DOES ANY ONE COLLECT STAMPS? - GANDHI CENSORED COVER TO GERMANY

Recently I saw India 1948 Gandhi stamps on censored cover to Germany sold for $3383 by ebay seller  "Krabinay" from Germany.

Do you think this is genuine or real value of this censored cover ?

Do you think this is genuine cover  or just some one made it up on some old envelope by putting rubber stamp (CDS).?

Do you think there was SHILL bidding ? You can see 16 bidders were interested in this cover with 41 bids.!?

Now forget about real or fake cover and let's think this is genuine transaction on eBay.


Do you think eBay got commission on this transaction ? It's about $300+

Do you think PayPal was used in this transaction and they got commission about $10.!!

Do you think VAT was paid as per European Union law on this transaction. ? It's about 20%.!! which comes out to be $600+.

Also how about any income tax as per Germany rules and regulation?


Don't you think it's very hard to find out all this information so we will never know the REAL value of this kind of covers.

On top of that DOES ANY ONE COLLECT STAMPS?

Before looking this kind of price and start investing think first other wise you will regret.

I will not pay even $5 for this cover because to me it all looks FAKE as no one would spend that much money for any regular cover in 1948.!!

Also no SENDER info.!!

So Beware.

It's easy to make this kind of philately material.

Just look for old envelope with address in some stamp exhibition with local stamp dealer and you will envelope with address

It's easy to make rubber stamp or someone has old stolen one.!!

Now buy that cover and  affix Gandhi stamps and put that rubber stamp.!!

You can make money !!

$3300.!!

If this is bought by some new collector.!!

Experienced collector knows all this tricks.!!

International Day of Non-Violence - Making money on eBay by selling stamps.

United Nations declared 2 October as The International Day of Non-Violence, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the Indian independence movement and pioneer of the philosophy and strategy of non-violence.

But greedy collectors/dealers are making their living by selling BOGUS (never exist) Gandhi Philatelic material on this day.

So BEWARE if you are collecting special cancellation  on First Day of Cover or special event cover because it's very easy to make and start selling stamps on eBay.!

• Make rubber stamp
• Tell blog authors or weekly/monthly philatelic newsletter to publish that it's  this town is coming up with this cancellation
• Write about it in stamps forum about this cancellation.
• Send to some famous award winning stamp collectors/philatelist as gift so they will exhibit in their stamp exhibition or private display during some events.
• Also send this cover with cancellation who helped  you to make it famous by advertising on their blog/newsletter.
• Now start selling on eBay.
• Increase price by SHILL bidding (Cancel bid if you win by complaining eBay that buyer did not pay, so you don't have to pay commission.)
• Now send it to Handbook authors and Museum as gift so it's more famous.!!

Following is one of the example where some group of collectors from Germany/ India/UK/USA are making money by doing this kind of activity.

If this was not caught in 2010 it might be glorified in Gandhi stamps and Philatelic  HANDBOOK or stamp exhibition or online exhibit as genuine and rare.!!!

So beware what you read or see online or also in various philatelic magazine or even in philatelic museum.

This rubber stamp is currently selling for $60 on eBay seller "ashokmehta1955" from India and member since 2001.!!

Don't you think it's easy to make money on eBay by selling stamps.!!!

It's free to open account so you can open eBay account as many as you want, so BEWARE of it. It's a CARTEL working on this from different countries where they help each other to ship their philatelic gems.!!

Click following link if you want this Philatelic GEM of Gandhi for just $60 (3800 Indian Rupees).!!. It's still available so grab before it run's out of your hand.!!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Germany-2009-Gandhi-Cancel-Cover-Extremely-Rare-/110879169117?hash=item19d0e9da5d

It's lot of money even if you can sell one of this.!!

So avoid collecting rubber stamps on First Day Cover or Special events cover such as Birthday or Anniversary of Gandhi because it's nothing but forgery unless it's issued by government with proper proof.

Stamp Collectors/dealers will go to any extent to make money and they don't care of anybody's feelings. This BOGUS special cancellation was made on 2nd October, 2009 on occasion of international non-violence day as a protest against the massacre which took place on 11th March 2009 in Winnenden High School in which 16 students and teachers were killed.!!

I contacted local stamp collectors and philatelist, but no one in Winnenden knows about this special cancellation and they were all surprised that it was made to protest against massacre.!!

