Nicaragua Gandhi Einstein Stamp : Is it really OVERPRINT Gandhi stamp ? which can be consider as Gandhi Einsetin ERROR stamp ?

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

Nicaragua 1980 Gandhi and Einstein stamp/miniature sheet is one of the most error stamp with incorrect issue year, Overprint in gold and red available in the market. 

This Overprint stamp is for wide range of collectors ( Gandhi, Einstein, Error, Overprint, Olympics, UN, Science, Physics etc) so it can be appreciated more.!! 

Please read my previous blog post so you know what's going on Nicaragua Gandhi Stamps which will give you good idea about it.

Nicaragua Gandhi Einstein 1980 miniature sheet FDC - Is it really ERROR?

To me it make sense to have error but to have that error stamp on FDC does not make sense at all because error stamp will not make it to FDC.

I think because of smaller country outsource there stamp printing to dealers which do all kind of different things for all of us and we will dream to get it at cheaper price.!! without thinking that whether it makes sense or not.

To me this OVERPRINT stamp does not make sense at all because error will happen to one or two sheets not all and if error happens printers will destroy that rare error stamp unless they hide it and take it with them and after 40-50 years it will come in market.!!!

Now look at the following FDC. I am not sure whether this was officially issued or just made specially to make money out of it.

Buyer : www_stampfromindia_com

According to me this is nothing put piece of paper!! I don't consider this as REAL overprint stamp which can be consider as ERROR stamp so forget about FDC at all.

Want to know more about Gandhi Overprint stamps then please read my past blog posts about Overprint stamps which will make you think before you buy any of overprint stamps.

Why Cameroun Commerically Used Covers is costly? -Gandhi stamps overprinting.

Hello Gandhi collectors,

Recently (Feb 1st 2010) on ebay 2 commercially used covers were sold at very high price. This cover has Gandhi Overprint stamp from Cameroun which was issued in 1969 to celebrate landing on moon.

How can someone are so dumb/foolish who will overprint on this stamps. It cannot be consider as ERROR stamp (but biggest SCAM).

Following cover was sold for $250+ (US dollars) with John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy stamps with Gandhi stamps (one in front and other in  back).

Seller :- gorfa (Canada)
Buyer :-  bipin8 ( now speedbird1*) (UK)
Sold :- $256

I am not sure why they did this overprinting instead of making a new stamp?

Following cover also surpassed price paid for any Gandhi commercially used cover which was sold for $300+ (US dollars) also from Cameroun 1968 Gandhi(without overprint) stamp.

I lost this cover even though I bidded $301!!! Yes $301.!! I am glad that I lost this bid. Otherwise I will regret all my life.!!! Because it does not make sense.!!

I was new in Gandhi collection so I was not aware of all kinds of thing happening in Gandhi stamp collection.!!!

Seller : rlingen (Canada)
Buyer : nil101 (Germany)
Sold for $306

In my 16 months in this field this is most expensive commercially used Gandhi cover I had seen except 1948 India Gandhi commerically used covers with 10 Rupees stamp.

Following cover was sold for $450+ (US dollars) with Martin Luther King(one in front and other in  back)  stamps with Gandhi stamps in front.

Seller : gorfa (canada)
Buyer : nil101 (Germany)
Sold : $456.

Both covers has postmark cancel from sending and receiving countries. Also receiving country is USA where there are more stricter laws against postal fraud.

According to seller this registered mail cover was send from Yaounde to New York City. This first day covers were sent to J. & H. Stolow in New York City, perhaps the most important wholesale, new issue stamp dealers of their time. Either they arranged for a quantity of these to be produced, or the official in the post office sent these as samples to introduce an obviously multi-faceted topical philatelic production!

You can read my previous blog post about Overprint Gandhi stamps where I mentioned about J & H Stolow and overprint stamp which is itself a topic of further study.

Compare above cancellation on cover with following stamps and do more research.!!

Now my questions why this much money is paid for this kind of cover as they are made just to make profit at later dates (after 40 years!!) even though it does not make sense that this are indeed ERROR (overprint) stamps.

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks
