Recently I saw India KGV 1925 overprint Surcharge double stamps sold for $440 with Jal Cooper signature.!! sold by eBay seller "mareval2".
Don't you think signature can be forged. It's more easier than forging stamps or rubber stamp and making used register cover or first day cover or BOGUS stamps.
Following are signatures of Jal Cooper. You decide which one is GENUINE or FORGERY.
Or both might be FORGERY ?
Do you really think following KGV stmaps(King George) or KED stamps(King Edward) are genuine stamps with overprint surcharge stamps.?
In past we had seen lot of KGV or King Edward or Queen Victoria stamp selling as Facismile or copy as it's impossible to get it because 100 years ago 25 Rupees was too much money.!!! Even 10 Rupees and 15 Rupees were too much.!!
And to keep it in mint condition is foolish because it's a piece of paper which can be degraded with time, weather or natural calamities.
We all know how many facsmile or replica (copy) stamps are available for this KGV stmaps(King George) or KED stamps(King Edward) 25 Rupees stamp or 15 Rupees stamps or all 1902 British India stamps or 1909 British India stamps 1925 British India stamps So this might me nothing but forgery stamps selling as genuine.
As I mentioned before Philately or stamp collection is nothing but cheating.
Following are FORGERY or REPLICA stamps which are available in plenty and overprinting it is easier than making stamps.
In order to make money Gandhi Philately collectors will do any thing.
- Create Bogus (never exist) material (like Round Table Conferenece Cancellation or 2009 Gandhi special cancellation from Germany).
- Forged Expertising Certificate
- Shill Bidding
- Don't pay to seller.
- Forged stamps
Look at the following Royal Philatelic Society - RPS certificate. It's FORGED for Indian Round Table conference special cancellation.
But this Round Table Cancellation itself is BOGUS - Never issued by British Postal Administration but it's circulating on eBay.
On top of that it's glorified in various Gandhi Philatelic material such as Philatelic Handbook, Stamp Year Book, Online Gandhi stamp exhibit, Gandhi Philatelic websites/blogs/forum etc.!!

So do you trust Royal Philatelic Society - RPS certificate ?
Above forged expertising certificate was forged by "GandhiPhilately" aka "echobangla" from Australia.!!
Even listing country Australia might be mentioned wrong in order to make collectors think it's not from India.!!
Another forged Royal Philatelic Society expertising certificate is one of the expensive Gandhi stamps.

So do you trust Royal Philatelic Society - RPS certificate ?
All you see on eBay or delcampe or Handbooks are nothing but FORGERY or BOGUS Gandhi Philately material with increase priced by SHILL bidding in order to Glorify and make you think it's GENUINE.
But in reality Gandhi Philately is Cheating.!!
As this also has stamp Expert Certificate I decide to do more research about Expertising Certificate issuer.
To me this Expert Certificate 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 (Expertising Certificate issuer)
Don't you think it's a JOKE.!! (Philatelic JOKE).!!
Let me make sure I am not writing that this is not a genuine stamps or not a genuine certificate or genuine opinion giving through Expert Certificate.
I am just expressing my freedom of speech by expressing my own opinion which can help you to think about WHAT IS this Expertising Certificate in stamp collection which we see all the time for expensive stamps and philatelic items.
As this was issued by Sergio Sismondo, first thing I did was to search on google.!!
To me this Expert Certificate 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 (Expertising Certificate issuer)
- 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.

I searched for Sergio Sismondo on google and found following link, but to me it looks like some what questionable.
I cannot even found "Sergio" name on this website.!! Also address is not any office as it's pointing to some mailbox in mall.( I know people don't want to provide genuine address to avoid spam or privacy, but when you are in business it's shows your identity.!!). But it's required to gain trust of collectors.
Email address is not even pointing to this web address.!! It's sismondo@dreamscape.com which is free web based email address. (In order to gain trust one must have it's own domain name email address, not free one.)
There is No information about Sergio Sismondo

- What are his philatelic expertise ?
- What kind of stamp collection he did in past and present ?
- Participate in stamp exhibition?
- Won any medals in stamp exhibition ?
- Any international philatelic exhibition judging ?
Looks like it's not big philatelic society like The Royal Philatelic Society issuing this certificate but some one like me or you is giving his opinion by charging money.
There are total 87 auction on eBay with Sismondo Certificate. Click this link for auction by Sergio Simondo.
Lot of money by issuing certificate.!! Now I am seriously thinking about to issuing expertising certificate. ( it's coming soon.!!)

It's up to you to decide whether expertising make sense or not. You are paying money so you need to decide.
Also I found another website http://www.sismondowines.com while searching Sergion Sismondo which is all about WINES.
Wines or Stamps ? or both.?

In past I wrote about Expertising certificate so please read my blog post to understand properly.
Even though some of the stamps and philatelic material looks Forgery to me there are expertising certificate because any one can issue certificate without any liability.
To me it looks like any one can issue stamp Expertising certificate.
Issuing stamp expertising certificate don't required any government license or any college degree or you don't have to buy any bonds or money guarantee.
If you are doctor or pharmacist you need degree as well as government license to practice but to issue Expertising certificate any one can issue it even if you don't collect stamp.!!
If doctor or pharmacist makes any mistake or error their license will be suspended or someone will sue them.
But if you are issuer of Stamp Expert Certificate you are not liable of anything even if you give incorrect information.!!
So how can we trust this certificate ? (We Cannot trust it)
Do expertising certificate issuing committee takes full responsibility if some thing is proven wrong after many years.? (No they don't take any responsibility).
They just give opinion and don't take any liability.
Think as PIECE OF PAPER.!! without any liability.
Here in this certificate there is no Company or no members in Expert Committee, It's an individual who is expressing opinion.
In past I wrote following blog posts about forgery of 1854 stamp so what are chances of this as Forgery.
Now as we know that this 1854 QV Queen Victoria India stamps are available in FORGERY what are chances of this as forgery.
In past I wrote following blog posts about forgery of 1854 stamp so what are chances of this as Forgery.
After reading above blog post what do you think about this cancellation and QV stamps ?
Now as we know that this 1854 QV Queen Victoria India stamps are available in FORGERY what are chances of this as forgery.

Not sure why it was sold for such a less even with stamp expert certificate, but who cares when everyone is making money including eBay($50), PayPal ($50) and Expert Certificate issuer ($150), postal agency etc which in turn will be benefited to USA state and federal government who will get income tax, sales tax etc from seller as well as Expert Certificate issuer as well as from eBay and eBay shareholders(if stock goes up).
Lot of money is flowing through stamp collection with stamp expert certificate.
DON'T EVERY STAMP COLLECTOR SHOULD ISSUE EXPERT CERTIFICATE and make money.!!
Any one can become PHILATELIC EXPERT as there is no education needed or college degree or certification exam.!!
Just tell everyone I am Philatelic Expert.!! ( I am Gandhi Philatelic Expert.!!)
To know more about this kind of activity read my following blog post and think what are the possibilities in cheating, glorification, SHILL bidding, FAKE, Forgery etc.
I hope all the above will help while making decision in investing stamps and to avoid getting CHEATED.!!
Now don't you think it does NOT make sense STAMP INVESTING!!
Thanks
