1948 Gandhi stamps from India on postal cover with delivery mark.! genuine or forgery stamps cover.?

Recently ebay seller 'dm_stamps" from Sunnyvale, California sold 1948 Gandhi stamp postal cover with Dely mark was sold for $2800 (or may be less as offer accepted).

Do you really think some one is spending this kind of money on stamp collection or philatelic hobby where all kind of collection is dead.

No one is collecting anything right now as no one has time because of lot of other activities in the world such as surfing on internet, watching Netflix or youtube or social media like facebook or tiktok or even watching TV and Movies and on top of that people are watching cricket or soccer or other sports.

But someone is buying it as per this transaction which is good for ebay(get commission 10%) and paypal (2-3%) and California and USA Federal Tax from capital gain tax on collectible items as well as local tax where buyer reside.

Do you think all of them are getting money from this.?

It's hard to tell as majority of stamp collection transaction are fake (never processed through) as buyer do SHILL bidding (bidding with other id) or friend will buy it for them and they cancel transaction.!!

But if you see on eBay there are lot of Gandhi stamps are sold and currently available.!!

And you might be thinking this selling price is genuine.?

So do your research as it's very easy to make this kind of postal cover as it only required some old postal envelope and rubber stamps.!!

Very easy way to make money on eBay or any other live auction or online auction by famous auction house.

 Now look at following currently available stamps and postal cover or First day cover with 1948 Gandhi stamps from India.

If you have money and want to waste it then buy it.!! It's your money how you spend it.!!

So what do you think.

Are you going to buy Gandhi stamps ?

Thanks

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.

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.!!

Gandhi Stamps 1948 used cover : Is it Rarest Gandhi Cover with Error of Early usage: Gandhi Stamps are false hope of Riches - Part V ?

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

Click following link to read and you decide about Gandhi Stamps 1948 used cover.

Most Expensive stamp if it was Genuine as no one has seen used 10 rupees Gandhi SERVICE before.!!

King George VI stamp and Gandhi SERVICE stamp used on piece of paper. Is it FORGERY of Indian Government Service?

Let me make sure this blog post is for future Gandhi collectors so they know what was happening back in 2012 so they are aware of things going around in Gandhi Stamps 1948 used cover  and their new hobby.

I was surprised when I saw cover from India with 1948 Gandhi stamp valued 12 Annas and send to  France was sold for $6100 !! Following is description of the that cover.

"INDIA GANDHI,12 ANNA ERROR OF ISSUE,02 AUGUST 1948,THE FIRST ISSUE ERROR OF INDIA,IT IS RECORDED THAT,SOME POST OFFICES GOT THE DATE WRONG,THINKING THAT IT WAS TO BE ISSUED ON HIS BIRTHDAY "2ND"VERY FEW STAMPS WERE SOLD,BEFORE THEY REALISED THIS MISTAKE,VERY FEW COVERS SURVIVED,AS MOST STAMPS WERE WASHED OF THE COVER,IRREPLACEABLE."

Do you think postal employee (From : Bombay now Mumbai) was not aware of this famous stamp issued for Mahatma Gandhi and also don't know his birthday who was such a famous person at that time and even today.!! His birthday is October 2nd !!

"Are Gandhi Stamps FALSE hope of Riches?"

To understand above quote please read my previous blog post on this series.

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) Current one!!

This is second early 1948 Gandhi stamps used on the cover which was sold on ebay. Please read my previous blog post before you read and understand blog post -->. Gandhi 1948 stamps early usage. (make sure to read comment on this blog post!!)

Not sure why that previous cover was sold for only $650.!! even though it was Souvenir FDC cover with 10 Rupees stamp printed on it and 2 low value 1948 stamps .!! and this was sold for such as high price even though it is just plain cover and single stamp.!!

But it's good for everyone including in this economy very government is looking for extra money and public companies like ebay is looking for extra revenue so shareholders get benefit and collectors get a unique used cover which they can exhibit and win medal and  they will keep safely in safe deposit from theft, fire, weather etc and pass it to next generation!!

1) Do you think this cover is sold for $6100 and paid all ebay and paypal dues?

2) Do you think buyer and seller are paying appropriate VAT/Sales/Income taxes to Indian government or taxes will be Fedral United States and Sales Tax or any exemption ?

3) Not sure how money was transferred from USA seller to India. ? (I will give this topic for research to Baba Ramadev.!!)

4) Do you really think this was used early on August 2nd instead of August 15th or backdated?

5) Not sure whether it was actual gone through postal stream with receving CDS from Paris?

So not sure whether this is Genuine or FAKE?

Your guess is my guess.

Seller : beattle123  (seller from USA and item location India!!) IS THIS LEGAL?

CLICK LINK TO SEE ON EBAY : http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&

t***8 (2747) --> rohit98103

All above information is taken using public information on internet. Read my other blog to understand this. How to find who is buyer on ebay.!!

