GREAT BRITAIN - 1847-54 1s green QV EMBOSSED ISSUE SG#54 IMPERF stamps

Recently I saw GREAT BRITAIN - 1847-54 1s green QV EMBOSSED ISSUE SG#54 2V PAIR USED IMPERF stamps selling on Ebay from "scindedawk" seller for $999.

Is stamp collection still exist?


Do you think any of my blog post will apply to this stamps.



1854 QUEEN VICTORIA STAMPS : Forgery in Indian stamps & Gandhi Boycott Label



INDIAN PHILATELY EXPOSED !!


King Edward stamps forgery










 


By the way Scindedawk is selling 12000+ stamps or philately material from USA or India.

Don't know who will buy all this!!

Are there any new stamp collector coming to this hobby?

On top of that all you still have to pay captial gain tax and income tax, state tax etc.

Don't know which country the tax is paid such as income tax or capital gain tax or whatever.

Similar is the case who knows seller from physical auction site where Gandhi stamp was sold for 500000 pounds.




Do you think all this is REAL?

Thanks

Gandhi stamps collection has any value - Stamp selling on eBay

Gandhi Stamps is one of the popular topic in stamp collection or philately.

But do you really think Gandhi Stamps deserve this kind of value?

I don't think it has any value but if you see price on online auction site such as ebay or even on famous physical international auction site it mind blogging.

Reason for it don't deserve value is because

1) It is artificially created by physically auction site as they are looking for their own commission.
2) Online auction site anyone can increase the value and make it like it's in high demand and high value by SHILL bidding. (seller increase price by their other accounts, as it don't require any PII or credit card info to open account).
3) You can list on Ebay at any price as you don't have to pay anything. (no upfront cost).
4) Even seller will buy with other account and don't pay to seller!!! Seller will open case for non paying buyer and Ebay will not charge anything to seller.


Who collects stamps this days!!!

Even older collectors are dieing and they don't spend this kind of money as they know what's going on this Industry(it's not hobby, but to make money by cheating collectors!)

Also there are more FAKE stamps than genuine stamps.

Also there are more FAKE philately material as it's to make RUBBER stamp and apply on any old cover which you find in stamps exhibit.

Following are recently sold stamps from "cooksontour", "scindedawk"etc.


"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)  All Gandhi stamps!!!










Do you think following Gandhi stamps or philately material still available on ebay  deserve this value!

I don't think so about following high priced Gandhi stamps?









 

So what do you think?

India 1948 Gandhi SERVICE stamp with BPA certificate

Recently India 1948 Gandhi Service stamp was sold for $2000.

I have written more than 50 blog post about Gandhi SERVICE stamp and it's interesting to see  some dumb collector is willing to pay this much for piece of paper!!

Click following blog post to understand what is India 1948 Gandhi SERVICE stamp





As per my knowledge and my research I think this SERVICE overprint was never printed

The story is that this was created by C. Rajagopalachari, the First Governor General of India, and he was selling it as a charity!! 

I have never seen a photograph of C. Rajagopalachari on a stamp which proves that it really existed.

This stamp was not famous or widely distribute when C Rajagopalachari was alive until 1972. He might have given some talk or seminar on this SERVICE stamp.

Then how come you see all this Stamp Expert Certification from BPA or RPLS or whoever. Because it's easy to print and provided certificate. It don't require any government credentials to give certificate like USPA Expertising Inc.

http://uspaexpertising.blogspot.com/





 


So what do you think about this India 1948 Gandhi SERVICE stamp with BPA certificate after reading my blog post.


Thanks

GSC.


BTW: Other Expensive Gandhi stamps sold on ebay are



1) 1948 FDC Gandhi - cancelled Kotagiri --> 10 Rupees was lot of money in 1948 no one will collect it. Also all post office were closed in India except 2-3-4 in major cities. 


2) This blog post


3) India Gandhi 1948 complete set on FDC Bombay GPO -- Not official FDC and may be created after date and special Jai Hind cancellation is not clear so may be Forgery.


4) Madras G.P.O (15 AUG 1948) You research your self using following blogpost. (only city to use AUG instead of AUGUST)

1948 Gandhi stamps FDC from Pondhicherry


Recently 1948 India Gandhi stamp FDC from Pondicherry  sold for $4800 from Singapore ebay seller "straits_collections"

This is forgery as Pondicherry was never part of India until 1963. Before that it was under French rule.

So someone just created RUBBER STAMP and applied on first day cover with stamps(Chance of 10 Rupees Gandhi stamp will be also forgery)

There are more than 50 forgery/fake rubber stamps for Jai Hind  from different Indian cities so beware if you are collecting that.

All are fake (never issued officially by Government of India).

God know what happen in 1948!

Read following blog post so you understand what's going on.






Following is from wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Puducherry#The_end_of_the_French_rule

The independence of India in 1947 gave impetus to the union of France's Indian possessions with former British India. An agreement between France and India in 1948 stipulated that the inhabitants of France's Indian possessions would choose their political future. 


The de jure union of French India with the Indian Union did not take place until 1962. On a de facto basis, the bureaucracy had been united with India's on 1 November 1954. It was organized as a Union Territory in 1963. Puducherry is now a part of India.









