Mahatma Gandhi's 150th Birth Anniversary - Beware of stamp scam on this date - October 2nd.

Today is 150th Mahatma Gandhi's brith anniversary. 

There will be lot of celebration around the world but no one is actually working on spreading his message.

Everyone want to make fame out of that event.!!

But some cheaters will try to make money(lot of!!) out of it also.!!

But beware if you are stamp collector or stamp Philatelist as there will be lot of scam to make money.!!

Following is one of the famous scam happened on this date. Famous rubber stamp cancellation from Winnenden Germany. ( Schwaikheim, Germany) and was selling for $100 -$500 or more with FAKE bidding process.!!

Now let's see the price of Gandhi Stamp from USA issued in 1961. It's selling under $3 after almost 58 years.

This is current valid postage which is selling below it's par value.!!

4 cents x 70 stamps = 280 cents

8 cents x 70 stamps = 560 cents.

So it was sold for less even after 58+ years.!!

No one collect Gandhi stamps or Gandhi philatelic material in this modern age.!!

Thanks
