China stamp collection is a SCANDAL ?

Are Gandhi stamps buyer(bidder) and Gandhi Philatelic material buyer(bidder) are involved in STAMPS SCANDAL.!!?

Last week I wrote about "Gandhi Stamps is "The Greatest Scandal in Stamp Collection" ? : How experienced Collectors/Dealers Fooled YOU.!!" were buyers don't pay to seller in order to increase price.

In that blog post seller "buyersellers-australia" did not get money from buyer.

In this blog post, I am not talking just Scandal in Gandhi stamps, but any thematic stamp collection is a SCANDAL ?

My personal opinion is YES, stamp collection is a SCANDAL!! so watch out what you are collecting or involved in it.

If you just sell stamps then you will not get more than $1 or $2, but by making this kind of cover can get lot of money and can make your living on selling stamps and philatelic material.!!

How to make living on stamp collectors.!!

Also no one will notice whether stamps are forgery stamps (replica or facsimile).!! because of forged rubber stamp applied on this.

How can you tell this is genuine first fligh cover from peiping to Shanghai.?

Recently eBay seller "buyersellers-australia" sold China philatelic cover  for $210 to one biggest non paying Gandhi stamp buyer "shafiqshah2810"

This winner of China 1920 first flight air mail cover Peiping to Shanghai  "shafiqshah2810" in past was winner of Gandhi SERVICE stamp for $907, but did not paid to seller.!! 

He not only  inflated the price of that stamp, but also used eBay infrastructure and  created loss to eBay stock holders. (Disclosure: I owned eBay stock. eBay stock holders think that this kind of sale is getting lot of comission to their company and stock price will go up.!! Are they cheating to eBay stock holder also.!!)

Even though Gandhi SERVICE stamps are available only on forgery because actual stamp are very less and they even sell with forged expertising certificate as genuine.!!

Read my blog posts about that non paying deal on eBay, so you can think about SCANDAL in China Stamps also.

China stamp collection is a SCANDAL ?

So after reading above blog post what do you think about this China stamp?

Did it really sold for $210 and paid all eBay commission and PayPal fees? (Looks like he paid to seller from feedback, but chances of returning item or false feedback are also possible.)

Is it genuine philatelic cover as it has been almost 90+ years and there are more replica or facsimile available of China stamps as well as any other expensive stamps.!!

Look at following forgery available in British India stamp collection.

As in my previous blog post, I mentioned about CHINA stamps forgery, illegal activities such as SHILL bidding and other non ethical way to increase price, so after reading following blog post what do you think about this.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/07/china-mao-stamps-folder.html

So what do you think about this China stamp transaction.?

In my previous blog I mentioned about Gandhi stamp scandal.

This makes me think that are Gandhi stamp buyer are greatly involved in increasing stamps price ?

Do you think Gandhi stamp buyer are also buying all kinds of stamps or they are just dealers who are buying it.? 

Because stamp collector don't collect each and every thematic collection. If you see above screenshot you will see that "shafiqshah2810" is buying Mongolia stamps, China stamps, Russia stamps, Queen Victoria stamps and philatelic material. So what this indicates to you.?

And which makes me think that are Gandhi stamps buyers (collectors) are  involved in one of the biggest ongoing SCANDAL in stamp collection?

It's up to you to decide ( China stamp collection is a SCANDAL ?) as you have to PAY with YOUR own money.!!

Thanks

China Mao stamps folder.

Hello Gandhi stamps collectors,

Just comparing Gandhi stamps folder with China Mao stamps folder.!!, so we can learn some thing useful for our collection.!!

We all know that India and China are booming countries in world were lot of millionares are borned every day, and to get money from them as alternate investment is also booming business.!!

Alternate investment in stamp collection.!! which are sometimes nothing but BOGUS or Forged stamps or philatelic material, as new born millionares don't have any idea about stamps or very minimum knowledge about stamp collection.!!

We all know what kind of forgery or BOGUS philatelic folder are selling on eBay with Gandhi stamps, but recently I saw China Mao stamp folder and I was very surprised, when compared with Gandhi stamp folders. Lot of similarities between Gandhi stamp folder and Mao stamp folder.

 This folder was sold from Taiwan  for $1008 (lot of money is spend by seller for piece of paper.!!) by eBay seller "tw12tw".