Just to make money they will find out any cause to justify  and make this Bogus cancellation!!

Now we all know that following is one of the classic BOGUS philatelic material made (not issued) on October 2nd from Winnenden Germany was issued in 2009 with Gandhi image and illegal use of Emblem of India.

Here 2 issues needs to take care of.

1) Illegal use of Emblem of India
2) Illegal use of Gandhi Image for forgery.

If you draw cartoon insulting Emblem of India then you will be arrested, but no one cares about this illegal use of India's Emblem.!!

If you are not aware of this BOGUS cancellation was made (not issued) on 2nd October to celebrate International Day of Non Violence then click following link to read about my investigation along with proof from Germany Postal department.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2010/01/fake-gandhi-postmark-cancel-from.html

This Bogus rubber stamp cancellation cover (Extremely Rare) is still available on eBay seller "ashokmehta1955" for $60. Following is the link if you want to buy it.!!

If you sell some other forgery item such as Rolex watches or Burberry/Coach ladies purses then eBay will shutdown your store and also take legal action by blocking paypal account and all kind of legal issue, because this multinational companies want to stop this forgery item so their brand is not affected.

But in stamp collection, no one cares.!! So you can make forgery without any legal issue and still make your living by selling this kinds of extremely rare stamps philatelic material, which don't even cost more than $10 to make rubber stamp and just start applying it not only on envelope, but also to postal receipt or international reply coupon or letterhead or stamp used abroad etc.!!

Don't you think it's easy to make money by selling rare stamps cancellation !? I think so as maker of this cover did not spend more than $1 to make it and now asking for $60.!! (BTW : It came down from $100 selling price.!!)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Germany-2009-Gandhi-Cancel-Cover-Extremely-Rare-/110879169117?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d0e9da5d

But while doing detail in-depth research on this special cancellation I was surprised when I saw same hand writing (now I am also hand writing verification expert) on different register cover from Patna, India send to same town in Germany.

So I am not sure whether this BOGUS special cancellation rubber stamp was made in Germany or made in Patna.?

Also you can compare hand writing in following image of register cover send from Patna to 71409, Schwaikheim and other words and alphabets.!!

According to my assumption, I think BOGUS philatelic material of Gandhi was made on October 2nd might be from Patna, because we can consider register cover with label on Taj Mahal stamp from India might be genuine, or same person might have written from both places.

Or might be from Schwaikhein, Germany who might have send hand written cover to Patna for register mail and mailed it from Patna, G.P.O post office.

To me it looks like there are multiple people(gang) are involved in this Bogus philatelic cover in multiple countries were one make this cover, some famous collector will glorify by exhibiting in stamp exhibition, and someone will sell it at very high price!!

Following is one more example and you can find lot more. Let me know if you need to see wide range as now I am also hand writing verified expert and I need to keep all that screenshot I see it on eBay or Delcampe auction site.!!

This are not rare stamps as you can see 4 covers are already mentioned here with different address of Winnenden & Schwaikhein in Germany and there is rubber stamp out there!!

Also not sure whether owner of this address know's that they received this kind of mail or  this was stolen from mailbox in Winnenden & Schwaikhein, or it's just write down any address near by and start selling such as we see all the time post to Prime Minister of Nepal or Prime Minster of India.!!

This BOGUS cancellation with illegal use of Emblem of India and Gandhi image issued from Winnenden to celebrate Non-Violence of Winnenden high school massacre which occurred on March 11th, 2009. Do you think it make sense to issue this kind of cancellation?

So what do you think about origin of this BOGUS rubber stamp?

Patna or Winnenden ?

Don't you think Gandhi Stamps Collection is suspense where world famous detective Sherlock Holmes will also get confused.!!

It's easy to make rubber stamp and claim it as unique material by even winning the medal.!!

In past I wrote about blog post about  Stamp Collection Hobby SCAM. (click following link to read)

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2011/11/is-stamp-collection-hobby-scam.html

Zeppelin flight cover Germany - Forgery or FAKE ?

We know how stamp collectors/dealers and philatelic experts makes money by creating FORGED rubber stamp and apply to any cover and make tons of money like Zeppelin flight cover Germany or any other QV stamp from British India or King George stamps or King Edwards stamp.

