China PRC stamps - Giant Panda Imperf stamp - China stamp as investment.

China PRC stamps - Giant Panda Imperf stamp was sold on eBay for $749 by eBay seller "cmcstamps" from California.

Do you think this is Genuine stamp ?

It's easy to make IMPERF stamp by using photocopy (Xerox) or by printing with any latest and greatest printer.!!

Do you think this was officially issued stamp by China government. ?

God know what happened in 1963 in Communist China. It's very hard to eat or save money with Communist rule so how come it's all the way in California.!!

Do you really think China PRC stamps - Giant Panda Imperf stamp is worth lot of money like what you see here.?

MY personal opinion is NO. It's nothing but inflated price. But hard to tell.

Do you think China stamp collector or rich Chinese are investing in stamps as alternate investment after advice from investment banker or after looking it on eBay or other auction house ?

They want Chinese rich people to invest in this kind of things which is worthless.

I don't think so. It's nothing but glorifying stamps on eBay or auction house by SHILL bidding so stamp dealers or seller can convience unknown new Chinese rich people that this will be investment for future.!!

It's an art of selling a piece of paper.!!

But let's see if it was really sold by "cmcstamps" and got money from buyer.

Following will make money on this $750

• eBay gets 10% commission
• Paypal get 2-3% commission
• California will make money on state tax or capital gain tax
• USA Federal Government will get tax money on this as capital gain tax or regular income tax on any collectible item. (USA is very strict on tax so no one can make them fool.!!, USA tax department IRS will go anywhere in the world to get their money.)

So now do you think all of this got money ?

It's really hard as only seller and eBay know that it was sold. Seller only knows whether he/she paid all taxes.

Seller can just open case with non payment by buyer and don't have to do anything.!

Expect sell it again or another item and let people start believing it that China PRC stamps are for investment.!!

So think twice.!!

It's your money so you can investment where ever you want.

You don't have to believe in my opinion like Expert Stamp Certificate even after paying to the expert.

So this is free opinion.!!

Thanks

Rich Chinese stamp investment. in China PRC stamps - China Taiwan 1962 Chinese painting Emperors stamps

China PRC stamps - China Taiwan 1962 Chinese painting Emperors  stamps sold on eBay for $10100 by eBay seller "australia-ox-deals".

Do you think this is genuine stamps ? 

May be not even exist as no one knows what happen in 1962 in communist country so you can print it and sell it.!!

Do you think it's a genuine price ?

SHILL bidding may be possibility as it's easy to open account and start bidding on your own auction.!! or other dealers and collector also increase price as you don't have to pay until you win.

There are 20 bidders and 53 bids (private listing).!!

• Unknown new collector wins then he has to pay and regret it,.
• If other dealer or collector wins he will not pay and seller will cancel transaction so don't have to pay commission to eBay.
• If  SHILL bidder wins he will also not pay and open case with eBay for non payment and don't have to pay commission.

What you see on eBay is not correct price. eBay is not regulated by any government like stock exchange.  U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is responsible for any wrong trade or illegal trade or anything like insider trading or fake price on US stock exchange such as Dow or Nasdaq.

So do you think this is

GENUINE priced ?

eBay got commission on this. ?

Australian government got VAT on this as per there new online VAT law ?

Did Australian government got Income Tax and other taxes on this high amount collectible items which might also include capital gain tax. ?

So my personal opinion after following things I saw in last 9+ years in stamp collecting and after writing 700+ blogs

• No one collect stamps anymore.
• SHILL bidding is only way to increase price
• Stamp dealers are looking . for Chinese rich people to invest in stamps.!!
• Forgery, FAKE and BOGUS (never exist) stamps are selling everywhere in order to make money for China & India as there was not much info available.

So my personal opinion is that this is not valued to $10000.!! 

This opinion is like Expert stamp certification who don't take any responsibility even after getting money. 

Here I am giving it free.

If you are rich chinese then you are fooled by some investment advisor to invest in stamp then go for it. It's your money.!!

Let stamp dealer and investment banker become rich and you regret once you know realty.!!

Thanks

GSC.

Note :

China PRC stamps - China Taiwan 1962 Chinese painting Emperors  was sold for $12200 on Jan 13, 2019.!!

15 -18% price reduction in 15 days.!!

with 21 bidders and 82 bids.

Imperf Stamps - Plate proof stamps - Mahatma Gandhi & John F Kennedy from Antigua & Barbuda

With latest printer and photocopy equipment IMPERF stamps are very easy to be forgery.

Also this are actually not a IMPERF stamp it's a color proof and which is waste, but it might be stolen from government archives.