Not sure whether this is Genuine or BOGUS like other Gandhi stamps folder.!! You need to make sure before you buy any kind of philatelic material whether it's Gandhi or Mao or any other thematic collection because it's very tempting to make this kind of folder and sell it high price instead of selling just mint stamps.!!!

There are also chance of getting replica or facsimile stamps.!!

So BEWARE before you buy.

Whether it be "COURVOISIER 1948 STAMPS FOLDER" or " Brazil Gandhi stamps folder" or "Million Rupee Gandhi specimen folder".

Click following link to understand "Mastering of stamp folder" and try to get some idea and you can apply it to your collection.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/03/rare-stamps.html

All the above Gandhi folder are BOGUS, glorified by increasing price by not paying to seller or shill bidding etc.

Now compare this trend with MAO stamp folder and think what are chances.?

Do you think it was genuine eBay transaction were buyer really paid to seller ($1008) and all eBay and Paypal commission were paid.?

Reason for this suspiscous is buyer has very bad feedback for not paying to seller!!! So not sure whether this was glorification of China stamp by buying it and not paying it at very high price to make false impression on other collectors.?

There are lot of things needs to look before buying any kind of stamps whether is Gandhi stamps or China stamps or just a stamp.!!

Following are my blog post were I compare China Mao stamps with trends in Gandhi philately such as pricing, overprint stamps, facsimile etc.

You know how bad is stamp collection hobby right now as no new collectors wants to collect stamps and experienced collectors wants to dump their collection.!!!

So what do you think about China MAO stamp folder.?

Is it genuine or Bogus?

Mao Stamps : Directives of Mao stamps

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

Recently while researching Gandhi stamps I found lot of similarities between Gandhi stamps of India and Mao stamps of China.

1) Both are selling are very high price. 

2) Lot of forgeries and bogus stamps and philatelic material is available.

3) Seller trying to hide information !!

Following is just one of the example.!!

On May 22nd 1968 Mao stamps from China was sold $5000.!!

Do you really think this stamps are such a high valued or it's artificially inflated by various SHILL bidding method we see in stamps from India and China specially in Gandhi stamps and Mao stamps.?

Also what are chances of FORGED stamps selling as genuine stamps ? We all know how many facsimile or copy or replica stamps of Mao as well as Gandhi stamps are available.!! So what are chances.

Now let's see why seller wants to hide buyer list by making private listing? Any way you cannot see real buyer name on eBay!!

Do you think by hiding buyer name something illegal means are used in bidding such as SHILL bidding ?

SHILL bidding is nothing but when seller is using his/her other eBay id or friends or relatives are bidding on it.!!

Now let's see why feedback are made PRIVATE by seller ?

Only reason I see to make it private is to hide something!!!

I think seller and buyer both should be proud if they have some valuable  item in their collection.!!!

Don't you think you will be proud if you GENUINE item in your possession?

Don't you think as a seller you should be proud that your are selling some GENUINE items?

Then Why HIDE?

So what do you think about this stamp selling for $5000.!!

Is it Genuine transaction?

Do you think eBay got commission on $5000 and PayPal also got commission on money that was paid ???

If it is real transaction then this is very good business because eBay will get almost $300 - $500 on commission.!!!

That means eBay share holders are happy.!!! (Disclosure : I am one of that. I own eBay stocks in my portfolio.!!)

Do you really think that China stamps is for Investment ? or it's same thing like we saw in Gandhi stamps were everything is BOGUS and  False Hope of Riches where buyer don't pay or shill bidding or forgeries are available more than real !!

But what if it is not REAL or Genuine transaction.!! Don't you think eBay shareholders are CHEATED?

Thanks
Mao Stamps.

Looks Like China stamps are hotter than Gandhi stamps.

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

To me it looks like China stamps are hotter than Gandhi stamps even though 90+ countries issued stamps of Mahatma Gandhi.!!!

Why I am thinking China stamps are hotter, because recently stamps of China worth of $65000+  just stamps (mint or used) were sold on eBay in just 20-30 transactions.!!

There is no first day cover or used covers in this transactions.!! Think what will be the price if there are China stamps used on covers or First day cover from China.!!

Just China Stamps (Mao Stamps) worth of $65000+ !!! This is amazing.!!