Sky is the limit in making money in philatelic  and stamp collection so grab opportunity if you can.!!

According to me there is more forgery stamps and philatelic material used on covers and register used covers than the authentic or genuine, because it's very easy to do.

Just create one rubber stamp and you are done and you have Zeppelin flight cover Germany or any cover.!

Want more thrill than start exhibiting in stamp show with help of friends who are judges who might make you win medal also or give Zeppelin flight cover Germany  to philatelic handbook author to write about it.

To make it more genuine Zeppelin flight cover Germany , you can give a one piece as donation to philatelic museum so no one will question it.!!

Click this link to know 15 steps to make money.

Following are two 1931 Graf Zeppelin Polar Flight cover Germany cancellation. One of them is forgery as per seller and other might be forgery also (if you compare both), but seller did not mentioned that it's forgery so it might be genuine as no one knows what happened in 1931  or even after that.

Also don't forget anyone can give Expertising certificate!!

Can you find out which is genuine and which is forged by looking at Zeppelin flight cover Germany..?

Or both Zeppelin flight cover Germany. are forgeries ?

Don't you think it's almost impossible, if you are not aware of FORGERY of Zeppelin flight cover Germany.

Any one can create a rubber stamp like a kids project and apply to any piece of postcard .!!

Read my following blog post about FORGERY of Zeppelin flight cover and see what's going on in Zeppelin flight cover Germany.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/12/aero-philately-first-air-mail-flight.html

Recently I saw 1931 Graf Zeppelin Polar Flight cover Germany selling for $340 by ebay seller "gemadastamps" from Oregon , which is similar to forgery I saw which was sold under $5. 

So what are chances of forgery selling as genuine ?

Also in past I wrote blog post about

Rocket Mail Cover ?

India Rocket Mail

Zeppelin Air mail cover : FORGERY is selling as GENUINE ?

Please read it and think what is going on and what are chances.

Do you still trust or believe in rare or unique Gandhi Philatelic material with all kind of different rubber stamps on 1948 Gandhi stamps from India.?

Do you still believe in 1911 First Aerial Mail from Allahabad.?

If answer is yes then read following blog post and think about it again.

In past I saw FAKE Zeppelin Flight covers.!!  or Aero Philately covers and if seller "aozisik" had not mentioned it as FAKE then it will be not even get notice that they are indeed FAKE flight covers for aero philately.

What I learned in 4+ years that as you move from stamps and first day covers you will face more and more FORGERY or BOGUS philatelic material because advance or experienced collectors wants RARE stamps or UNIQUE stamp collecting material, and so you will see more forgery in some unique stamp exhibition also which can bring you medal.

Stamp and FDC will not get you medal.!! so you need to get some rare stamp collecting material which is only way to create forgery and create scare.

Excellent quality in Aero Philately FAKE flight covers if you see different combination of rubber stamps of POSTMARK of different post office as well as CACHET.

This 18 Zeppelin Flight Covers were sold for $50.

If seller did not mentioned FAKE and did SHILL bidding then it will sell like 1911 First Aerial Mail Post from Allahabad and can make lot of money.

Of course there will lot of bidders (Shill) instead of just one in this auction so it really looks like authentic auction and can glorify with # of bidders and # of bids.

In my previous blog post I mentioned about forgery cancellation, unbelievable price in Aero Philately, World First Flight air mail cover - who are/were also Gandhi stamps seller.

Click following link to read my blog post about Aero Philately - First Air Mail Flight Covers - Zeppelin Covers  and you decide whether you really want to be part of this kind of shady collection.

First Aerial Post : India 1911 World 1st AERIAL POST ALLAHABAD

First Aerial Mail Post and Gandhi Stamps material SELLER.

FIRST AERIAL POST : INDIAN PHILATELY EXPOSED - PART III

INDIA STAMP FIRST AERIAL POST 1911 ALLAHABAD : Indian Philately Exposed - Part IV

First Aerial Post : Do you really think it's RARE and demands such a high price in philatelic collection? Is it valid in philatelic exhibition if postage stamps used is not valid ? or it's VALUE LESS.

This means that all rubber stamp (postmark and cachet) applied on this First Air Mail Flight Covers - Zeppelin cover, maxicard or postcard are FAKE.

