Gandhi SERVICE stamp - Australian bought it ?

As you know my personal opinion about Gandhi SERVICE stamp is FAKE.

As published by several online stamp exhibition, Gandhi Handbook and other blogs, news article and even expert certification from BPA or RPS or someone else about this Gandhi SERVICE stamp I still consider this is a FAKE invention or creation.

Rajagopalachari then served as Governor-General of India from June 1948 until 26 January 1950 and very  led a very simple life in the viceregal palace, washing his own clothes and polishing his own shoes.

Do you think this kind of person will ever involved in following kind of act.?

My personal opinion why Gandhi SERVICE stamp is based on number of following assumption.

• Governer General Raja Gopalachari will never approve this kind of stamps.
• Even if he approved it he will not give it FREE or donate it to anyone.
• Even if he approved he will never print in small quantity.
• He will never write OHMS on his envelope.
• No information about this stamp was available when he was alive.
• Famous Indian stamp collector/philatelist Jal Cooper was selling this stamp even though it was specially made for government use.!! 
• It never displayed or written anywhere in 1948 or 1949 or 1950.!! (Even if it is written it might never came out.!!)
• He was a writer and never wrote in any of his book about this Gandhi SERVICE stamp.

So what do you think about my assumption ?

Does it make sense with my personal opinion. ?

So why in the hell Australian investor wants to remain in Mystery after spending $850,000.!!

So I am curious whether this transaction really happened or just publicity? We will not figured out unless someone comes up openly about buyer and seller like Bill Gross did for his famous 2 millon dollar purchase.!!

But it will be impossible.!!

But this is great news for Austrailian government as they will be benefit from this by getting GST on Gandhi SERVICE stamp.

US Bond trader Bill Gross spend 2 million on one of the rear stamp and donate it to National Philatelic Museum in Washington.

Forgery philatelic material - Making money on eBay.

Forgery philatelic material is very easy to make. 

Make a rubber stamp and apply it on any old cover/envelope or postcard or folder etc and Unique, Rare philatelic material is ready.

Recently India 1948 Gandhi stamps folder with special cancellation (rubber stamp) was sold for 15000 rupees.

Even seller mentioned it may be forged cancellation !!

Not sure about Forgery stamps was on the folder but most likely it will be forged stamps as large quantity of forgery stamps of 1948 Gandhi stamps available from India.

It will be very hard to some buy stamps valued Rupees 10 in 1948.

Because Rupees 10 was too much at that time. 10gm Gold was selling for Rupees 80 in 1948.

So do you think someone will invest in piece of paper during that time. 

Even though it was mentioned as "May be forged cancellation" someone bought it for 15000 rupees.!!

If you count all the expense then seller got good money out of it.

You need to reduce expense like

• GST is mandatory on ebay selling and buying.
• ebay commission
• Paypal fees
• Indian Capital Gain Tax or income tax
• State tax 
• Shipping and handing 

So don't you think seller made money on this forgery philatelic material.!!

Thanks

FAKE or Forgery Gandhi stamps - Bombay Stock Exchange.

Recently I saw 1948 Gandhi stamp FDC send locally in Bombay sold for $543 by ebay seller "the.postal.history.paradise" from Romania.

1948 Gandhi stamps where issued on 15th August 1948 which was Sunday.!!

But this Gandhi FDC has CDS from Bombay Stock Exchange on Sunday. 

So what do you think. It's FAKE or FORGERY ?

FAKE - never exist

FORGERY - duplicate of existing material.

To me it looks like FAKE because stock market don't open on Sunday and specially if there is any post office it will not open on Sunday.

Any 1948 Gandhi stamps philatelic material with CDS other than special cancellation from Bombay, Calucutta, Madras and Delhi are FAKE.

But there are lot of Forgeries with special cancellation from Bombay, Calcutta, Madras and Delhi so Beware what you . are collecting.