It's lot of money when you just compare selling of Mint or Used stamps.!! Also it's just only from China and also it nothing but stamp related to Mao !! whether it's stamp of Directives of Mao or Mao poem stamps or Mao stamps.!!

So I think let's forget about collecting Gandhi stamps and start collecting Mao stamps from China. I think it will be good investment for your future !! (Just kidding!!).

To me stamps are not even for new collectors so forget stamps as an Investment.!!

Following are some REPLICA stamps from China which are also known as FORGERY, but seller is selling as replica and it's is sold at very nominal price so collector can fill the space in their album.

But now looking to following screenshot this Mao stamps (Genuine) are available in plenty so why replica stamps.?

Either it is not very limited like Gandhi Service stamp or Inverted Jenny or they are selling forged stamps as Genuine stamps. I am just assuming or what are possibilities. 

But look at value it is selling for $3500 - $2800 - $2200 - $1600 -$900.... So some body is paying it, and it's good for eBay and PayPal as they are getting high comission from this sale so they are making money.!!

Invest in eBay stock.!!

(Disclosure : I own eBay stock, which I don't intend to sell in 72 hours after posting this blog post.)

Don't you see similar stamps above which are selling for 500 - 100 time less than following.

Do you think following are Genuine stamps? Because sellers has not described as replica or copy or facsimile.

If seller don't mentioned we can assume it's GENUINE.?

Let me make sure I am not expert so this is my personal view or opinion which I am expressing it.

I am no way to able to judge or predict that following are FORGED stamps because seller is not mentioning it.

Now think what will be total transaction on eBay in 2012 just from Mao stamps or China stamps.!! If $65,000 in just 2 months than my assumption is around half million to million dollars.

Do you think it really happened and eBay got commission on all sale, if we don't consider any cheating happened in this sale such as SHILL bidding, withdraw of transaction, non paying buyer or seller has to pay back if stamp got lost and all other unseen circumstances happen in selling.!!!

But your guess is my guess.

So don't you think China stamps are hotter than Gandhi stamps.?

We had seen this in  Gandhi stamp collection, were everyone think they are smarter than other.!!! Don't  you think this apply to other BRITISH INDIA stamp also.

1) Philatelic FAKE and FORGERIES.
2) FAKE AERO PHILATELY Covers.
3) Stamp collection CHEATING.
4) Stamp Collection Value
5) Stamp Collecting Facts
6) China stamp collection value.
7) First AirMail Post
8) World First Flight Cover
9) Greatest Stamp Collection Scandal 
10) Biggest stamp collection SCAM
11) SCANDAL in stamp collection

Directives of Mao's China stamp

 Hello Gandhi Collectors,

In my previous blog I compare Mao and Gandhi forgery stamps.

In this I will compare Mao instructions stamps or Directives of Mao's Tse-Tung stamps used with rubber stamp of China.!!

Following screenshot is from eBay where 5 used china stamps of Directives of Mao's instructions set, looks like  used on cover  was sold for $2325.!!

As you know I am not expert but express my opinion by thinking what are possibilities in philatelic collection.!!!

In my previous blogpost I wrote about this Directives of Mao Tse-Tsung stamps  were sold for $13.!! and here same stamps is selling for $2325!! except it is used stamps.!!

What are chances of this is forgery. i.e. A forged rubber stamp is applied on Mao's stamps? I am just guessing.!! It's possible.!!

We had seen this kind of forged rubber stamps on  Gandhi stamp collection, so it can be done on Mao's stamp too.!!

Also look at the interest in this stamps. There are 45 bids.!!

Do you think all all bids are genuine.!! i.e. no shill bidding happened in this.? Think what are chances and if you don't know read my 10-20 blog post and you will know what is happening to stamp collection hobby.!!

Following is screenshot where 2 set of stamps were sold for $13. Ofcourse it was sold as FORGERY or REPLICA.

Do you think chances of applying rubber stamp on $13 stamps is possible?

Can You can make 2 used stamps set from $13 ?


Following are Forged RUBBER stamp or BOGUS (never exist) applied as cancellation or special cancellation on some of the India stamps related to 1911 First Aerial mail, Governor General of India, 1948 Gandhi First Day Cover.!!

So don't you think it's even more easy to make(or bribe or request someone) just plain circular post office rubber stamp and apply to any stamps.!!

