My personal opinion for Tibet stamps with India or China stamps is nothing but Forgery or BOGUS.
Reason for thinking this it's easy to make rubber stamp and apply it to any cover and claim it as stamp used abroad.!!
Also who knows what happened in 100+ years ago.!!
All you see in stamp or philatelic Handbook should not be trusted as FORGERY and BOGUS might be included.
Stamp and Philatelic Handbook are nothing but marketing tool for FAKE and FORGERY philatelic material.!! so collector will think it's one of a kind philatelic material.!
Even stamp newsletters and philatelic yearly books are also nothing by marketing tool to promote FAKE and FORGERY philatelic material.!! So collector will think it's genuine.!!
So BEWARE what you are looking or reading.!!
Same applies to ONLINE stamp exhibit or topical stamp websites, which is nothing but promotion of FAKE, BOGUS and FORGERY philatelic materials(rubber stamps).
To me it's a unique way to make money by applying different rubber stamp so collectors might buy it by mistake before they realize about stamp collection.
Stamp collection (specially used covers with unique cancellation, folders and other philatelic material) is nothing but a SCAM.!!
Recently I saw China Tibet India 1911 register combination cover sold for $3300 by "newby101" from UK.
If you think it's lot of money for anyone.!!
If this mint stamps were sold no one will buy or you cannot ask for this kind of money.
But as it has rubber stamp of YATUNG it was sold for $3300.
Not sure about this China Tibet India stamps cover is genuine or forgery. It will be very very hard to find any info about this. It's just a guessing work.
Let me make sure that I am not claiming this as Forgery or Bogus or even Genuine. It's up to you to decided. I am just expressing my view like Expert Certificate which are not responsible for any thing, even after taking money.!!!
Even stamp EXPERT Certificate are forgery or BOGUS.!! or even easy to make one.!!

But we can definitely guess that this kind of money is good for eBay Shareholders because it will generate lot of money from commission of this kind of high value transaction.!!
But what if eBay is not getting any money from this transaction ?!
Yes what you see on eBay is not always true.!!
Hardly true when it comes to collectible items such as coins or stamps or any other things, because of following.
- SHILL bidding where seller or relative or friend is using other accounts to bid on it to increase price and if they win they will open case with eBay for non payment and eBay will not charge commission to seller.
- Some times SHILL bidder will retract the bid if they reach max bid of other bidder.!!
- FAKE buyer who don't pay to seller and seller will cancel transaction so he/she don't have to pay commission to eBay.
Now let's analyze this transaction.
There were 5 bidders and 6 bids which is very unusual.!!, Usually there will be 20 -50 bids for this kind of price.!!
So do you think collectors bid on this many items.?
Do they have money for 100+ items to spend on hobby like this which is declining worldwide or almost obsolete.!!
Following are some notable SCAM from above blog post which will help you to know what is STAMP COLLECTION!!

BTW : Want to know more about this kind of activity read my following blog post and think what are the possibilities in postal history of cheating, glorification, SHILL bidding, FAKE, Forgery etc.
1) 1948 Stamps False hope of Riches?
2) 1948 Gandhi Stamps: Are False hope of Riches - Part II ?
3) 1948 Gandhi Mourning Private FDC : Are False hope of Riches - Part III?
4) 1948 Expensive Gandhi FDC : Are False hope of Riches - Part IV?
5) 1948 Gandhi Stamps Early Usage cover : Gandhi Stamps Are False hope of Riches - Part V?

7) Indian Philately Exposed
8) Indian Philately Exposed - Part II
9) Gandhi SERVICE overprint stamp price fell from $1009 to $1.!!
10) How can you tell that Gandhi SERVICE stamp is FAKE or Forgery ?
I hope all of the above will help you to make decision in investing rare stamps and to avoid getting CHEATED.!!
After looking all of the above RUBBER stamps don't you think it's easy to make one from TIBET and apply on any old cover (which you buy it at any dealer in stamp show or on eBay) and apply it and claim as RARE Tibet cover.!!
So what do you think about
- China Tibet India stamps ?, Is it Genuine or Forgery Philatelic material(rubber stamps).
- Did buyer paid to seller, and eBay got commission?
- Did eBay Shareholders are benefiting from this kind of high value sale of collectibles items.? ( I hope so!!)