Yes this is also mentioned in Gandhi Handbook but to me this is not a stamp collection but it's collecting stolen goods.!!

So beware what you are collecting.

Following is one of the example from Antigua & Barbuda 1984 MASTER PLATE PROOF IMPERF Horizontal Gutter Pair – Unissued Format – Mahatma Gandhi & John F Kennedy

Recently I saw eBay seller "kohinoor100" from India is selling Antigua & Barbuda 1984 MASTER PLATE PROOF IMPERF Pair Gandhi Kennedy for $500.!!

Don't you think it's easy to make forgery of this by using photocopy or printer!!

Don't you think it's hard to find out whether you are getting this is genuine or forgery because no one knows.

You can create even FAKE (never issued) by various color combination using printer and photoshop software.

Following are my other blog post related to IMPERF stamps or Plate Proof Stamps or color proof stamps.  Please read and then think about IMPERF stamps.

What do you think about this IMPERF stamps  from Antigua & Barbuda 1984 MASTER PLATE PROOF IMPERF Horizontal Gutter Pair – Unissued Format – Mahatma Gandhi & John F Kennedy ?

Will you pay $500 for this John Kennedy Imperf stamp ?

Can you photocopy this stamp? (try it, it's easy).

India Philately is Bogus - India Telegram with Gandhi stamps - Indian Postal History ?

India Philately (stamp related material) is BOGUS.

Bogus means never exist or issued.

It's just take some stamps and old paper and make it as India Philately and can be known as Indian Postal History.

Following is Telegram receipt or delivery paper and it has 1948 Gandhi stamps. (Stamps may be forgery).

This Telegram is nothing but BOGUS. It's an ART of making money.

This kind of things never happened but you will see widely.

Again don't look all philatelic books such as Gandhi Handbook or Stamp exhibition as this is nothing but collection of BOGUS philatelic material.

This kind of telegram receipt is available widely, so BEWARE.

This kind of telegram philatelic material are also in Gandhi Handbook,😀

As I mentioned before that this Gandhi Handbook is nothing but collection of FAKE philatelic material so avoid any Gandhi related material from this book.

This telegram with 1948 Gandhi stamp is also displayed in online Gandhi stamp exhibition also so don’t follow that also other wise you will be loosing lot of money.

Thanks

GANDHI HANDBOOK - MANIK JAIN & M K RAY - A stamp and philatelic handbook review

Recently I saw Gandhi Handbook by Manik Jain and M.K.Ray sold for $40.!

After one of the famous 1948 Gandhi  stamp collector recommended to buy this book to start my Gandhi stamps and philatelic collection, but if I have followed this book it would be disaster to me because I might have lost lot of money.!

As per him this book is consider as bible of Gandhi stamps and philatelic material.!!

But I used my brain and thought about all that things inside this Gandhi Handbook and it does not make sense.

Also there are names of other stamp collectors or philatelist who did not say any word about this incorrect information or forgery material or stolen material or BOGUS (never exist) material in it.

Not only that they also provided material to this book.!!!

But no one know who provided which stamps or philatelic material!!

It's all suspense.

Now I know why he recommended this.!! (To collect all forgery material and Bogus material he had made with cartel !! and exhibited online and around the world.).

I own this book for 5+ years and I though let me write review of this book like Amazon.

• This is a USELESS book - because it has nothing but lot of  FORGERY material published.
• Even some basic information about used covers or special cancellation are INCORRECT.
• This book  collection of forgery covers made by  various collectors who has given to authors to publish in this book and looks like it's not verified whether this are genuine or forgery?

Does it make sense to buy this book ?

No

Will this help to start Gandhi stamp collection ?

No. (Don't buy 1948 Gandhi stamps and IMPERF stamps  or stamps and FDC printed after 1969.)


Will I recommend this book to a friend ?

No. (Only if I want to sell my  forgery or bogus philatelic material which are printed in this book).

Which are some of the FAMOUS philatelic material in the book does not make sense.?

• List is very long. Almost 70% of philatelic material don't make sense, such as

1. Gandhi SERVICE stamp
2. Gandhi SERVICE stamp used by Governor General
3. 1948 Gandhi stamp Special Cancellation with "Jai Hind" issued from various cities of India.
4. 1948 Gandhi FDC from Nepal Indian Embassy
5. 1948 Gandhi Specimen stamp 
6. 1948 Gandhi leather Gandhi Folder
7.  I AM TIRED OF TYPING ALL FORGERY AND BOGUS.!!

DON'T COLLECT GANDHI STAMPS OR INDIA STAMPS so you will be safe.!!

Also don't follow any online Gandhi stamp exhibit. It is also nothing but display of Forgery and FAKE philatelic items, but they are award winning exhibit.!!

