China Dragon stamp - 1897 China old stamp cover - China stamp as investment.

Recently I saw China -1897 Soochow dragon stamp cover was sold for $2350 by eBay seller "micormayotota" from Australia. 

Do you think it's China stamp as investment. ?

Read my previous post about China stamp as investment where you will see how FORGERY rubber stamps are used to make money.

https://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2019/04/china-prc-stamp-1967-mao-stamp-on.html

Lot of money from China stamps of 1897 cover/envelope with China Dragon stamp.

Do anyone collect stamps in 2019?

I don't think so. So why so much money you see spend on stamp.!! ? It's marketing or China stamp so you think it's genuine and lot of rich chinese invest in stamps.

Do you think this is GENUINE ?

Anyone can make rubber stamps as many as they want and different kind and apply on any old used cover.!!

Following blog post has FORGERY rubber stamp applied as CDS. Look at it and think about it.

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

Also this China 1987 stamp cover/envelope don't have any China address written on it so it can be used cover from anywhere. (stamp from cover removed from other country.!)

So do you think this is genuine ?

Also do you think there were 35 bids from 14 bidders is also genuine. ?

Chances of SHILL bidding is very high to increase price so you will think lot of buyers are interested in this old stamps from China.!!

Do you think eBay got commission from this transaction ?

Do you think Australia government are getting income tax, sales tax and capital gain tax from China 1897 Soochow Dragon stamp collectible item ?

We had seen lot of forgery in Gandhi stamps issued in 1948 so if this happened in democratic country and no one cares than think what can happen in Chinese Communist Country.!!

This 1897 Soochow China Dragon stamp cover might not be even send from China.!!

My personal opinion or review about this China 1897 Soochow dragon stamp cover envelope is nothing but forgery.

You don't have to believe in my expert opinion same way Expert Stamp Certificate issue from philatelic society such as BPA or RPSL don't take any responsibility even after free money. Here I am giving my free opinion about China Stamp 1987 Soochow Dragon stamp envelope.!

Thanks

China PRC stamp - 1967 Mao stamp on envelope cover - China stamps investment.

China PRC stamp - 1967 Mao stamp on envelope cover was sold for $4750 by eBay seller "jumapo60"  from Portugal. 

Do you think this is genuine China PRC stamp of 1967 Mao stamp on envelope cover and send it to Budapest ?

Reason for this is it was very hard to send anything outside China in 1967 because of communist rule.

It's very hard to find whether this is genuine but it's easy to consider as forgery ?

We know how easy is to make forgery cover in today's world and sell it on ebay like we saw in 2009 from Winnenden Germany. If it can happen in Germany it can happen in anywhere at anytime.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2010/01/fake-gandhi-postmark-cancel-from.html

Above is BOGUS (never exist) rubber stamp. They try to make it as if it was issued by German postal service.!!

It's not forgery because there was none like this issued.!! It's BOGUS rubber stamp like kids use to make artwork.

But it's an ART of Making Money.!!

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/01/art-of-making-money-philately-greed.html

Just make rubber stamp  like above and apply it on any old cover available in stamp exhibition.!! 

My personal opinion is that following is forgery rubber stamp from China. (Who will know what happen in 1967 in communist country.!!)

My personal opinion is that this cover was made with some old cover send to Budapest from some other country as there is no address of sender.!!

Now fix some stamp and fake rubber stamp with Chinese date stamp.!!

Do you really think this was sold for $4750.?

I don't think so because

• No one collect stamp anymore
• SHILL bidding is used to increase price by stamp dealer and other philatelic collector
• eBay got commission on this transaction ? (10% of selling price.!!)

All you see is not real.

It's nothing but glorification of China stamp collection so some new guy will invest in stamps after advice from investment advisor as alternative investment in chinese stamps.!!

Still don't believe then read all of the following and think with your own brain.!!

I am not an expert so I cannot say it's forgery or it's genuine.

But you can see how easy is to make rubber stamp and apply on any piece of paper and call it as Philatelic material.!!

It's your money.!!

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.

1913 1914 stamps from Hong Kong to China Burma India GB on Uprated Registered Naval Liu Kung Tau.

 Following is Genuine or Forgery philatelic material ?

After comparing with other philatelic material my personal opinion is it's FORGERY.

1913 1914 stamps from Hong Kong to China Burma India GB on  Uprated Registered Naval Liu Kung Tau.

Don't you think it will be hard to tell as no one knows about this cancellation (rubber stamp).

Also don't you think it's easy to make rubber stamp and apply on any cover and claim it as genuine.

But it sold for $1459 by "ph4uv" from UK. Nice way to make money on piece of paper.!!

UK government will get huge amount of VAT on this cover as well as eBay will get huge commission $140.

Do you really think UK government got VAT on this transaction with 25 bids ?

Do you really think eBay got commission from this transaction with 14 bidders ?

Or it's a FAKE transaction ?

FAKE transaction ?