There are more forged rubber stamp used on Gandhi stamps not only from India but also from different countries such as Germany, Great Britain, Nicaragua, Maldives etc. 

Also don't forget the BLUM case from Germany where a dealer or forger has more than 500 rubber stamp who was caught by Germany police.!!

It's very easy to make circular rubber stamp.!!  Nicaragua 100 years of cinema FDC cancellation is Forged.!! You will find similar in all 1998 Gandhi FDC from Africa and South America countries.!!

Now after comparing above Gandhi stamps forgery with rubber stamps as used stamps, what do you think about used Directives of Mao's instructions stamps?

Is it Genuine or Forgery.?!

Looks like it selling for 2000-2500$.!!

eBay is getting lot of commission from this kind of sale.!!! Also PayPal is getting commission from this kind of sale.

Disclosure : So in January 2013 I bought some eBay stock and become partly owner of the company with very minor stake in it.!!

So I can also make some money not in stamps but seller using eBay (partly mine) infrastructure such as servers, application, network, security.!! and paying commission to eBay and PayPal.

After comparing between Gandhi and Mao stamps now I think it's really a very big "Philatelic GAME.!!"

Overprint stamps of China

Hello Gandhi stamp collectors,

I am just comparing Gandhi overprint stamps with Overprint stamps of China.

We all know that Gandhi OVERPRINT stamps are nothing but philatelic fantasy or cinderella stamps just specially  overprint to make money (lot more money) and fool collectors.

But now I am also seeing lot of overprint stamps of China.!! Not only that but it has also overprinted with India money Annas, which were also used on Gandhi stamps.!!

There are other also overprint stamp which are also Forgery (but selling as Replica FAKE).

Looks like Forgery is every where in philatelic.!!

I read that India and China stamp market is booming. Collectors are making tons of money on their investment. 

I read some China stamp collectors made 4 times money in just 4-5 years.!!!

To me it looks like it's a false propaganda to glorify Chinese stamps.!! I had seen this in Gandhi stamps and I am seeing lot of similarities in China stamps.

We have seen lot of FORGERY in Gandhi overprint stamps and other British India overprint stamps with SERVICE, Specimen or ERRORS. Following are some of them.

1) Gandhi inverted SERVICE stamp and King George inverted Service stamps.!!

2) Gandhi Cameroun stamps and  Martin Luther king stamps  overprinted for Apollo Moon Landing.

3) India Gandhi SERVICE stamps

4) Gandhi Specimen stamps from Cyprus, Guyana, Germany

5) Queen Victoria stamps overprint with Indian State Zanzibar with ERROR.!!

6) King George overprint stamp with Patiala state with ERROR.!!

7) Nicaragua Einstein and Gandhi Overprint stamp with overprint of Olympic stamps.!!

Following is example of Cameroun 1968 Gandhi Overprint stamp with 1969 Apollo Moon Landing.!! Biggest overprint stamp Cheating.!!!

Don't you think this is IMPOSSIBLE.!! How some country can overprint on previous year stamp.!!!

All following Overprint stamps of China is Forged. Think what are chances of getting this stamps instead of Genuine stamp which barely exist.!!

I don't know what following Overprint stamps of China are or what even overprint means because it's all Chinese language. except Annas.!!

So beware what are you collecting. As per me all China stamps are RE-PRINTED  to provide the need of collectors and some to glorify it by increasing price so new collectors or investor will think China stamps are appreciating and let's invest in it.

But China stamp collection is worthless as GENUINE stamps are very rarely available because of communist country and think why people need stamps in China as everyone was living same villages for centuries.!!

But it's all glorification by selling for 2000-3000$ for $11000 price for just 5 stamps where as it is available for $15.!!!

1) Mao stamps (set of 5 stamp) selling for $11000.!!
2) PRC china Mao poem stamps (set of 14) sold for $3550!!

If you read above 2 blog post you will understand that it's nothing by glorification of stamps form China,  Mao stamps from China. Same stamps are selling for $10-$15.!!!

So BEWARE what you are collecting and why are you collecting.!!

Read my following blog post to understand about stamp collection in DECLINE.!!

1) A Hobby in Decline : 1948 Gandhi USED cover case study.!!
2) A Hobby in Decline.!! - Part-2
3) How to invest when philately price is dropping.

