GANDHI STAMPS CLUB

Exposing illegal activities by investigating what's happening in Gandhi Stamps. I don't want any other stamp collector to get cheated ever like I was cheated because there was no blog, website or book which gives you reality about Forgery, Fake, Shill bidding and correct pricing in Gandhi Stamps and Philately. Think this blog as GANDHI STAMPS NEWSPAPER. No Profit or NON PROFIT approach without trying to sell anything or no advertisement and expressing my freedom of speech.

Topical stamps collection register cover - How to make philatelic material to win stamp exhibition medal.!!

We all know after my 500+ blog post that stamp collection or philatelic material is nothing but to make money from new collector who have no idea about what's going on.

Recently I saw eBay seller "philventure98" selling Topical stamps collection register cover with Gandhi stamps from Mauritius and Somalia mailed to same address in UK in 1969.

This Topical stamps collection register cover were sold for $26 and $50. If you think it's lot of money if you compare with selling price of stamps.

So instead of selling just stamps if you make rubber stamp and apply any cover you can make 10 times more money by selling Topical stamps collection register cover.!!

Most of the time no one wants to collect just mint stamps so it's easier to sell any Topical stamps collection register cover also.!!

Let see following 2 Topical stamps collection register covers from Mauritius and Somalia.

In past I wrote multiple blog post about Mauritus FORGERY cover so stay away from any Mauritius dual/combo cancellation with 2001 Gandhi stamp and 1969 Centenary of Gandhi birth anniversary stamps, or even any Mauritius philatelic material, because it's nothing but Forgery or BOGUS.

It will be very hard to sort out forgeries and bogus philatelic material in Gandhi thematic collection because it's spread all around same way like other British India philatelic material of King George stamps, King Edward stamps, First Aerial Mail from Allahabad etc.

Also SHILL bidding is way to increase the price.not only in Mauritius Gandhi stamp philatelic material, but also any other philatelic material when price is more than $5.!!

Following is Centenary of Gandhi's visit to Mauritius (1901-2001) FDC with combo of 1969 Mauritius Gandhi stamp with some other stamp which is selling for $78 starting price.!!

It's a great way to make money instead of just selling regular FDC which are available in large quantity. If this was without combo it might sold for $1 or $2 or there might be no buyer.!!!

So in order to make money collectors/dealers will try to come up with idea to make dual combo so to make it rare they will make forgery of rubber stamp of some post office and apply it on FDC.

I can only think dual/combo FDC genuine if there is a special cancellation which is applied on FDC, but still there are chance of both might have forgery.

Following are genuine combo FDC which has special cancellation along with original stamp issued on first day of issue. Both stamp is embossed together with special cancellation issued on same date.

Now do you think this Mauritius stamps Gandhi FDC make sense. It's nothing but forgery.!!

Read following blog posts regarding Mauritius Gandhi stamps and understand what are you buying, how shill bidding is happening etc.

Forgery stamps collection - FAKE stamps

It's nothing new in stamp collection were forgery stamps are selling as genuine.

Not only that even BOGUS (never exist) stamps or philatelic material is selling on eBay.!!

Even BOGUS error stamps are selling so it's nothing new.!!

What do you think about following VENEZUELA stamps ?

Is it Genuine or Forgery ?

My personal opinion is it's FORGERY. (you don't have to believe me as I am just expressing my view or personal opinion, same way like expert certificate.!!).

So Beware of GANDHI stamps before you buy.!!! It's up to you to decide whether this is genuine or forgery.!!

Following are some of the famous Gandhi forgery or Bogus stamps/philatelic material available in market.!!

Stamp Investment is nothing but artificial created by some investment manager or broker with help of auction houses, stamp dealers and stamp collectors.

At first everyone wants to collect stamp and become stamp collector and exhibit stamps in order to win some medals but greed makes them to get involved in making money and that's lot of it.!!

So stamp collector will work with other dealers to exhibit FORGED stamps or Bogus philatelic material in world level exhibition so they can glorify philatelic material which has no value.

This stamp collector is now famous and will call other Politician and well respected person in society to inaugurate stamp exhibition or special events in order to market stamps.!!

But Greed of this stamp collector increases, so now this stamp collector will involved in Cheating and start selling stamps and become dealer.!!!

Now this dealer (collector) will join world wide stamp seller CARTEL (other dealers) and involved in fake bidding, shill bidding and all kind of illegal activities in order to increase price so they can make more money.!!

Now stamp dealer (collector) will work with yearbook writer, philatelic magazine and stamp and philatelic Handbook author to write about this FORGED and Bogus philatelic material.

Sometimes this stamp collector turns dealer will also become author of Philatelic and Stamp Handbooks. Also will write blogs or website or online stamp exhibit related to philatelic stamp collection in order to glorifying and provide false information.!!!

Some times this world famous collector/exhibitor/dealer/author will also donate FORGED philatelic stamps material to philatelic museum or charity in order to gain popularity.!!

Also they will get Expertising Certificate from some unknown or fake expert or forged it!! Or they will create their own expertising company.!! (click this link to read more about stamp expertising)

Now this dealer will work with auction houses around the world to sell this BOGUS philatelic material for thousands of dollars.!!!

Now fund manager will advise you to invest in stamps and they earn money too.!!

This is what stamp investment is.!!!

It's an ART OF MAKING MONEY.!!

Do you want to still INVEST in STAMPS or PHILATELIC material ??

Good Luck and Wish all the best for collecting piece of paper.!!

Now let's see following example of 1902 India King Edward VII stamp. This is 25 Rupees stamp issued in 1902 by British India. It was lot of money 113 years ago so no one will have to use this stamp except your are in Royal family so some high government post.

This used stamp was sold for $676 by eBay seller "worldstamp22" from Belgium.

But what are chances of this used stamp FORGERY stamps with forged rubber stamp applied on the stamps.!!

Following are FORGERY or REPLICA stamps which are available in plenty so it's just getting to make forged rubber stamp which can be made easily.!!

Following are FAMOUS FORGERY RUBBER STAMPS USED in PHILATELIC and STAMP COLLECTION so it's not hard to make any regular rubber stamp.