Yes, buyer (it might SHILL bidding by relative, friend, philatelic collector or seller other id)  increase price and don't pay to seller and seller open case with eBay to cancel transaction so he/she don't have to pay commission to eBay .

In past I wrote about similiar philatelic material "1902 Turkey Zongouldak redirected mail to China Vietnam.!!"

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/11/china-stamp-collection-value.html

(Following is that blog post).

Recently I was searching for Gandhi stamps (not for collection) but to see what kind of FORGERY is available so I can keep up with my knowledge and gain some more experience in forgery Gandhi stamps and also how dealers make their living by selling stamp material.

It's simple to make living on  stamps by doing following

1) Increase price by SHILL Bidding
2) Start selling at high price and give option of make a offer.
3) Make forged material by making different rubber stamps of different cities and make it unique item, so it can get more money !!
4) Now display this in your stamp collection exhibit and also encourage friends to display it even though it's forged.!!
5) Glorified some special thematic stamps by all of the above methods and start selling and hope for someone to buy!!

Following is a unique philatelic material  for sale by eBay seller id  "princessez" in China stamp collection if it is genuine.!!  A 1902 Turkey Zongouldak redirected mail to China Vietnam.!!

But look at the address and do you think it will ever reach to final destination.!!!

Just get any old postcard and start stamping your forged rubber stamps.!!! and start dreaming for someone to buy this.!!

Now if you see it has nine rubber stamp from different cities applied in 1902!! Look at the quality of rubber stamp i.e. type of ink used, detail information about date applied and also complete detail of other things.!!

Don't  you think this was custom made specially for collector.!!?, because postal administration has lot of things to do other than applying cancellation with proper care (such as space to emboss rubber stamp, making sure clear date is shown etc.!!)

Read following screen shot how this postcard was traveled including date, city etc. and after that you decide whether this is worth $3000 or $3.!!

So what do you think about this China stamps collection value.

Does it make sense this in China Stamps.?

Does China stamp collection value is this much.!! Or it's falsely glorified to cheat new rich people in China to invest in stamps.!!!

Now what do you think after reading all the details about postcard travel through postal stream of various countries in 1902 through sea and again with seller in Turkey after considering

1) type of material used in 1902 such as paper, ink etc.
2) weather during travel as well as with various collector storage,

Following are FORGED rubber stamps we call it as postmark of Germany and you decide what are the chance of this kind of rubber stamps on your thematic collection.

Even EXPERTIZING certificates, hand stamps and forged signatures of experts in philatelic society were also forged, so it was very hard for regular collectors like me and you to find out authenticity about the material.

Click following link to read more about BLUM case and OPEN YOUR EYES.!! There are 650 forged rubber stamps from Germany  and think about chances of forged from INDIA or China or any other countries.!!

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2011/06/fake-ffc-flown-in-airbus-a380-with.html

http://www.filatelia.fi/forgeries/blum.html

Now look at the following rubber stamps from Calcutta and Bombay from India and think what are chances of forgery like BLUM case.

Above rubber stamps are taken from same eBay seller who is also selling China stamps philatelic material. This Gandhi First day cancellation as well as Gandhi First Day cover is for sale at $3000 or Make a offer.!!

My offer is $5!! (combine postage charge only).!! In order to win a medal with this kind of material I need to be famous stamp collector as well as active in philatelic exhibition around the world so no one can question authenticity of this.!!!

Also I need to give copy of this to some philatelic book writer so it will be published.!!! And then I will start selling with help of friend or son/daughter living abroad (just to mail this cover).!!

So don't you think this London Street, Calcutta and Colaba, Bombay  can be forged easily.!!!

I think so.!!

Also it does not make sense to have just regular rubber stamp when there was "Jai Hind" first day cancellation  special cancellation issued for this stamp.!! 

BTW : There are plenty of "Jai Hind" FoRgErY or BoGuS special cancellation are available from different cities also.!!!

It's a BIG SCAM or SCANDAL.!!! (Click following link to read it)

Is Gandhi stamps all about Forgery ? Biggest SCAM in stamp collection ?

Now also look at some of the famous Gandhi philatelic material ofcourse it should be FORGED or BOGUS to make it famous.!!!

Read my blog post about following BOGUS FORGED Gandhi stamps and philatelic cancellation with rubber stamp applied on piece of paper or envelope and trying to MAKE huge money instead of selling just MINT stamps.!!

Germany FAKE Cancellation : http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2010/01/fake-gandhi-postmark-cancel-from.html

Mauritius FAKE zipcode : http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2011/11/early-usage-of-indian-pincode-classic.html

Early Usage cover : http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/01/gandhi-1948-stamp-early-usage-of-1948.html

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

So after reading all this do you think it make sense to collect USED postcards or cover?

Don't you think philatelic judges and philatelic association needs to look thoroughly to verify authenticity of this kind of material because it's very hard for them to look information about 100+ years ago and chances of that information might be incorrect or wrong such  as we see it in Gandhi Handbook.!!