If you see stamps are not even selling or selling like 5-10 times lower their value than mentioned in catalog.!!

There is nothing RARE or Scare in philately because this hobby is in downward trend because experienced collectors are loosing interest because value is not appreciating and new collectors are not coming in to this because there are lot of other things to do for them such as playing video games on Nintendo or X-box , social networking on facebook or google+ or  surfig on web through internet or SMS through iphone or android or watch games such as cricket, football or basketball.!!

Only way philately can sustain is to stop cheating in this hobby. Yes CHEATING.!! which is what you will see in order to increase value artificially by inflating the price by SHILL bidding, not paying to seller or mutual understanding cancelling transaction and lot more.

To know more about this kind of activity read my following blog post and think what are the possibilities in cheating, glorification, SHILL bidding, FAKE, Forgery etc.

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) 1948 Gandhi Stamps Early Usage cover :  Gandhi Stamps Are False hope of Riches - Part V?
6) Maxi Card sold for $5100 with 1948 Gandhi Stamps - False hope of Riches - Part VI?
7) Indian Philately Exposed 
8) Indian Philately Exposed - Part II
9) Gandhi SERVICE overprint stamp price fell from $1009 to $1.!!
10) How can you tell that Gandhi SERVICE stamp is FAKE or Forgery ?

I hope all the above will help while making decision in investing stamps and to avoid getting CHEATED.!!

Now don't you think it does NOT make sense STAMP INVESTING!!

Thanks

China PRC Poem Mao Tse-Tung stamps

Hello Gandhi stamps collectors,

After 4+ years in Gandhi stamp collection, I am amazed  after comparing Mao stamps  with Gandhi stamps.!!!

It looks like stamp forger, stamp dealers, catalog companies, philatelic blogger(now like me!!), philatelic website, philatelic handbooks etc follow were popularity and money is.!!!

After looking to following set of 14 Mao poem stamps, to me Chairman Mao Tse-Tung, was writing poem as hobby.

I think it's a combination of forger, dealers, catalog companies, bloggers and website operators makes money.!! 

Some makes less money by just selling it quick and some take their time to make money after exhibiting, writing blog and website to glorify stamps by false propaganda  and make a HUGE money out of it.!!!

Also all sale on eBay is not real. i.e  it is not paid. Just bidding only.!! Buyer don't pay to seller and seller complain to eBay so don't have to pay commission.!!

eBay don't take any action on buyer if not paid.!!! They will just disable account or give warning or will not allow to bid.!!

Also price are inflated by SHILL Bidding i.e.  seller bids on his/her own item with other eBay id or friends (gang or cartel) helps them out!!! 

If higher bidder is shill bidder or friends they just mutual withdraw the bid and don't pay money to eBay.!!

This is going in Gandhi stamps and philatelic but now I am certain it will be every where.!!!

Compare following 2 screenshots and you will be surprised the difference in the price. One is selling as Replica or copy stamps or not real where as other is selling as if it is Genuine. I compare both and to me it looks like it similar with nothing difference.!!

So now think why some one will by for $3550 for this stamps.!!! But it's available for $15!!

I know how this works.!!

Read following blog post and you will understand what are the chances.

/indian-philately-exposed-part-ii.html

If you want to know more about CHEATING in Gandhi Philately and stamps collection than please read my blog posts and THINK and COMPARE andy stamp collection.!!

If not pay $15 or $3550!! It's your money and you can spend any way you want.!!

Thanks

Mao stamps

 Hello Gandhi Collectors,

While looking for Gandhi philatelic material I found lot of similarities between Mao stamps from China.!!

Looks like same principle is applied in Mao stamps also.

Following is FORGERY of Mao stamps which is sold as copy, replica, forgery.!! It's nothing wrong to sell forgery so everyone get chances to have that philatelic material at very nominal price.

This same like Gandhi Service 10 Rupees stamps from India.!!

But I was surprised when I saw this stamps Mao stamps selling for $11000.!!! Looks like it's a similar set.!!

Why make a offer also or  pay $11000 as you can get for $13.!!

There are 2 offers for this stamps.!! (Don't we see this kind of activity in Gandhi specimen stamps.!!!)

So it's not only Gandhi stamps collection is glorified but looks like China stamp collection is also glorified !!!

So what do you think when you compare Gandhi stamps and Mao Stamps.!!?