Philatelic judges use this Gandhi Handbook as no one know what happened in 1948 or 1949 or 1950.!!

You don't have to follow my review and you can do what ever you want to do. Above is my personal opinion.

Thanks

Indian Philately - India used Singapore - India stamp used abroad - 1854 Lithograph B/172 - Indian Postal History from ebay seller stamp_bay.

Recently Indian Philately sold as  India used Singapore or India stamp used abroad  - 1854 Lithograph B/172  which we also called as Indian Postal History was sold on eBay by "stamp_bay" from California USA for $195.

Buyer is i***a(241).

But I am surprised who in the world collect stamps in this modern internet age!! and paying this much amount for just one single stamp.

Do you really think this was sold for $195 even after seeing on eBay and even with feedback ?

But who cares if buyer is happy then everyone is happy as lot of money from this transaction for seller as well as for eBay as commission as well as all state and federal tax collection agency. Also money for paypal if paid using it.

But I don't know who pays$195 for a piece of paper in this modern high tech world where no one collect stamps as they are busy with other things such as

• Watching TV such as serial or sports
• Surfing Internet
• Watching Youtube or Netflix 
• Playing video games
• Social Networking like facebook or whatsapp

So do you think anyone have time to collect stamps and spend $195.?

We know forgery of B/172 is available in plenty. Following is one of the example it is sold as forgery, but think it can be sold as genuine or rare.!!!

It's an art of making and selling by telling a STORY. It's all about how you tell story to sell it.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2014/01/straits-settlements-stamps-b172-india.html

We know how easy is to make rubber stamps and we had seen forgery of rubber stamps it from all countries including BLUM case from Germany.

http://chinastampsclub.blogspot.com/2014/09/china-monkey-stamp-on-china-postal.html

But we all know how many Forgery stamps as well as rubber stamp are used in Indian Philately or Indian postal history.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/12/most-expensive-stamps-ohms-covers.html

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/08/indian-philately-exposed-forged.html

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/09/postal-history-indian-philately-india.html

So after above blog post what do you think ?

• Genuine rubber stamp B/172 or FORGERY ?
• Genuine used India stamp abroad or FORGERY?
• Genuine eBay transaction where buyer really paid to ebay seller "stamp_bay" and eBay got commission.

Thanks

Making Money by selling on eBay - Stamp collection at it best - First Aerial Post 1911 - Henri Pequet

We know how famous & experienced  stamp collectors make fool (cheat) to new collector by making interesting philatelic material to make money (making living on stamps).

They make FAKE philatelic material with making fake rubber stamp and make it famous by

• Stamp exhibit
• Writing in stamp magazine
• Writing book about it
• Online stamp exhibit (after internet)
• Writing in Blog, stamps forum and  stamp weekly/monthly newsletter.
• Making a big news about it and publish it in paper after 50 or 100+ years.
• Writing to Wikipedia.
• Donating to famous museum.
• Giving it to stamp collector friend in foreign countries.
• Making rubber stamps looks like special cancellation.
• Getting old envelope and using them to create FAKE philatelic material using rubber stamp.
• Give speech at stamp exhibition
• Give speech at embassy and during new stamp inauguration with politician.
• Work with Post & Telegraph department to make stamp of that FAKE philatelic material. (Yes this also possible, as P&T department has no idea about past stamps.! and they believe in them.!! and the FAKE book they wrote.!! and of course politician connection and bribery.!!)

Even though it was very difficult to fly airplane in 1911 (as barely there were road in small villages at that time and right now also to transport plane on heavy trucks) they are very famous without and Photo or Film coverage.!!

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2018/04/first-aerial-mail-from-allahabad-1911.html (you can see video and photo of 1911The First UK Aerial Post Service Between Hendon and Windsor)

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-first-aerial-post-hendon-to-windsor.html

Also I wrote lot of other blog related to 1911 First Aerial Mail from Allahabad.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2016/02/aerophilately-first-aerial-post-mail-uk.html

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2018/04/1st-aerial-mail-post-cover-allahbad.html

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/08/first-aerial-post-india-1911-world-1st.html

Even displayed on Smithsonian  philatelic museum , Washington DC, USA website.

https://postalmuseum.si.edu/collections/object-spotlight/india-air-mail.html

Now let's see following First Aerial Mail 1911 from Allahabad was sold on eBay by "asianstamp" for $355 with 44 bids on it.

Looks like lot of interest in stamp collection.!!!

You can see India even issued stamp for 1911 first aerial cancellation in 1961.

So what do you think about selling price of $355. ?

Is this real price or FAKE price.!!

FAKE price means buyer did not paid to seller and seller cancel transaction on eBay so don't have to pay commission to eBay.


Do you think FIRST AERIAL MAIL is genuine ? Consider following and think.

• Was it possible to send plane from foreign countries to all the way interior part of India.
• Was it possible to send plane on train and then to POLO ground ?
• Was it possible to fly plane from POLO ground ?
• Was it possible to land plane at Naini Junction ?
• Was it possible to create runway in Naini Junction with Jail convit.?
• Was it possible to fly plane at 4:30  or 5:30 PM in the evening in February when . sun set early. (God know what was actual time. It differs depending on who is the exhibitor because it never happened!!)
• Was it possible to carry 6500 letters or 6000 letters on plane. ? (famous collector differs on # of letters.)
• Do you think 200-300 pounds of letters were carried on the plane at that time.!! 
• Was it possible that single postal employee can carry all this letter ?
• Why Magenta color was used on Cancellation not black? Was it possible at that time ?
• Even forgery of this is available in RED color.!!
• Was it possible that million people watch this taking off and no one was there at landing sites.!!
• NO DATE ON SPECIAL CANCELLATION !!

But it still happened.!

How ?

By making it famous using above by some stamp collectors.!!

Thanks

Online Gandhi stamp exhibit - Forgery in India stamps collection

One of the biggest forgery in stamp history is for 1948 India Gandhi stamps collection and Gandhi philatelic material.

Not only that one of the biggest SHILL bidding and FAKE bidding in collectible on eBay and other auction sites also happens in 1948 India Gandhi stamps collection and Gandhi philatelic material.

But Gandhi stamp is also highly glorified by some of the smartest and richest collector by Online Gandhi stamp exhibit or in stamp exhibition or by giving speech in embassy etc.

If you see online gandhi stamp or gandhi philately exhibition you will understand how much forgery or FAKE collectibles are there.

Even Gandhi handbook has nothing but FAKE gandhi FDC or used covers or even fake stamps are printed in that.

Following is one the link which will make you surprised about FORGERY going on in 1948 India Gandhi stamps collection and Gandhi philatelic material.

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

Now you can add one more in that.

Recently I saw Gandhi Private FDC selling on eBay for $399 by seller 'cmcstamps" from California!! Lot of money. You can buy 8-10 gms of Gold with that money.!!

Compare following rubber stamp or special cancellation with a one selling by ebay seller "cmcstamps" and you will see the difference.

Following are also forgery.!!

Also you can search for online exhibit and you will find lot of this kind of forgery and fake 1948 India Gandhi philatelic material. So search for it and get educated.

So what do you think about this Online Gandhi stamp exhibit - Forgery in India stamps collection  ?

Making money on stamp collection hobby or collectibles hobby by selling on eBay

 Recently I saw India 1948 Gandhi Service  used 26 JAN 1950 PRESIDENT’S CAMP P.O. selling for $1900 by ebay seller  "alphaomegaphilately" from India.

But as per my research this Gandhi Service stamp never made officially by Indian Post but it was ART OF MAKING MONEY by some famous collectors during that time.!! Read my blog post and think with your own brain after reading all about this Gandhi SERVICE overprint stamp.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2014/07/overprint-stamps-1948-gandhi-service.html

This is forgery as nothing was actually happened but it is marketed as unique and rare by online exhibit as well as philatelic handbook and even bloggers.

Date 26 Jan 1950 is India Republic day and this India President Post office was open!!

My personal opinion (like expert Certification) you don't have to believe me.

THIS IS NOTHING BUT FORGERY.

If only one is sold seller will hit fortune.!! $1900 for piece of paper.!! You can buy Gold Coin with this money and still save about $600!!

Is stamp collection is still hobby ?

Can you believe someone will cut this from the envelope or cover ?

Don't you think Rubber stamp is easy to make and apply on any piece of paper. ?

See other Gandhi Service stamp forgery with Governor General Post Office.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/09/king-george-vi-stamp-and-gandhi-service.html

Following are some of the other expensive Gandhi philatelic material are on eBay. 

What do you think ? 

Will you trust any of those ?

Will you pay $17000 for 5 philatelic item?

Don't you think it's easy to make money by making this kind of philatelic material and start selling on eBay. ?

Check out my blog post about 15 STEPS TO MAKE MONEY ON EBAY.

Asian Stamp - India 1941 Rocket mail 1st Parachute Labels used by Stephen Smith

We had seen lot of label in Gandhi stamp collection such as Boycott British Goods, Untouchability, Boycott Simon, Leprosy is curable and lot more. Following is the example of labels in stamp collection.