Following all are FAKE rubber stamp of post office of Grafzeppelin, Moscou, Arctique as well as very beautiful cachet on Aero Philately - First Air Mail Flight Covers - Zeppelin Covers.

Do you think above FAKE covers might made it to philatelic museum in order to glorify Aero Philately - First Air Mail Flight Covers - Zeppelin Covers ?

Following is FORGED cachet of First Aerial Post which is also selling as First Air Mail Cover, World First Air Post etc.

Also post office postmark which are not applied on stamps are also forged from Allahabad post office dated 18 February 1911, as well as Sitapur post office.

There is no difference between First Aerial Post, U.P. Exhibition Allahabad 1911 and all of the above rubber stamp postmark and cachet.

ALL 3 RUBBER STAMPS ARE FORGERY.!!

Looks like lot of similarities between Gandhi stamps and Air Flight covers, First Flight covers, First Air Mail cover and First  Aerial Mail from Allahabad.

Even Register rubber stamps are FAKE in both.

First Aerial Mail : http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/07/first-aerial-post-indian-philately.html

Above are all bogus RUBBER stamps (which never exist) or forgery which will help future collectors whether they really want to start collecting stamps and philately.!!

Forgery in stamp collection and philatelic material is nothing new. It has been going around since last 150 years since Penny Black first every stamp issued by Great Britain. But the quantity  and quality of forged stamps we see in today's world is unbelievable.

It's hard which one is REAL and which one is FAKE. And if it is on used cover or register cover with forged postmark cancellation it will be impossible for new or regular collector.!!

In Indian stamps and philately specially in Gandhi collection we have seen lot of forgery stamps and philatelic materials, some of them are following.

1) Forged 1948 India Gandhi stamps

2) Forged 1948 India Gandhi SERVICE overprint stamp

3) Forged 1948 Gandhi Mourning first day cover.(different way to mourn.!!)

4) 1911 First Aerial Mail special cachet cancellation from Allahabad

5) Forged 1854 Queen Victoria stamp.

6) FAKE Gandhi Specimen stamp

7) FAKE Error Overprint stamp from Cameroon

8) FAKE Nicaragua Gandhi and Einstein FDC

9) FAKE Germany Gandhi Cancellation from Winnenden to spread non-violence for school shooting incident. ( philatelic gone extreme.!!)

10) FAKE Error stamps

Looks like Gandhi stamps and philatelic material have all kinds of Forgery.!!! including Indian Philatelic items such as 1911 First Aerial Mail from Allahabad and 1854 Queen Victoria stamps.!!

So what are chances of getting this FAKE Aero Philately cover as Genuine covers?

I think if you are new collectors and don't know what's going on behind the doors than you will end up buying it and regret whole your life that Aero Philately - First Air Mail Flight Covers - Zeppelin Covers sucked my money.!!!

So BEWARE when you start collecting  Aero Philately covers - First Air Mail Flight Covers - Zeppelin Covers.

Any way there is not that much interest in Aero Philately covers - First Air Mail Flight Covers - Zeppelin Covers.!!, but it will be good learning experience for Gandhi Stamps Collectors as well Philatelic judges who give medals to Gandhi exhibit so they have something to think about it.

By writing this I am not benefiting at all, but I am getting satisfaction of providing some important information to whole collector community so they don't get cheated.

Thanks

Germany FDC : Stamp collection price

Recently I saw Germany 1969 FDC Mahatma Gandhi Hindu India Indien selling on eBay at unbelievable price.

This Germany FDC were printed in very very large quantity and it should be available easily at throw away price under 25-50 cents.!! Not only Germany FDC but any item in stamp collection is very very low.

If you are wondering what will be my stamp collection price in future or what will be my stamp collection price right now than you might be surprised when you try to sell it.

Also stamp collection is declining through out the world and there are barely any buyers at even this price because dealers are not interested to purchase and resell because it's very hard to sell unless they cheat you by SHILL bidding to increase price or use other id to increase price in order to glorify Germany FDC or any other collectibles items.

Also there are FAKE FDC also available. Click following link to see it.

FDC - First Day cover Forgery or Bogus

Nicaragua 100 Years of Cinema FDC - Forgery gone wrong.!!

But here seller "allstamps4you" is selling for more than $15.!!

If you don't know research about pricing than you will regret buying at very high price.

