Gandhi Handbook - Gandhi Stamps Collectors - Gandhi Philatelist - Gandhi stamp seller.

My personal opinion or review (it's up to you to believe it or not, same way like amazon book review ) about Gandhi Handbook is nothing but collection of  NEVER EXISTED or ISSUED or BOGUS or FAKE Gandhi stamps and philatelic material. 

It's not worth buying it at all.

I bought this after recommendation by one famous Gandhi stamp collector or Gandhi philatelist. Even his/ber name don't exist in Gandhi Handbook, but he/she has all that BOGUS material on his/her online exhibition. 

But after buying it I came to know what kind of BOGUS stuff is printed inside to CHEAT new collectors or super RICH people who wants to invest as alternative investment.

Also this Gandhi Handbook is used by Auction House to make reference of this BOGUS stamp as this is the only available source of Gandhi stamps and philatelic material.

Philatelic exhibition judges also use this as reference as well as some self acclaimed Expert use it too.!!

Recently I was looking in to Gandhi Handbook or Gandhi Philatelic Handbook or Gandhi Postal History Handbook and I was surprised to read about Gandhi SPECIMEN stamp presented in BLACK VELVET FOLDER by Indian Embassy in Switzerland.

According to me this is BOGUS or FAKE (not forgery, as it was not made by Indian Embassy).

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2014/11/leather-folder-specimen-stamp-how-to.html

There is EMBLEM of INDIA (3 lion face) you see on top of this black velvet folder was not authorized  until 1951.

So how can it be on the official folder prepared by Indian Embassy in 1948 ?

To me this GANDHI HANDBOOK is nothing by collection of FAKE philatelic material related to Gandhi. 

Even lot of Gandhi stamp collectors and Gandhi philatelist were involved in providing stamps and philatelic material for this Gandhi Handbook and were acknowledge by the author. So how can this kind of thing published in this Gandhi Handbook.

Did they don't even notice ?

No one proof read it ?

No one write about it after printing  that  beware of Gandhi Handbook it's  BOGUS. (never exist). It's FAKE.

I am not sure why no one said any word about it.!! Even after 10-15 years of this Gandhi Handbook was published.!!

There are more than 200+ BOGUS or Forgery or questionable content in this Gandhi Handbook and why no Gandhi stamps collector or Gandhi Philatelist or any philatelist did not write about this on there blog or website or weekly or monthly newsletter.!! (Because everyone is involved ?)

Even 1948 Gandhi official folder from post & telegraph department of India don't have Emblem of India.

So why Embassy in Switzerland used Emblem of India. It's  made some  Gandhi collector to make money.!!


By putting EMBLEM OF INDIA creator of this BOGUS leather or velvet folder from EMBASSY OF INDIA wants to make sure it looks genuine.

Also Emblem of India was used on BOGUS special cancellation from Winnenden Germnay in 2008 which was selling for $100.!! (A rubber stamp selling for $100).

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2011/08/it-back-again-fake-winnenden-germany.html

Look who is selling that Winnenden special cancellation.

Even Emblem of India was used in Brazil folder also.!!

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/01/emblem-of-india-on-1948-gandhi-special.html

Also overprint SPECIMEN stamp are BOGUS, same way Gandhi SERVICE stamp which is marketed as Governor General official use.!!

Gandhi Handbook is collection of Gandhi stamps as well as philatelic material provided by famous Gandhi stamp collectors and Gandhi Philatelist as well as DEALERS who sell's on eBay.

So now you know what kind of material are selling on eBay and why they want there collection to publish.

Also some of the famous award winning philatelist have also provided their collection in this Gandhi Handbook .

Following are some of the famous Gandhi stamps collectors who have won medal in India as well as International stamp exhibition who have given their

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/09/philatelic-handbook-can-you-trust.html

Are Gandhi stamp collectors are involved in big SCAM or RACKET to make money?

I am not sure about your opinion but my experience tells me YES. They are involved very deeply after dealing  and interacting with some of the famous award winning Gandhi stamps collector and philatelist who are also big time eBay seller.

So BEWARE it's a big SCAM.!!

Don't trust Gandhi Handbook.!!

Trust your brain.!!

Think whether this possible.!!

Other wise your kids will regret it and blame you after you die.!!

It's up to you. It's your money.!!

Forgery stamps or FAKE or BOGUS stamp collection postal history from India 1948 Gandhi First day cover

We all know that no one collect stamps any more but still if . you see on eBay there are lot of postal history selling for unbelievable high price.

But also there are lot of Forgery stamps are available also. REPLICA are selling as genuine.

If you read my blog post you know that in 1948 Gandhi stamps from India also had special cancellation (rubber stamp) from Bombay.

But some of the collector came up with idea of special cancellation from different cities and created FAKE or BOGUS (never issued or existed) rubber stamps of special cancellation.

Following First day cover is BOGUS.

Reason for bogus is that there was no special cancellation  issued from AGRA.

But certain famous collector started displaying this kind of first day cover in there in stamp exhibit and also provided this to Gandhi Philatelic and Stamps Handbook author who also wrote and printed in his/her book.

Now new collectors don't know what happen and we believe Philatelic handbook and online exhibit and think this are genuine.

On top of them they started selling on eBay and also started SHILL bidding to increase price so it make us think more that this is genuine.

Also expert certificate were issued for this kind of BOGUS philatelic postal history. There is no one EXPERT in stamp. !!


Recently in August 2018  eBay seller "01visitor" from Hungary sold 1948 Gandhi private (without official envelope) FDC with special cancellation from AGRA was sold for $1000.

He sold another one for $500 in September.!!

Also this FDC has also high value 10 Rupees stamp. In 1948 ten rupees was too much money and regular people will not spend this kind on money on stamp collection to send it to their own address.!!

So to me this stamp is also FORGERY. (Replica is used).

Also regarding the rubber stamp of special cancellation is BOGUS. It was not issued by Post & Telegraph department of India as they never want to sell this stamp from smaller cities like Agra or even Ahmedbad.(Gandhiji spend 15-20 years during freedom fighting.).

Do you really think both transaction are genuine ? ( two covers were sold ?)

Do you really think eBay got commission on  transactions worth $1500 which will be $150 ?

Do you really think Hungary got VAT  (20%) from this transaction which will be $300 ?

Want to read more about Jai Hind special cancellation. Please read following blog post and you I guarantee you will never collect stamps.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/02/gandhi-stamps-and-1948-jai-hind-special.html

So what do you think about this AGRA Jai hind special cancellation first day cover.

Forgery stamps is used ?
FAKE or BOGUS ?

Stamp collection with Redirected postal history from India

Looks like making money is very easy.!

Just make rubber stamp and apply on any old envelope and you can create postal history.

To make it more interesting cross out address and redirect to other country.

To make it more unique apply another rubber stamp with Postage Due or fancy slogan or affix sticker or paper with some message.

Recently I saw India 15th August rubber stamp from "Balrampur" on 1948 Gandhi stamp with message on the cover to France and then redirect to Austria.

It was sold for $425 by eBay seller "asianstamp" from Australia.

To me this is nothing but FAKE first day cover because in 1948 Gandhi stamps was only available to very few major metro city in India such as Bombay or Delhi.

Balrampur is near border of Nepal so how in the world it was transported on that particular day and how many stamp collectors were there.!!

Also it was first anniversary of Independence day of India so everything will closed for celebration.

Also it was Sunday.!!

So my personal opinion about this first day cover .is FAKE.!!

Don't trust Gandhi Philatelic Handbook. It has collection of all forgery and fake philatelic material provided by some famous Gandhi stamps and philatelic  collectors from India as well as around the world who are exhibiting their collection, whom I already called them as Cheaters.!! Click following link to read about Gandhi stamps collectors.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/p/gandhi-stamp-collectors-and-philatelist.html

Now do you agree with my opinion that this Forgery or FAKE?

