King George VI stamp and Gandhi SERVICE stamp used on piece of paper. Is it FORGERY of Indian Government Service?

Hello Gandhi Philatelist,

In past I wrote extensively about Gandhi SERVICE stamp in my blog. To understand this blog post please click following so you can figured out what's going on in Gandhi 1948 SERVICE stamps as well as 1948 Gandhi Stamps from India.

Gandhi Service stamp : How one can tell it's REAL or FAKE overprint stamp

1911 First Aerial Post and Gandhi SERVICE stamp on piece of paper.!!

1948 Gandhi Facsimile stamp including Gandhi SERVICE stamp
Maryland Forgery
FAKE 10 Rs. SERVICE stamp price $1009 to $1 in just 4 months?

After reading above blog post you are aware that Gandhi SERVICE stamp with Governor General PO is very hard to find on used cover as well as piece on paper.!! and FORGERY is available in large quantity.!! (Thanks to Mr. Ashok Bayanwala for writing article about this and Thanks to Mr. Jinghan for exhibiting on Stamps of India website)

Following is the large quantity(very rare!!) currently for sale!! In past 6 months I had seen more than 30 for sale!!

Out of which I found interesting. I saw two Gandhi SERVICE stamps with KGVI on a piece of paper with Governor General Camp P.O. (Click this link to see it on delcampe) and it's starting price is 3000 Euros.!!!

Yes 3000 Euros.!!!

But I noticed that date of cancellation on that piece of paper is 15 May 1949 which was SUNDAY.

* Do any one know Governor General was working on SUNDAY in 1949 ?

* Do any one know Governor office (post office / camp p.o) was open on SUNDAY in 1949?

* How can you tell that this piece of paper is from Offical Cover as it is mentioned in description.?

* Did you notice that King George Stamp is regular stamp ? SERVICE overprint is missing? Is it Error.!! (No there was also regular stamps of King George.!!)

* Don't you think collector or receiver or maker of this piece on paper don't know the value of this.!!! You can see 1 or 2 or 3 on piece of paper but not 30+ in last 2-3 months.

* Don't you think it's easy to make this kind of rubber stamp?

What do you think about this Gandhi SERVICE stamp with Governor General PO date stamp?

FAKE or FORGED ?

I think your guess will be mine.!!

We all had seen FAKE stamp of 1948 India GANDHI SERVICE for all kind of value!!

So now do you think it's above Governor-General cancellation GENUINE ? or FAKE (just piece of paper) ?

This is how to make money in Philatelic.!! Use Mint stamps worth $5 and make $4000!! by creating this kind of material.!!

So BEWARE in Gandhi Philately as well as all other British India Philately.!!

We had seen this in Gandhi stamp collection, were everyone think they are smarter than other.!!! Do you think this apply to other BRITISH INDIA stamp also.

A HOBBY IN DECLINE

Hello Gandhi Philatelist,

Of course there is a huge decline not only in stamp collection hobby but also all kind of hobby such as mineral collection, match box collection, coin collection, baseball card collection etc.

Is it REAL value or DECLINE in 1948 Gandhi stamp collection hobby.!!

After long time I am seeing low pricing (REAL PRICE without any shill bidding or falsely inflated) on 1948 Gandhi stamp used on airmail cover. Above cover with 12 annas Gandhi stamp and 3 two annas King George VII stamp on cover mailed to New York was sold only for $12.50.!!!!

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p4340.l2565&rt=nc&item=350582657536

I cannot believe this was sold for $12.50 after seeing current auction of 1948 Gandhi stamp on used cover selling for very high inflated price.

According to me this is a real value of 1948 Gandhi cover. But what amazed me that only 3 bidders and 3 bids to complete this auction instead of what we used to see 40+ bids and 10+ bidders.!!!

Please read following series of my blog post to understand what is going on stamp collecting world specially in Indian Philatelic material with 1948 Gandhi stamps.