To know more about this kind of activity read my following blog post and think what are the possibilities in cheating, glorification, SHILL bidding, FAKE, Forgery etc.

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) Gandhi SERVICE overprint stamp price fell from $1009 to $1.!!
10) How can you tell that Gandhi SERVICE stamp is FAKE or Forgery ?

I hope all the above will help while making decision in investing stamps and to avoid getting CHEATED.!!

Now don't you think it does NOT make sense STAMP INVESTING!! or even Collecting.!!!

Do you think it's INVESTMENT or GAME.!!

I think it's not for Investment but it's a Philatelic GAME.!!

So let's see how to play  Philatelic Game.!! (click to read how to, rules and regulations.!!)

So now what do you think about pricing of this Germany 1969 FDC Gandhi India.

International Day of Non-Violence

Hello Gandhi Philatelist,

Beware of October 2nd.!! 

Interenational Day of Non-Violence or Gandhi Jayanti is coming and chances of BOGUS philatelic material are be very high.!!

The United Nations’ (UN) International Day of Non-Violence is a global observance that promotes non-violence through education and public awareness. It is annually held on October 2 to coincide with renowned Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday.

This day is referred to in India as Gandhi Jayanti and it is very important date for all people around world who believes in Non Violence, Human Rights, Truth and all other Mahatma Gandhi's Principle.

There will be lot of prayers, peace walk, Mahatma Gandhi statue unveiling etc. all around the world to celebrate this date.

But it is also most awaited date for  stamp collectors/dealers who wants to make money from you and make there living!!  by selling RARE stamps and philatelic material, So BEWARE.!!

Stamp Collectors/dealers will go to any extent to make money and they don't care of anybody's feelings. This BOGUS special cancellation was made on 2nd October, 2009 on occasion of international non-violence day as a protest against the massacre which took place on 11th March 2009 in Winnenden High School in which 16 students and teachers were killed.!!

I contacted local stamp collectors and philatelist, but no one in Winnenden knows about this special cancellation and they were all surprised that it was made to protest against massacre.!!

Just to make money they will find out any cause to justify  and make this Bogus cancellation!!

Now we all know that following is one of the classic BOGUS philatelic material made (not issued) on October 2nd from Winnenden Germany was issued in 2009 with Gandhi image and illegal use of Emblem of India.

Here 2 issues needs to take care of.

1) Illegal use of Emblem of India
2) Illegal use of Gandhi Image for forgery.

If you draw cartoon insulting Emblem of India then you will be arrested, but no one cares about this illegal use of India's Emblem.!!

If you are not aware of this BOGUS cancellation was made (not issued) on 2nd October to celebrate International Day of Non Violence then click following link to read about my investigation along with proof from Germany Postal department.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2010/01/fake-gandhi-postmark-cancel-from.html

This Bogus rubber stamp cancellation cover (Extremely Rare) is still available on eBay seller "ashokmehta1955" for $60. Following is the link if you want to buy it.!!

If you sell some other forgery item such as Rolex watches or Burberry/Coach ladies purses then eBay will shutdown your store and also take legal action by blocking paypal account and all kind of legal issue, because this multinational companies want to stop this forgery item so their brand is not affected.

But in stamp collection, no one cares.!! So you can make forgery without any legal issue and still make your living by selling this kinds of extremely rare stamps philatelic material, which don't even cost more than $10 to make rubber stamp and just start applying it not only on envelope, but also to postal receipt or international reply coupon or letterhead or stamp used abroad etc.!!

Don't you think it's easy to make money by selling rare stamps cancellation !? I think so as maker of this cover did not spend more than $1 to make it and now asking for $60.!! (BTW : It came down from $100 selling price.!!)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Germany-2009-Gandhi-Cancel-Cover-Extremely-Rare-/110879169117?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d0e9da5d

But while doing detail in-depth research on this special cancellation I was surprised when I saw same hand writing (now I am also hand writing verification expert) on different register cover from Patna, India send to same town in Germany.

So I am not sure whether this BOGUS special cancellation rubber stamp was made in Germany or made in Patna.?

Also you can compare hand writing in following image of register cover send from Patna to 71409, Schwaikheim and other words and alphabets.!!

