1948 India Gandhi Stamp collection research expertising. Investment in stamp collection ?

Following are some of the expensive Gandhi stamps material sold on eBay.

This is for your research before you buy any 1948 Gandhi stamps from India as a stamp investment or as alternative investment other than gold or share/stock or real estate property.

1) Are this genuine 1948 Gandhi stamps on the cover ?

2) Are this genuine Jai Hind special cancellation issued on 15 August 1948 ?(or rubber stamp)

3) Are this genuine CDS (cancellation date stamp) on the cover ?

4) Do you think this are really travelled to destination ?

5) Do you think this are really sold on eBay for this much money ?

6) Do you think eBay as well as PayPal got commission from this transaction?

7) Do you think local government got tax from this selling ?

8) Do you think any government got capital gain tax from this collectible item selling ?

9) and you need to come up with another 92 before you decide !!!

Please read my 700+ blog on Gandhi stamps and you have to decide because it's your money you will be investing.!

But my personal opinion (my certificate of stamp expertise) is all of this is FAKE or Forgery.!! It's my personal opinion as everyone opinion differ.

But my opinion is free not like BPA or RPLS where they charge money and they don't take any responsibility or liability even after issuing certificate.

What is stamp Expertising or stamp authentication?

Above eBay 8-9 transaction are $10000.!! for piece of paper.!!

Do you really think some one is spending this kind of money on 1948 India Gandhi stamp collection or philatelic hobby.

No one is collecting anything right now as no one has time because of lot of other activities in the world such as surfing on internet, watching Netflix or youtube or social media like facebook or tiktok or even watching TV and Movies and on top of that people are watching cricket or soccer or other sports.

But someone is buying it as per this transaction which is good for ebay(get commission 10%) and paypal (2-3%) and California and USA Federal Tax from capital gain tax on collectible items  or seller's country from where they are selling.

Also buyer country residence will get local tax where buyer reside as eBay as to collect tax.!!

Do you think all of them are getting money from this.? To me it will be about $2000 to $4000 depending on countries.

It's hard to tell as majority of stamp collection transaction are fake (never processed through) as buyer do SHILL bidding (bidding with other id) or friend will buy it for them and they cancel transaction.!!

But if you see on eBay there are lot of Gandhi stamps are sold and currently available.!!

And you might be thinking this selling price is genuine.?

So do your research as it's very easy to make this kind of postal cover as it only required some old postal envelope and rubber stamps.!!

Very easy way to make money on eBay or any other live auction or online auction by famous auction house.

So think before you invest in stamp.!!

I will never invest in stamp as alternative investment as there is no law or legal entity control's it.

Also there are very few investor to buy.

So stick with Gold or Share/Stocks or Real estate property.!!

Again it's your money.!!! so you can burn how ever you want to burn.

Scinde Dawk - Asia first stamp - Stamp Expert Certificate - Is it forgery stamp or never issued.

Scinde Dawk 1852 stamps from India was sold for $1025 by eBay seller "lunar_nj" from India and item location in Kansas, USA.

Not sure where seller will pay capital gain tax ?

Because seller is based in India and item location in USA.

Need to pay too lot of capital gain tax on this item as it was sold for $1025.

But my question is this all real.?

All means

• Embossed Scinde Dawk is genuine stamp ? (any one can make this kind of embossed stamp and start applying on old paper)
• Do you think after 167+ years this kind of thing still available in plenty. ( I had seen more than 200 on eBay alone in last 9 years).
• Do you think this is genuine transaction where eBay seller paid all commission to eBay?
• Do you think eBay seller paid all state tax (kansas) and federal tax to IRS ?
• Do you think this stamp Expert certificate as any value? (anyone can issue Expert Certificate as no licenses or education required.!!)
• Do people were using stamps 167+ years ago.? (Think how far your relatives were living at that time.!!)
• Do you think it was never issued.? ( do you think it was required in India or Pakistan when it was under British rule).
• Do you think piece of paper will still remain intact after 167+ years ago? (think about weather, all different wars in that region and other things happened in 167 years. Do you have your first standard marksheet?)
• Do people collect stamp anymore? 
• Do you think 43 bids are genuine?
• One bidder is bidding on 832 items and 5721 bids? ( can you believe that.!)
• Do you think SHILL bidding is done to increase price?

After reading all of the above Will you pay $1025 for this kind piece of paper ?

Want to do more research  then click following link to read about Scinde Dawk.

2 months ago Scinde Dawk with Stamp Expert Certificate from RPSL Ltd was sold for $999 by "invest-and-collect" from UK with only one bid.!!

Why only one bid and less price then "lunar_nj"

Do you think this stamps are Investment ?

Do you think it's invest and collect item?

Above screenshot is about bidder who is bidding on Scinde Dawk but also bidding on another 832 items on eBay with 5721 bids.!!


What do you think about this bidder ?

Is it SHILL bidding ?

Queen Victoria stamp - David Brandon Expert Certificate - UK capital gain tax on stamp collection.

Recently I saw 1895 Indian stamp of Queen Victoria stamp  with overprint British East Africa - 1895-96 O/P Type 9 on QV 3r (rupees) stamp sold for $3048.!!

We know how easy is to make overprint stamp and claim it is unique and rare.

We know forgery and BOGUS (never exist) stamp are made with overprint and try to cheat seller.