If not pay $425 so Australian government can get some  VAT and eBay will get commission on this kind of transaction.


All Indian postal history coming in today's market are custom made to create unique philatelic material.

Beware of Indian postal history any thing with

• First Aerial Mail from Allahabad (Bogus - never exist)
• Scinde Dawk (Bogus - never exist)
• British India stamp with overprint of different countries and India state.(Bogus - never exist)
• High value King Edward or King George or Queen Victoria stamps (FORGERY)
• 1948 Gandhi stamp  (FORGERY)
• 1948 Gandhi Service stamps (BOGUS - never exist).

All are BOGUS or FORGERY.!!

Postal History INDIA 1948 GANDHI COMMERCIAL COVER TO SWITZERLAND POSTAGE DUE , PERU EMBASSY

Recently a postal history envelope "commercial cover" from India with 1948 Gandhi stamp send to Switzerland with Postage due from Peru Embassy was sold for $499 by USA seller "cmcstamps".

As per my research this is FAKE postal history envelope"commercial cover".

Yes it is FAKE as there was no PERU EMBASSY in 1948 in India.!!

In 1963 Peru opened it's Embassy in India.!!

India established diplomatic relations with Peru in March 1963.

http://www.indembassy.org.pe/english/bilateral-relation/india-peru.html

Welcome to Gandhi stamp collection.!! (Indian stamp collection)

All postal history from India is FAKE or FORGERY so beware of it.

It's very easy to make rubber stamp "CDS" and apply to any old cover and sell as postal history or commercial cover.

Also you can find old commercial cover in stamp exhibition with or without CDS and apply CDS after affixing stamps on it.

Don't you think it's easy to make postal history (commercial used cover) ?

Postage Due rubber stamp is also FORGERY.

Embajada Del Peru rubber is also FORGERY.

We had seen in past that Emblem of India rubber stamp was used to create special cancellation from Winnenden Germany.

So do you think someone paid $500 for Postal History INDIA 1948 GANDHI COMMERCIAL COVER TO SWITZERLAND POSTAGE DUE , PERU EMBASSY ?

Let's see if someone pays $500 for this cover then do you think seller is paying all VAT, USA Federal Tax and California Sales tax for this FAKE cover ?

So beware of 

• Postal history envelope.
• Commercial used cover.
• Gandhi stamp collection

Also beware of any India stamp collection.

There is 100% chance you will be bidding or buying FAKE or FORGERY stamp or commercial used cover.!!

Who paid $499 ? or it's a SHILL bidding to show that people still collect stamps or postal history!!

Is that stamp collector idiot ? Did he/she don't do any research ?

But it was sold on Ebay!! So everyone is happy including eBay shareholder will get commission and all tax collecting agency.!!

Thanks

India 1900 VIC Postcard - Queen Victoria postcard with China FPO - postal history

Recently I saw India 1900 VIC CEF post card with China FPO sold for $399 by eBay seller "cmcstamps" based in California USA.

After looking this postcard I think it's very to easy make this kind of postal history and make money out of it as who knows what happened in 1901.!!

It's very easy to make RUBBER stamps (you need to make five)  and stamp it on any old postcard available on eBay or at local stamp exhibition.

In past I wrote how to make money by selling stamps.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/p/15-steps-to-make-money-by-selling.html


This Queen Victoria 1900 India postcard has following rubber stamps. (CDS).

INDIA 1900 VICTORIA CEF POST CARD TIENTSIN CHINA FPO NO. 4 TO GERMANY VIA HONG KONG

FPO NO. 4 CDS 9 JULY 1901

BASE OFFICE CDS 10 JULY 1901

HONG KONG CDS 19 JULY 1901

BASE OFICE (HK) CDS 19 JULY 1901

WESEL DELIVERY CDS 19 AUGUST 1901

TRANSIT TIME OF ONE MONTH AND TEN DAYS FROM CHINA TO GERMANY VIA HONG KONG

Let me make sure I am not telling or teaching you how to cheat but this are the possibilities when you buy it so  BEWARE.