According to my assumption, I think BOGUS philatelic material of Gandhi was made on October 2nd might be from Patna, because we can consider register cover with label on Taj Mahal stamp from India might be genuine, or same person might have written from both places.

Or might be from Schwaikhein, Germany who might have send hand written cover to Patna for register mail and mailed it from Patna, G.P.O post office.

To me it looks like there are multiple people(gang) are involved in this Bogus philatelic cover in multiple countries were one make this cover, some famous collector will glorify by exhibiting in stamp exhibition, and someone will sell it at very high price!!

Following is one more example and you can find lot more. Let me know if you need to see wide range as now I am also hand writing verified expert and I need to keep all that screenshot I see it on eBay or Delcampe auction site.!!

This are not rare stamps as you can see 4 covers are already mentioned here with different address of Winnenden & Schwaikhein in Germany and there is rubber stamp out there!!

Also not sure whether owner of this address know's that they received this kind of mail or  this was stolen from mailbox in Winnenden & Schwaikhein, or it's just write down any address near by and start selling such as we see all the time post to Prime Minister of Nepal or Prime Minster of India.!!

This BOGUS cancellation with illegal use of Emblem of India and Gandhi image issued from Winnenden to celebrate Non-Violence of Winnenden high school massacre which occurred on March 11th, 2009. Do you think it make sense to issue this kind of cancellation?

So what do you think about origin of this BOGUS rubber stamp?

Patna or Winnenden ?

Don't you think Gandhi Stamps Collection is suspense where world famous detective Sherlock Holmes will also get confused.!!

BTW : Want to know more about this kind of activity read my following blog post and think what are the possibilities in postal history of cheating, glorification, SHILL bidding, FAKE, Forgery etc.

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) Gandhi SERVICE overprint stamp price fell from $1009 to $1.!!
10) How can you tell that Gandhi SERVICE stamp is FAKE or Forgery ?

I hope all of the above will help you to make decision in investing rare stamps and to avoid getting CHEATED.!!

Postal History - Event Covers

"In philately, the term cover pertains to the outside of an envelope or package with an address, typically with postage stamps that have been cancelled and is a term generally used among stamp and postal history collectors. , , The term does not include the contents of the letter or package, although they may add interest to the item if still present. Cover collecting plays an important role in postal history as many covers bear stamps, postmarks and other markings along with names and addresses all of which help to place a cover at a given time and place in history, , Event covers are decorated, stamped and canceled commemorative envelopes. They are created to celebrate an event or note an anniversary. (From Wikipedia)"

Recently I was researching about postal history and event covers as philatelic material with USED stamps of Gandhi from various countries and I was surprised by selling price even after 40+ years.

This Gandhi stamps used on cover as event covers or postal history were selling from 0.01 cents to $3.!!

Can't believe it. Don't know why such a low pricing for used event  cover or postal history. Also it's not rare anymore from UK, Russia, Greece, India, USA and Germany.

Following are screenshot you can look in detail and understand type of cover, value of cover etc. This is only for reference so you can see what kind of covers are available and what's price you need to pay for event covers or postal history.

To me used cover does not make sense to pay high price as there are very large quantity available and because of that you can have wide variety in your postal history collection, but you don't have to pay high price for this kind of events cover or postal history covers.

Of course you will find unique varieties of this event covers as well as postal history covers, which will be unique but make sure you don't pay HIGH price

So what do you think about pricing of  this USED covers.

To me it's a genuine price when it's between 0.01 cents to $3.

You need to make sure about pricing when you buy this kind of used cover and if you see it's expensive then chance of forgery  or SHILL bidding is possible.

We had seen lot of forgery in USED cover also and very expensive by SHILL bidding or not paying to seller.!!

Read my blog post about following BOGUS FORGED Gandhi stamps and philatelic cancellation with rubber stamp applied on piece of paper or envelope and trying to MAKE huge money instead of selling just MINT stamps.!!

F0RGERY of rubber stamp with Red ink.!!!
Chances of correct ink cover might be in Museum or selling on eBay!!

Above are all bogus RUBBER stamps (which never exist) or forgery which will help future collectors whether they really want to start collecting stamps and philately as postal history or event covers.!! 

My personal opinion is that when any expensive philatelic item from India there are more chances of forgery. Also it's not only India philatelic material but any expensive postal history or event cover philatelic material.!!