Sellers description  as Superb Exhibition piece!!

Pondicherry or Puducherry is a city, an urban agglomeration and a municipality in Pondicherry district in the Indian union territory of Puducherry. It is affectionately known as Pondy, and has been officially known by the alternative name Puducherry since 2006.



French influence.

The City of Pondicherry have recorded history after the advent of the Colonial Powers like the Dutch, Portuguese, English and the French. Though nearby places like Arikamedu, Ariyankuppam, Kakayanthoppe, Villianur, Bahur which were annexed by the French East India Company over a period of time and which became the Union Territory of Pondicherry after Independence have history predating the Colonial History.



The French acquired Puducherry in 1674 and held control, with occasional interruption from the British and Dutch, until 1954 (de jure in 1956), when it was incorporated into the Indian Union along with the rest of French India.



But some is buying for $4800!!

It may be Shill bidding(seller may be using other account or some collector is helping to increase price or buying it and not paying to seller. Seller gets commission back  from ebay!)

So beware of Gandhi stamps

eBay Shill Bidding - how to increase price on ebay - Overprint Gandhi stamps Briefmarken Timbres

Recently I saw Cameroun Mahatma Gandhi  First Moon Landing space overprint stamp sold for $33.

To me this was overprint just to make money by selling it as Rare or unique or error stamps!!

No value in stamp collection right now as it is error.

Do we buy defective product? HELL NO.

First thing it does not make sense that someone will overprint on stamp.

Second thing it does not make sense to overprint multiple different overprint stamp on same stamps. (Gandhi type I stamp, Gandhi type II stamp etc)

Third thing it does not make sense that some one is willing to buy it for $33 in this Internet age world.

$33 for piece of paper!!

But there are 12 bids and 6 bidder!!!


Do you think this is artificially price increased by SHILL bidding?

SHILL bidding is easy. Just open another account on eBay and start bidding. eBay don't ask any payment info until to want to pay for it.!!

If you win then retract the bid.

You can cancel bid before certain timing also.

Do you think sellers has only one account?

Hell No.

This is widely used practice to increase price so it looks genuine that lot of people are buying it and there is increase in value since last year or 5 years!!

But no one know it was actually paid to seller or eBay?

Also some other stamp dealers will bid on this stamp and don't pay in order to increase their stamp collection value.

eBay seller just don't open case and eBay will not charge commission (10%).

Now you will see some of the ebay bidders are bidding on eBay 1569 items (most of them are  stamps, Briefmarken,  Timbres) with 2400 bids and retracting (take back) on 148 items.


Does it make sense?

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.


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.




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 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

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.


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.!!



Thanks

Stamp collection is hobby anymore ? - INDIA 1948 GANDHI FIRST DAY COVER WITH BOMBAY CANCELLATION

Recently  I saw INDIA 1948 GANDHI FIRST DAY COVER WITH BOMBAY CANCELLATION sold on ebay by "cmcstamps" from California for $1199 (may be less as it was also best offer).

We know there are FORGERIES and BOGUS(not issued) special cancellation available for this stamps so how someone can pay this much money (I can buy one gold coin at this price).!!

Please read following series of my blog post  to understand what is going on 1948 Gandhi India stamps and compare this with your Indian thematic philately material.


Is Stamp collection is hobby anymore ? 

Do anyone collect stamps in this age ?

But this was sold so it's good for everyone including eBay, Paypal, California state Tax and also USA federal tax as everyone will get some money!!

Do you think everyone is getting money on this eBay transaction ?

Chance of Shill bidding is way higher in collectible item as buyer might not pay at all and seller has to cancel the transaction in order to avoid paying commission to eBay.!!




So what do you think about this eBay transaction of INDIA 1948 GANDHI FIRST DAY COVER WITH BOMBAY CANCELLATION by "cmcstamps" from California.?

Stamp collection is hobby anymore ?

Indian postal history - India 1852 Scinde Dawk stamp - Indian Philately

Indian postal history - India 1852 Scinde Dawk stamp - Indian Philately was sold on eBay for $1382 by seller "lunar_nj" (241) from India but item location in Kansas USA.

Now we all know what Indian Postal history. It is nothing but FORGERY or BOGUS (never exist) philately material.


Do you think this is GENUINE stamp ?

We know how easy is to make stamps and no one will notice it or even don't know whether was really exist.

In this Scinde Dawk you just need a custom embossed seal which can be made for $20-40 and you can start making money.!!

This Scinde Dawk will be easiest to FORGE as it don't need any color combination or performating cutting!!

Also who knows which is genuine or forged as there is no Genuine.!!


This Indian postal history of  India 1852 Scinde Dawk stamp is 165+ years old and still selling in large quantity. In last 10 years I had seen almost more 200 were sold.!!

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2018/04/scinde-dawk-1852-stamp.html (sold for $1700 by "dm_stamps" from Sunnyvale, CA)


http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2018/04/scinde-dawk-alternative-investment-in.html (sold for $6200 by "pristinephilatelics" from Sunnyvale, CA)

Just 3 eBay transaction were for $10000+ (lot of money for eBay as well as Sunnyvale,CA and Federal tax from just transaction as EU)

In this Indian postal history of  India of 1852 Scinde Dawk stamp on eBay there were 59 bids and 10 bidders as if there is lot of interest.

Anyone can bid on eBay even though they don't have money in account with any number of ebay accounts.!!

We know when price or # of bids are more then there is always SHILL bidding to increase the price.


So what do you think about Shill bidding  in this Indian postal history of  India 1852 Scinde Dawk stamp ?

But it's still lot of money even after paying commision to eBay and Kansas state tax and USA federal tax as location is in Kansas USA.

Do you think seller has to pay tax in USA or India ?






So now what do you think about Indian postal history of India 1852 Scinde Dawk stamp  a classic  Indian Philately?


  • Genuine or Forgery stamp? 
  • Really sold for $1352 ? 
  • Shill bidding happened in this eBay transaction ?
  • Did eBay got commission on this Scinde Dawk?
  • Where seller has to pay taxes ? In USA or India ?
  • Is it legal for eBay seller based in India to sell from USA ?

You know my opinion. 

This is nothing but false hope of riches.!!

Indian Philately Postal History - India 1948 Gandhi Service stamp with PRESIDENT’S CAMP P.O. from ebay seller alphaomegaphilately

Recently I saw Indian Philately Postal History -  India 1948 Gandhi Service stamp with  PRESIDENT’S CAMP P.O. rubber stamp selling by ebay seller "alphaomegaphilately" from Mumbai, India. 

ebay seller "alphaomegaphilately" has 21000+ feedback and ebay member since 2009.!!

This Indian Philately is selling for $1900 which is lot of money.!! 

As per my  following research Overprint SERVICE on this is BOGUS (Never overprinted for Governor General of India).





So this rubber stamp of President Camp P.O is FORGERY as it is used on BOGUS stamp.!!

But this ART OF MAKING MONEY.!



But this kind of stamps and rubber stamp of PRESIDENT’S CAMP Delhi even printed in Gandhi Handbook.!!

And you know what Gandhi Handbook is made for and with help of whom.!! If you don't know then click following link.!!

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2018/10/gandhi-handbook-gandhi-stamps.html


Not only that even EXPERT CERT will is also available for this Indian Philately Postal History - India 1948 Gandhi Service stamp with PRESIDENT’S CAMP P.O.!!

So whether it's with BPA cert or RPSL  cert it's nothing but it's combination of Bogus and forgery.!!

Above is my opinion. It's up to you to believe it or not as I don't take any liability.!!

But Expert Cert issuer also don't take responsibility or liability of their opinion even after you pay them for their service.!!

So what do you think about $1900 price tag ?



Thanks

India 1854 2A Green stamps - British India stamps with BPA cert

India 1854 2A green stamp with Diamond dot cancel was sold for $700 with BPA certificate by eBay seller "select_stamps" from UK.

Do you really think this India 1854 2A green stamp was sold for $700!!

Do you really think India 1854 2A green stamp with BPA certificate has any value.?

Do you really think eBay got commission from this India 1854 2A green stamp transaction (10% of selling price)?

Do you really think rubber stamp Diamond dot is genuine ?


My personal opinion about above question for  India 1854 2A green stamp is NO. (you don't have believe me, it's my opinion)


Reason for not believing in any of the above for India 1854 Green stamp is

1) No one collect stamps any more.
2) Forgeries are available in plenty
3) It's hard to find very genuine old stamp in so many quantity.
4) eBay might not get commission on this as chances are buyer did not paid to seller and seller opened case with ebay for refund.!! 
4) BPA cert has no value as they don't take any responsibility as mentioned on the cert.
(neither the company nor the members of the expert committe can accept any liablility, either collective or individual for any opinion expressed.)
5) It's easy to make rubber stamps. Who know which one is genuine or even exist 160+ years ago.

Think how much capital gain tax or VAT needs to be paid in this 1854 India Green stamp sold for $700. I think it will be ($120 -$140) appr.









NOW LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING AND SEE HOW MANY STAMPS FROM INDIA ISSUED IN 1854 WAS SOLD BY EBAY SELLER for under $50.

  • stamp_bay from California, USA
  • asianstamp from Singapore
  • 2874tessa from UK

Why this is sold for under $50. 

Are not this genuine stamp from stamp_bay or asianstamp or 2874 ?

They all needs to pay same thing to eBay and VAT or CA tax even it sold for such a low price.?

Why such a difference in pricing for 1854 India green stamps 2A issued by British India rule.

Do you following are Forgery stamps as no BPA cert and that's why it is selling for less price ?














Other India 1854 2A green stamp sold  between $700- $100 from ebay seller

  • anglo-indian-affairs
  • ducati46stamps
  • wellingtonshares









This is common practice to make money.

By creating forgery stamps and forgery rubber stamp and start selling.

Compare with other Indian or British India forgery and think about it.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2016/09/first-aerial-post-buying-stamps-on-ebay.html

You know my opinion already and no one  also takes liability.

So what do you think about India 1854 2A stamps.

All are  forgery or genuine ?


Thanks
