Recently I saw Fiji O.H.M.S cover or OHMS envelope with slogan cancellation of Mahatma Gandhi Centenary which was sold for $86 by eBay seller "1918romanov".
We know this is nothing but Bogus cancellation (never officially issued by postal department) but still we see it on OHMS cover.!!
This blog post is not prove that this is BOGUS cancellation (as we all know that it's BOGUS or FAKE) on O.H.M.S cover - Fiji OHMS envelope - Slogan Cancellation, but to see how the price is increased to $86.!!
There were 4 bidders who bidded on this item
c***b (4322) ---> last minute bid $86 using sniping tool. (winner)
m***n(446) ---- > bidded from $18 to $85 ( THINK CHEATING).!!
t***e(421) ---- > bidded from $21 to $41
a***d(115) ---- > bidded from $9 to $20
If you see c***b(4322) increase price from $42 to $86 using sniping tool.!!
Do you really think m***n(446) max bid of $85 is genuine?
Now do you think there is some illegal activity in this bidding. ?
Do you think any of them is serious in buying this.?
Do you think all 4 bidders try to increase price and helping to increase price ?
But what is amazing about this that m***n(446) has total 99 Bid RETRACTIONS.!!
This will prove that it's nothing but cheating.!!
Now let's see other O.H.M.S cover - Fiji OHMS envelope during 1969 and 1970.
Majority of the O.H.M.S cover - Fiji OHMS envelope are Register mail.!!
And Gandhi Slogan Cancellation is regular mail.!!
Now compare following two CDS with Gandhi Slogan cancellation CDS.
Both of them don't have any lines after the circular cancellation.!!
Even though one was mailed on 3rd september which was next day after Gandhi Slogan cancellation.!!
Seller might be not aware of cheating as he/she might got it from large quantity which might have this FAKE or BOGUS cancellation.
Following are more O.H.M.S cover - Fiji OHMS envelope and all of them are register mail.
Also did you notice none of them are selling more than $7!!
So what do you think about O.H.M.S cover - Fiji OHMS envelope - Slogan Cancellation.
Do you think CHEATING IS INVOLVED IN THIS O.H.M.S cover - Fiji OHMS envelope - Slogan Cancellation ?
My personal opinion is that CHEATING is involved in this cover.
What do you think ?
Still not sure about BOGUS cancellation then look at the following and then decide.
Also there are rubber stamp with this slogan which stamp collector call commemorative special cancellation or slogan cancellation.
Not sure whether this is officially issued by P&T department of India or personally made by some collectors like we see this all the time.
My personal opinion (Expert Certificate) for this is that is an ART work rubber stamp made by some collector/dealer.
It's very easy to make money by selling this kind of slogan cancellation or special cancellation.
Truth is God slogan cancellation was selling for $16 and $8.
Don't you think this is possible by just investing in RUBBER stamps and start selling it or send it to collector friend who will glorify this rubber stamp as genuine.
So what are chances of this as FORGERY even if it was officially issued.?
Following are mostly all BOGUS (never exist) or Forgery which will help you to decide about slogan cancellation of Gandhi "Truth is God"
1) India 1911 Allahabad First Aerial Mail Post Commemorative cancel or Special cancellation
2) India 1937 Rocket Mail Commemorative cancel or Special cancellation
3) India 1947 Jai Hind Cancellation
4) 1948 Chalta Dak Ghar Commemorative cancel or Special cancellation
5) India 1948 Gandhi stamp First Day cover Jai Hind Commemorative cancel or Special cancellation (Biggest Forgery in stamp collection).
6) 1969 Fiji, Luxembourg, Burma, Czech Republic Commemorative cancel or Special cancellation (wide varieties available)
God know which is Genuine and Which one is forgery !!
God know which of this were even issued officially by postal department ?
Don't you think there are multiple rubber stamps from multiple collectors.!!?
Both of the FIJI Slogan Cancellation is forgery.
