are very  old stamps and difficult to find information.

Even if there is any information in some HANDBOOK or year book chances of that might have incorrect information which might be published to sell forgery material.

I had seen lot of GANDHI forgery material published in all kinds of Handbooks and website or exhibit to glorify Gandhi philatelic material which are nothing but BOGUS (which never exist) and forger can make lot of money.!!!

Stamp collection specially Gandhi stamps and British India stamps is about making money by providing BOGUS or forgery philatelic material.

You can still win medal in stamp exhibit with this kind of BOGUS material as philatelic judges are not aware of this or keeping their eye closed as they know what's going on.!!

So what do you think about this stamp and eBay tranasction ?

1) Did eBay/PayPal got commission from this sale ? (about 15%)

2) Do you think this is genuine philatelic material ?

3) Do you trust Expert Certificate ?

Don't you think it's  another way  of "Art of making money : Philately Greed.!!"