Some of this label are even mentioned in award winning  Gandhi stamp exhibit and even you can see more detail in Online Gandhi stamp exhibit.

In short this label has no value but it is artifically created by stamp collectors to make money. 

Even this label are mentioned in Gandhi Handbook (display of forgery and fake items) in order to make money.!!

You can read more about Labels in stamps and philatelic collection by clicking following link of my blog post.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2014/01/india-gandhi-patriotic-and-boycott.html

Recently I saw India 1941 Rocket mail 1st Parachute unused Labels was sold for $1250  by eBay seller  "asianstamp" from Singapore previously known as "sephilasia2014" and  "sephil.asia.dubai" based in UAE. 

Original account of Asianstamp was opened in Australia then moved to Dubai (UAE) and then Singapore.!!

Can you believe that a label sold for $1250.!! 

It's just label (piece of paper). So anyone can print it any time.!! 

For @1250 you can buy GOLD coin.!! Yes real gold coin with 28 oz of gold.!!

Not sure who are this idiot buyers who are wasting their money.!!

Easy way to make money on eBay.!!

Do you think this is genuine eBay transaction?

Genuine eBay transaction means buyer paid to seller and eBay got commission on this transaction as much as $125.

Reason for asking this is sometimes in order to glorify stamp collection someone will buy it but don't pay to seller but no one know whether this is actually sold.!!

If you see this on eBay then you will think that this is sold for $1250.!!

Following postcard was not included in $1250!!. It's just example how it was used.

Again it is not official which country it was origin. Also anyone can make rubber stamp and forged signature and create postcard with rocket mail.!! Even if it is original created by Stephen Smith it don't have any value as it no official stamp or rubber stamp from country of origin.

Don't you think you can make one or ten or hundred and start making money on eBay.

Stephen Smith, was a pioneering Indian aerospace engineer who developed techniques in delivering mail by rocket. In the ten-year span of his experiments (1934–1944), Smith made some 270 launches, including at least 80 rocket mail flights. (Not sure whether this is correct as Wikipedia can be edited with incorrect information.)

Do you think Stephen Smith was interested in making this kind of postcards and labels.!!

I don't think so as he will be busy in learning new things in Aerospace industry but someone is using his name to make aerophilately.

But some collectors after his dead decided to create this kind of lot of things and started making money on his name.!!

What do you think about this postcard by Asian Stamp - India 1941 Rocket mail 1st Parachute Labels

eBay seller Asian Stamp sold  India 1941 Rocket mail 1st Parachute Labels for $1250 as Best offered price on eBay.

Just India 1941 Rocket mail 1st Parachute Label not signed postcard by Stephen Smith

 Asian Stamp - India 1941 Rocket mail 1st Parachute Labels was sold for $1250 and $1500 in Best Offered. Not sure it was actually sold for but may be 10-20% less.

Can you believe that Asian Stamp make about $2000 just on labels of -India 1941 Rocket mail 1st Parachute Labels.

So what do you think about Asian Stamp - India1941 Rocket mail 1st Parachute Labels ?

Don't you think it has any value in stamp collection or philatelic collection. (no value to all as anyone can print it!!)

How much will you pay for this kind of labels ? ( I will pay $0)

Do you think eBay or PayPal got commission from this transaction ? (my personal opinion is NO.)


So you can also make money by making this kind of things and selling on eBay.!!

Register cover - used envelope - stamp collection - philatelic collection with Gandhi stamps signature required - forgery ?

Recently I saw Gandhi stamp used cover with register post sold on eBay for $11 and $15.

Do you think this used cover has any value ?

Do you think chance of forgery is higher as cheater needs to just make rubber stamp or stickers  and apply on any stamps or envelope and make it as register post.

One can make more money by selling used cover then stamps.!!

Do you think following used cover from Montserrat and St. Vincent to Milton Keynes, UK are genuine ?

99.99% of the world people will have no idea about this countries.!!

In past I had seen forgery and shill bidding on used covers and register covers from Mauritius and other countries to UK.  

This are sold as Register cover - used envelope - stamp collection - philatelic collection but it is nothing by forgery or bogus(never existed).

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/02/royal-mail-forgery-cover-from-mauritius.html

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2011/05/mauritius-stamps-gandhi-stamps-1969-and.html

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/12/great-britain-stamps-mauritius-stamps.html

So after reading above blog link what do you think ?

Now what do you think about following Register cover - used envelope send to Milton Keynes in UK. ?

So what do you think about this Register cover - used envelope with Gandhi stamps with signature required?

Is this genuine ?

Is this Forgery ?

Just do it yourself  - Never travel through postal system. ?
