Mauritius TRANSIT DE VÉNUS Commemorative cover with extra stamp dated 8 June 2004 is selling for $380 by eBay seller "theobargain" .!!
It's nothing but to make money by creating unique philatelic material by using rubber stamps.
My personal opinion about this Mauritius TRANSIT DE VÉNUS Commemorative cover with extra stamp like FORGERY because
1) It's from Mauritius.!!
2) CDS (cancellation date stamp) looks FORGERY.
3) Time difference between two CDS is impossible.!! (It take 90 minutes to fly between Port Louis and Rodrigues (It's two different Island)!! and on top of all that security, postal administration timing etc.!!)
Gandhi Stamp Collectors are very well aware of that most of the FDC (with extra stamp) or used stamp cover or register cover from Mauritius is FORGERY.
They are well aware of that RUBBER stamp is very easy to make or steal or get it by bribery.!!
Gandhi stamp collectors knows that it's easy way to make money by creating rubber stamp and apply on any envelope and cancel with forged rubber stamp.!!
In past we had seen lot of forgery used cover from Mauritius and following are some of them. (Make sure you click and read following blog post so you understand CHEATING in stamp collection. This might be in any stamp collection item so BEWARE.!!)
In past I saw SHILL bidding was done in order to increase price, but recently they moved to fixed price.!!
You can see from above link who are the SHILL bidders.!!
Not sure how this CDS is possible.
Port Louis CDS is at 9:00 AM ( 9. - AM). ( Forgery already exist).
Rodrigues CDS is at 915 AM or 9.5 AM ?? (New Forgery discover)
Time difference between two CDS is impossible.!! (It take 90 minutes to fly between Port Louis and Rodrigues (It's two different Island)!! and on top of all that security, postal administration timing etc.!!)
So if you see CDS its 9:00 AM from Port Louis & 9:15 from Port Mathurin, Rodrigues. (LOL).
Does this make sense.?
Even airport from Port Mathurin is 20KM away.!!
Sir Gaëtan Duval (Plaine Corail) Airport (RRG), Plaine Corail, Mauritius
So how all this things were done in 15 minutes.!!
Only by CHEATING.!!

Now you are on your own what you need for your collection and what kind of pocket you have and what kind of collector you are.!!
This is a common practice in philately world where mint stamps are less worth then philatelic material. So don't just jump in to collection of philatelic material because you 90% of Gandhi Philatelic material is questionable as chances are more for FAKE/FORGERY.
So what do you think about "Transit of Venus in Rodrigues and Mauritius" - Commemorative cover with extra stamp.
Don't you think it's FORGERY ?
Don't you think it's to get your money by just providing 4 stamps and get $380!!
Thanks

BTW : It was also selling on delcampe for 175 pound.!!
