Forgery stamps collection - FAKE stamps

 It's nothing new in stamp collection were forgery stamps are selling as genuine.

Not only that even BOGUS (never exist) stamps or philatelic material is selling on eBay.!!

Even BOGUS error stamps are selling so it's nothing new.!!

What do you think about following VENEZUELA stamps ?

Is it Genuine or Forgery ?

My personal opinion is it's FORGERY. (you don't have to believe me as I am just expressing my view or personal opinion, same way like expert certificate.!!).

So Beware of GANDHI stamps before you buy.!!! It's up to you to decide whether this is genuine or forgery.!!

Following are some of the famous Gandhi forgery or Bogus stamps/philatelic material available in market.!!

Stamp Investment is nothing but artificial created by some investment manager or broker with help of auction houses, stamp dealers and stamp collectors.

At first everyone wants to collect stamp and become stamp collector and exhibit stamps in order to win some medals but greed makes them to get involved in making money and that's lot of it.!!

So stamp collector will work with other dealers to exhibit FORGED stamps or Bogus philatelic material  in world level exhibition so they can glorify philatelic material which has no value.

This stamp collector is now famous and will call other Politician and well respected person in society to inaugurate stamp exhibition or special events in order to market stamps.!!

But Greed of this stamp collector increases, so  now this stamp collector will involved in Cheating and start selling stamps and become dealer.!!!

Now this dealer (collector) will join world wide stamp seller CARTEL (other dealers) and involved in fake bidding, shill bidding and all kind of illegal activities in order to increase price so they can make more money.!!

Now stamp dealer (collector) will work with yearbook writer, philatelic magazine and stamp and philatelic Handbook author to write about this FORGED and Bogus philatelic material.

Sometimes this stamp collector turns dealer will also become author of Philatelic and Stamp Handbooks. Also will write blogs or website or online stamp exhibit related to philatelic stamp collection in order to glorifying and provide false information.!!!

Some times this world famous collector/exhibitor/dealer/author will also donate FORGED philatelic stamps material to philatelic museum or charity in order to gain popularity.!!

Also they will get Expertising Certificate from some unknown or fake expert or forged it!! Or they will create their own expertising company.!! (click this link to read more about stamp expertising)

Now this dealer will work with auction houses around the world to sell this BOGUS philatelic material for thousands of dollars.!!!

Now fund manager will advise you to invest in stamps and they earn money too.!!

This is what stamp investment is.!!!

It's an ART OF MAKING MONEY.!!

Do you want to still INVEST in STAMPS or PHILATELIC material ??

Good Luck and Wish all the best for collecting piece of paper.!!

Now let's see following example of 1902 India  King Edward  VII stamp. This is 25 Rupees stamp issued in 1902 by British India. It was lot of money 113 years ago so no one will have to use this stamp except your are in Royal family so some high government post.

This used stamp was sold for $676 by eBay seller "worldstamp22" from Belgium.

But what are chances of this used stamp FORGERY stamps with forged rubber stamp applied on the stamps.!!

Following are FORGERY or REPLICA stamps which are available in plenty so it's just getting to make forged rubber stamp which can be made easily.!!

Following are FAMOUS FORGERY RUBBER STAMPS USED in PHILATELIC and STAMP COLLECTION so it's not hard to make any regular rubber stamp.

Venezuela Gandhi Stamps : One of the best Gandhi stamps printed.

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

Venezuela issued Mahatma Gandhi stamp in 1972 and also miniature sheet to celebrate 50th Anniversary of  Independence of India in  1997 which has stamps of Gandhi, Sardar Patel, Nehru, Rabindranath Tagore and other achievements of India. I think 1997 miniature sheet is one of the best miniature sheet. 

1972

Also 1972 stamp is also one of the best designed stamp of Mahatma Gandhi.

Both of this stamps are discontinued because of currency devaluation.!!

Venezuela was one of three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Ecuador and New Granada, which became Colombia). For most of the first half of the 20th century, Venezuela was ruled by generally benevolent military strongmen, who promoted the oil industry and allowed for some social reforms. Democratically elected governments have held sway since 1959.

Hugo CHAVEZ, president since 1999, seeks to implement his "21st Century Socialism," which purports to alleviate social ills while at the same time attacking capitalist globalization and existing democratic institutions. Current concerns include: a weakening of democratic institutions, political polarization, a politicized military, drug-related violence along the Colombian border, overdependence on the petroleum industry with its price fluctuations, and irresponsible mining operations that are endangering the rain forest and indigenous peoples.

1997

We have seen lot of foreign stamps of Rabindranath Tagore (Nobel Prize winner) & Jawaharlal Nehru, but I think this is the first stamp of Sardar Patel from foreign country.!! 

Vallabhbhai (Sardar) Patel was an Indian barrister and statesman, one of the leaders of the Indian National Congress and one of the founding fathers of India. He is known to be a social leader of India who played a major role in the country's struggle for independence and guided its integration into a united, independent nation.Therefore he is also regarded as "Bismark of India". He was known as the "Iron Man of India". In India and across the world, he was often addressed as Sardar which means Chief in many languages of India.

Read more about Sardar Patel at Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vallabhbhai_Patel

1972 stamp is available under $1 and Miniature sheet is available somewhere around $10.

According to me you will not get cheated from issuing country seller as they have vast resource to get stamps and also they make money by turnaround of different stamps of their country.

Do you think Venezuela Gandhi stamps are one of the best Gandhi Stamps ever printed.?

Again thanks for reading and  Please share your thoughts in the comments section.

I hope this will help future collectors whether they really want to start collecting GANDHI stamps and philately.!!