Click following is BOGUS stamp which was sold for $225000.with expert certificate.!!  (It's a common practice in stamp collection.!!)

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2011/01/expensive-gandhi-stamp.html

But this  Indian stamp of Queen Victoria stamp with overprint British East Africa - 1895-96 O/P Type 9 on QV 3r (rupees) stamp sold for $3048 by seller "stampedia" from UK.

It's good for UK government as they will get CAPITAL GAIN TAX from this stamp. (20-30%)

Also UK government will get VAT from this  Queen Victoria stamp with overprint British East Africa - 1895-96. (15-20%)

Also new eBay stock investor will see this as potential oppurntuity to buy eBay stock/shares, because eBay will get 10% from this transaction.!!

Also PayPal will get 2-3% if it was used to complete transaction.!!

So lot of money is flowing from this one stamp to all of them including seller who will get 50% after all the commission to eBay, Capital GAIN tax and VAT.

you decide whether this is genuine or forgery or bogus by
looking margin on sides, type of overprint etc.

Do you think all of them (UK treasury, UK VAT dept, eBay) got money from this sale of QV stamp ?

or

Buyer did not paid and seller cancel transaction.?

So we are not sure.

But you and me are thinking QV stamp sold for $3000.!!

You and me are thinking QV stamp with overprint British East Africa is rare stamp.!!

Ebay shareholders are thinking their stock is good investment because it's getting lot of money from this kind of transaction.!!

Some rich people will be motivated by stamp dealer to invest in stamps by showing this.!!

Some blog writer, newspaper will make it more famous after looking this QV stamps sold for $3000.!!

Also seller has to pay for this David Brandon Expert Certificate so seller can make sure to buyer it's Genuine.

Seller can avoid paying to David Brandon Expert Committe by creating new expert committe of his own.!!

Yes any one can give expert certificate. No formal education or degree needed to give Expert Certificate. Also there is no university who give education for Expertising stamp.!!

Also you need to make sure that there are lot of forgery expert certificate or BOGUS expert certificate is available in market.

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.

2) 1948 Gandhi Stamps: Are False hope of Riches - Part II ?

Stamp Expertizing - Expertising Certificate.

Now I am issuing stamp expertising certificate because lot of money is involved in issuing this piece of paper as I don't have to take any liability or responsibility.

Following is my website(it's blog) if you want to stamp expertizing or Expertising Certificate. 

http://uspaexpertising.blogspot.com/  

Currently wait time is about 5 years.!! 

Stamp Expertising Expertizing certificate is nothing but piece of paper were philatelic expert (like me) will give their opinion about stamps without taking any responsibility of forgery or fake or bogus.

I called it piece of paper but experienced stamp collectors and dealers called it as Stamp Expertising Certificate.!!

What is stamp Expertization ?

"Neither the Company nor the members of the Expert Committee can accept any liability, either collective or individual, for any opinion expressed."

Does this make sense to you to get stamp Expertising Expertizing Certificate.

To me any Expert Certificate or Stamp Expertizing does not add any value, because it looks like any one can give their opinion and call piece of paper as Expertising Certificate.

In past I wrote about stamp expertising certificate. Click to read about it.

Stamp Expertizing : B.P.A Expertising - BPA expertising Limited - BPA stamp certificate : WHAT is Stamp Expertization ?

Sergio Sismondo : Stamp Expertising Certificate - A Philatelic JOKE.!

To become stamp Expert or to issue Expertising Certificate it's very easy. Just start it as don't need any of the following.

• You don't need any college degree or certification or license from government.
• There are no rules or law in stamp expertising certificate which needs to be followed and there is no overseeing authority who can revoke you as stamp expert or philatelic expert.
• Even to open a store or company it require permit from local authority and they do all kind of inspection, background check etc. You don't need when you start issuing expertising certificate. 
• It don't require physical address also as website is only requirement to become philatelic expert.
• It's not even printed in with some special ink or paper or logos or watermark.

As there is no qualification needed I started my own stamp Expertizing Certificate. I just need to do following to make money.!!

1) Take a domain name on internet. (USPA Expertising Inc.) 

2) Print on and start giving certificate and make money .!!

I am thinking  to provided piece of paper as USPA Expertising Incorporated. Let me know if you need it.!!

Disclosure : I am not doing any stamp expertising but I just want to bring everyone attention how is it is .!! So please don't contact me or send me anything.!!

I am not even going to spend money on creating website just make it available through blog.!! even though domain name is available.!!  

Following will be my first Expertising Certificate.!!

I know it's Forgery (Bogus) but I am issuing as GENUINE because I can give any opinion what ever I want to give.!!

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2010/01/fake-gandhi-postmark-cancel-from.html

Want to verify address on this cover. I can do it with extra $10000 as I have to travel there.

So this is a tale of Expertising Certificate.

Also thinking to write a philatelic handbook and become a world renowned author of Gandhi Stamps, so I can write incorrect information in it and so all collectors/dealers can sell their forged items.!!

(They just have to give me one free for printing in the philatelic handbook or yearbook.!!)

My goal is to make money so I will issue piece of paper and all experienced collector will display it in exhibit  and try to sell that items.

So make sure what you buying it or even reading it.

Do you think Expertising Certificate has any value.?

I don't think so because Expertising Certificate don't take any responsibility. It's just opinion.!!

How about philatelic handbook ?

It's one way to glorify forged items.!!
