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?

Imperf Stamps - Plate proof stamps - Mahatma Gandhi & John F Kennedy from Antigua & Barbuda

With latest printer and photocopy equipment IMPERF stamps are very easy to be forgery.

Also this are actually not a IMPERF stamp it's a color proof and which is waste, but it might be stolen from government archives.

Yes this is also mentioned in Gandhi Handbook but to me this is not a stamp collection but it's collecting stolen goods.!!

So beware what you are collecting.

Following is one of the example from Antigua & Barbuda 1984 MASTER PLATE PROOF IMPERF Horizontal Gutter Pair – Unissued Format – Mahatma Gandhi & John F Kennedy

Recently I saw eBay seller "kohinoor100" from India is selling Antigua & Barbuda 1984 MASTER PLATE PROOF IMPERF Pair Gandhi Kennedy for $500.!!

Don't you think it's easy to make forgery of this by using photocopy or printer!!

Don't you think it's hard to find out whether you are getting this is genuine or forgery because no one knows.

You can create even FAKE (never issued) by various color combination using printer and photoshop software.

Following are my other blog post related to IMPERF stamps or Plate Proof Stamps or color proof stamps.  Please read and then think about IMPERF stamps.

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.

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 ?

Scinde Dawk 1852 stamp

Scinde Dawk was sold for $1700!! This is known as first stamp of ASIA.!!

And again it's from California by eBay seller "dm_stamps" from Sunnyvale.!!

Great for California state as they are getting lot of money as sales tax/State tax.!!Also great for IRS as they will get lot of money from Fedral Tax/Capital Gain Tax.

Also great for eBay shareholder as they are getting commission on this sale.!! ($170).


I am wondering even after 170+ years this things are available in very good condition.

Looking to Scinde Dawk quantity it looks like some one has Embosse stamp with them.!! (Just emboss it on any old paper and make money.!!

If you do Paper Forensics you will find out reality of this stamp.!!

Do you really think this all things are true.!!

What does this "true" mean?

You are going to pay money for this kind of stamps so you decide.!!

Thanks

Alternative Asset Investment Portfolio - Scinde Dawk stamp RPSL - Alternative investment in stamps.

Recently I read article about Alternative investment and I am surprised that author is writing truth about stamp collection.

You don't see truth in stamp collection whether it's a stamp or first day cover or philatelic cover. Everything is FAKE including reporting about stamps.

Some times author (newspaper) don't know anything about stamps and he/she will write whatever stamp collector(cheater) will tell story about stamp.

Some time author will write what he read about stamp without actually thinking whether it's make sense.  Not sure why they even write about stamp collection (as no one collects stamps or even interested in stamps)

Here Patrick is writng about Alternative investment in stamps which are not even selling for 6 pounds where as catalog value is 175 pounds.

So even CATALOG for stamps are useless.!! If they write lower or less value no one is going to buy there catalog.!! Not sure why they are still printing it.!!

https://www.theguardian.com/money/2013/apr/13/stamp-collectors-catalogues-philately-clubs


Recently I saw Scinde Dawk stamp is for sale on by eBay seller "stampscurrency"  from Pleasanton California.!!

Looks like California is the seller market for Indian stamps specially Gandhi stamps, Scinde Dawk stamps and other Indian stamps.!!

It is for sale for $7500 or Make Offer.!!

As my previous blog spot I wrote my opinion that this stamp might not exist.!! (you don't have to believe my opinion.!!).

But yes there is a RPSL certificate.!! (Do this Expert Certificate has value.!!, They are like me and you.!!)

Even they have to change name from Royal Philatelic Society limited to RPSL.

To me it likes UK Royal also don't want to associate there name with them.!!

Now Scinde Dawk with $7500 value RPSL certificate has only one signature where as 75$ value India stamp has 5 signatures.

Don't you think older stamps (170 years) needs more expert signatures.!!

So according to me there is no value in stamps as Alternative Investment.!!

It is all marketing effort by stamp creator who will be also stamp exhibitor and who also will be author in newsletter or blog or stamp forum and work with portfolio manager to sell his creation.!!!

So Beware.!!

Recently I read American Football player lost 9 million dollar in Alternate investment.!! 

He did not invest in stamps.!!

He invested in Jewelry which has some value.!! (it's GOLD not piece of paper.!!)

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/11/saints-qb-drew-brees-
lost-9-million-to-what-he-calls-a-scam.html

So BEWARE when you invest in Piece of Paper.!!

SCINDE DAWK - Alternative investment in stamps collection.

Scinde Dawk stamp issued in 1852 sold for $6210 by eBay seller "pristinephilatelics" from Sunnyvale, California.

After looking this transaction some question come up in my mind.

• Is this genuine stamp ? (170 year old stamp with some regular eBay seller).
• Is Expert Certificate has any value ? (Any one can become expert and gave their opinion).
• Is eBay shareholders are benefit from this kind of transaction by getting commission on this transaction ? (it will be about $400 -$600).
• Is California State Tax is paid on this transaction ?
• Is US Treasury (Federal Tax) is getting any money from this transaction as Capital Gain Tax ?

So what do you think ?

Is it genuine transaction on eBay by seller full fill all his obligation ?

My EXPERT Certification for this transaction is  SUSPICIOUS. ( You don't have to believe in me.!!) It's my opinion and anyone can give their opinion like EXPERT do.!!

Why SUSPICIOUS 

• Only eBay will know whether this was genuine transaction if they get paid or not. Buyer just bid and don't pay to seller and seller file claim for non payment and have not to paid any commission. And we all think it was really sold for $6200. 
• Expert Certificate can be given by anyone.!! ( I can print one and give it to you!!). As it don't requirement to pass any government exam or there is no license # from government. Read more here about Expertising.  http://uspaexpertising.blogspot.com/ 
• Scinde Dawk stamp might not exist at all. It might be FAKE created by some one and by marketing through handbook, stamp exhibition, fake auction etc as we don't know what actually happen 170 years ago.!! 

Did US government got any capital gain tax or Federal tax or California government got any state tax ?

Did eBAY shareholder benefit from this transaction by getting commission?

To me by showing this kind of value this is a SCAM to divert rich people from Middle East, China and other rich countries as ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT.!!

But they don't know what they are getting.!!

A piece of paper.!!

It's your money so spend it wisely. Don't think STAMPS collection or Philatelic collection as Alternate Investment.

There are lot investment banker who will get you in STAMPS collection or Philatelic collection as Alternate Investment because they get lot of commission.!!

BEWARE when you even think about STAMPS COLLECTION.

Thanks