I hope buyer did good decision like Vijay Mallaya who bought Gandhiji items from auction for 1.8 million. (read my above blog post to understand this)

I have never did any transaction with seller as well as all 3 top bidders. I don't know who they are and their address etc, , but just want to make aware to all Gandhi Collectors who are this collectors/buyers/willing to buy this kind of unique Gandhi philately material.

But it is good for everyone ebay shareholder.!! They will get benefit from this sale because they are getting 400-600$ as commission and ofcourse some country income tax department is getting money as taxes.!!

This kind of things are happening in almost each and every 1948 high value 1948 India Gandhi FDC/Used Covers.!! So take care. You are on your own.!!

India 10 Rupees Mahatma Gandhi Service postage stamp

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

As all of you might know that 10 Rupees 1948 India Gandhi stamp with overprint SERVICE is one of the least printed (reprinted) stamp in the world.

A set of stamps over-printed as "Service" was issued to the Government of India for official purposes. Only 100 Mahatama Gandhi 10 Rs. stamps were overprinted with "Service" and issued for the use of C. Rajagopalachari, the Governor General of India, making it the world's least printed stamp.[ Of the hundred stamps that were overprinted with "Service", a few were gifted to dignitaries (Do anyone know who were this dignitaries), while most remain at the National Archives, Postal Museums, etc.

Also it is one (between 10-20) of the most expensive stamp in the world.!! So what when price of philatelic material goes up everyone wants to get rich.!!!So there was a forgery of this stamp too.!!
This forgeries are available for more than 10+ years and known as  "Marvelous Maryland" because it was printed in Maryland, USA.  It is categorized as "The ORIGINAL Maryland Forgery"!!!

Original in Forgery.!! (Not knew that there is original also in forgery too.!!)

Following is the forgery of that stamp which is known as Maryland Forgery. But I was surprised when this was sold for $455 with 51 bids on it.!!! Do you think forgery happen in this transaction also.?!!

Seller is in Australia and item shipped from international location.!!! (Are they business seller or helping someone or multiple account and multiple international location.!!)

Do you actual think this is genuine transaction with commission paid to ebay and also to paypal.?!!

You can see this at ebay for next 2 months by clicking following URL.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200747019544

You can figure out from my past blog post who the buyer is.!!  (hint : [(d***i)(189)])  I don't think this is actual purchase as I don't see any feedback on ebay.!!

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p4340.l2565&rt=nc&item=200747019544

If you cannot find buyer then my advice is please quit Gandhi Philately as it will be very hard for you to survive in this Forgery Gandhi Philately World.!!

I am not sure why this much price as this forgery stamp (even with side) is available for less than $10.!! on delcampe and ebay.  Following is the screenshot.

So I am not sure why buyers wants to pay $450!!

To me only difference is seller. One has less than 300 feedback from Australia were as other has more that 3300 feedback from Germany.!!

Read my previous blog post about Gandhi SERVICE stamp: Is it Real or FAKE ?

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/04/gandhi-service-stamp-how-one-can-tell.html

So now you need to decide what's happening in 1948 Gandhi Stamps.!!


This kind of things are happening in almost each and every 1948 high value 1948 India Gandhi FDC/Used Covers.!! So take care. You are on your own.!!

Gandhi 1948 Stamps : Facsimile - Copy - Replica as Forgery or FAKE 1948 Gandhi Stamps.

Hello Gandhi Stamps Collectors,

You all know how popular is 1948 Gandhi stamps from India. And because of this popularity price of this stamp is very high and when price is high all things are possible.!!

Now look at the following high value1948 Gandhi stamp. It's is very hard to find 10 Rupees Gandhi stamp in block of 4. This might sell from 700-1700$ or more if it is Genuine!!

Do you think following is Genuine stamp if seller don't mention about this. I don't think so.!!

Above block of 4 is a facismile/copy/counterfeit stamp.!!!

Because of recent modern technology in printing which is capable of printing money if printer manufacture are not restricted by government. If printers are capable of printing latest US dollar bill with all this watermark/threads/multicolor/magentic ink then to print 1948 stamp is peace of cake for this kind of printers.!!

So keep in mind what latest printers can do (along with rubber stamps) when you buy following items Mint or even USED on FDC or postally used.

1) 10 Rupees 1948 Gandhi stamps
2) 1 1/2, 3 1/2  and 12 Annas 1948 Gandhi stamps
3) SERVICE overprint Gandhi 1948 stamps
4) Imperf Gandhi stamps from Niger, Gabon, Cameroun, and all others Gandhi imperf stamps. (it's easy as no cutting required.!!)
5) SKY is the LIMIT.!!

THIS FAKE STAMPS MIGHT COME ON FDC OR USED COVERS SO BEWARE!!!!!!!!!

Above stamp is currently selling as facsimile(copy).

Following are some screenshot from delcampe where it is sold as facsimile(copy/forgery/fake)

SO BEWARE BEFORE YOU BUY ANY 1948 used stamps from India or F.D.C with India stamps or used covers with India stamps or any other philatelic ITEMS with stamps from India.!!

Thanks