1) 1948 Stamps False hope of Riches?
2) 1948 Gandhi Stamps: Are False hope of Riches - Part II ?
3) 1948 Gandhi Mourning Private FDC : Are False hope of Riches - Part III?
4) 1948 Expensive Gandhi FDC : Are False hope of Riches - Part IV?
5) 1948 Gandhi Stamps Early Usage cover : Gandhi Stamps Are False hope of Riches - Part V?
6) Maxi Card sold for $5100 with 1948 Gandhi Stamps - False hope of Riches - Part VI?
7) Indian Philately Exposed
8) Indian Philately Exposed - Part II
9) First Aerial Post - Indian Philately Exposed - Part III
10) 1911 First Aerial Post - Allahabad - Indian Philately Exposed - Part IV

After reading all of the above blog post in which very very high price was paid for 1948 Gandhi stamps cover and falsely inflated price, don't you think this cover was sold at very low price.?

But I think this is the real price as very less collectors are involved in collecting 1948 Gandhi stamps. Also now new collectors are getting into this hobby, but there is a huge push to create a glorification of 1948 Gandhi stamps from India on FDC as well as used on cover.

Please read following external blog post to understand in detail about stamp collection as well as other collectibles and think what's going on in hobby world.

Looks like both are great blog post.

India 10 Rupees Mahatma Gandhi Service postage stamp

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

As all of you might know that 10 Rupees 1948 India Gandhi stamp with overprint SERVICE is one of the least printed (reprinted) stamp in the world.

A set of stamps over-printed as "Service" was issued to the Government of India for official purposes. Only 100 Mahatama Gandhi 10 Rs. stamps were overprinted with "Service" and issued for the use of C. Rajagopalachari, the Governor General of India, making it the world's least printed stamp.[ Of the hundred stamps that were overprinted with "Service", a few were gifted to dignitaries (Do anyone know who were this dignitaries), while most remain at the National Archives, Postal Museums, etc.

Also it is one (between 10-20) of the most expensive stamp in the world.!! So what when price of philatelic material goes up everyone wants to get rich.!!!So there was a forgery of this stamp too.!!
This forgeries are available for more than 10+ years and known as "Marvelous Maryland" because it was printed in Maryland, USA. It is categorized as "The ORIGINAL Maryland Forgery"!!!

Original in Forgery.!! (Not knew that there is original also in forgery too.!!)

Following is the forgery of that stamp which is known as Maryland Forgery. But I was surprised when this was sold for $455 with 51 bids on it.!!! Do you think forgery happen in this transaction also.?!!

Seller is in Australia and item shipped from international location.!!! (Are they business seller or helping someone or multiple account and multiple international location.!!)

Do you actual think this is genuine transaction with commission paid to ebay and also to paypal.?!!

You can see this at ebay for next 2 months by clicking following URL.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200747019544

You can figure out from my past blog post who the buyer is.!! (hint : [(d***i)(189)]) I don't think this is actual purchase as I don't see any feedback on ebay.!!

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p4340.l2565&rt=nc&item=200747019544

If you cannot find buyer then my advice is please quit Gandhi Philately as it will be very hard for you to survive in this Forgery Gandhi Philately World.!!

I am not sure why this much price as this forgery stamp (even with side) is available for less than $10.!! on delcampe and ebay. Following is the screenshot.

So I am not sure why buyers wants to pay $450!!

To me only difference is seller. One has less than 300 feedback from Australia were as other has more that 3300 feedback from Germany.!!

Read my previous blog post about Gandhi SERVICE stamp: Is it Real or FAKE ?

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/04/gandhi-service-stamp-how-one-can-tell.html

So now you need to decide what's happening in 1948 Gandhi Stamps.!!

This kind of things are happening in almost each and every 1948 high value 1948 India Gandhi FDC/Used Covers.!! So take care. You are on your own.!!

Again thanks for reading and please share your thoughts in the comments section or you can email me at ketankumar@gmail.com.