Postal history is nothing but Forgery or FAKE.!!


Following is confirmed that seller and buyer completed eBay transaction.

But this item is located in India.!!

So which government will get TAX ?

Seller "cmcstamps" will pay to Income Tax, VAT, Capital Gain Tax to Indian Government 

OR

Seller "cmcstamps" will pay Fedral Tax, California Sales Tax  and Capital Gain TAX to respective agency in USA.

I think based on register location seller has to pay tax in USA. What do you think ?

In past I had similiar type of multiple rubber stamp postal history for $3000.!! Click following link to see this and understand what's are chances in postal history collection. It has 9 rubber stamps from multiple different countries.

Do you think cmcstamps postcard is genuine ?

Still cannot decide then read following blog post which might help you.

1) FAKE or Forged British India Cancellation

2) FAKE Indian Embassy of Nepal Cancellation

3) Even Gandhi Stamps are FAKE.!!

Still not decided then my opinion is AVOID it all the cost.!! and have peace of mind instead of worrying you are buying Genuine material.!!!

To me all Gandhi Philatelic material available ( specially before 1950) looks FAKE or Forgery as it is very hard to find Genuine stuff and as new collectors (like me) wants to collect, so some greedy experienced collectors/dealers will provide  all of us as well as experienced collectors.!!

Still want to do research  then please read my other blog post and have fun.!!

By reading this blog post with all think link, will  you ever trust this postmark cancellation even it is sold to me by some known person also ?

Don't you think POSTAL HISTORY is  very easy to FORGED or FAKED.?

Do you think cmcstamps has to pay tax to USA government bodies as seller is based in USA.?


What is your personal opinion about this India 1900 VIC Postcard - Queen Victoria postcard with China FPO ? (Genuine or FAKE)

My personal opinion this is FAKE. It's very hard to prove it as we don't know what happen in 1901.!!

But I can say seller that seller has to pay tax in USA as seller is based in USA. What do you think ?

DOES ANY ONE COLLECT STAMPS? - GANDHI CENSORED COVER TO GERMANY

Recently I saw India 1948 Gandhi stamps on censored cover to Germany sold for $3383 by ebay seller  "Krabinay" from Germany.

Do you think this is genuine or real value of this censored cover ?

Do you think this is genuine cover  or just some one made it up on some old envelope by putting rubber stamp (CDS).?

Do you think there was SHILL bidding ? You can see 16 bidders were interested in this cover with 41 bids.!?

Now forget about real or fake cover and let's think this is genuine transaction on eBay.


Do you think eBay got commission on this transaction ? It's about $300+

Do you think PayPal was used in this transaction and they got commission about $10.!!

Do you think VAT was paid as per European Union law on this transaction. ? It's about 20%.!! which comes out to be $600+.

Also how about any income tax as per Germany rules and regulation?


Don't you think it's very hard to find out all this information so we will never know the REAL value of this kind of covers.

On top of that DOES ANY ONE COLLECT STAMPS?

Before looking this kind of price and start investing think first other wise you will regret.

I will not pay even $5 for this cover because to me it all looks FAKE as no one would spend that much money for any regular cover in 1948.!!

Also no SENDER info.!!

So Beware.

It's easy to make this kind of philately material.

Just look for old envelope with address in some stamp exhibition with local stamp dealer and you will envelope with address

It's easy to make rubber stamp or someone has old stolen one.!!

Now buy that cover and  affix Gandhi stamps and put that rubber stamp.!!

You can make money !!

$3300.!!

If this is bought by some new collector.!!

Experienced collector knows all this tricks.!!


Thanks
