King Edward stamps forgery

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/08/india-king-edward-25-rupees-stamp.html

 

By the way Scindedawk is selling 12000+ stamps or philately material from USA or India.

Don't know who will buy all this!!

Are there any new stamp collector coming to this hobby?

On top of that all you still have to pay captial gain tax and income tax, state tax etc.

Don't know which country the tax is paid such as income tax or capital gain tax or whatever.

Similar is the case who knows seller from physical auction site where Gandhi stamp was sold for 500000 pounds.

Do you think all this is REAL?

British India Stamps King Edward stamps from eBay seller anglo-indian-affairs

Recently I saw British India stamp of King Edward sold for $2100 with 40 bids on this auction. This was sold by "anglo-indian-affairs" from United Kingdom.

This is not first time I am seeing this stamp selling in Mint condition which is . more than 109 years old but still comes in lot of quantity.

According to my knowledge there has been more than 30 stamps of King Edward 1909 stamp  were sold by this seller in last 5 years.!!

But I had also seen forgery stamps also selling by seller from Russia or Taiwan for under $5.!!! It's very hard to differentiate between this stamps sold for $1000+ or $5.!!

Looks like eBay is making lot of commission from UK eBay seller "anglo-indian-affairs"

I did more research on British India stamps sold by "anglo-indian-affairs" and I was surprised by amount of money flowing in British India stamps.!!

Can't believe it's REAL.!!!

In last 3 months only "anglo-indian-affairs" has sold more than 2600+ stamps or stamps related material which are with mostly British India stamps.

After looking 2600+ stamp selling from just one eBay seller " anglo-indian-affairs" Do you think stamp collection is still a hobby?

Lot of money for UK and Euro from GST.!!

But some of them to me looks like FORGERY.!! Yes Forgery as you know almost all British India stamp is forged specially high amount value (25 Rupees stamp) and others.

Look at India 1909 King Edward stamp sold for $2172. You can see my previous blog post about this stamp and you decide what's going on King Edward stamp.!!

Now do you think all this 2500+ eBay transaction are GENUINE.!!

I am not talking about GENUINE stamp. I am just talking about eBay Auction Transaction.?

Did all 2500+ transaction was genuine where seller paid all his dues to eBay, PayPal, UK or Euro GST and paid all Capital Gain Tax as per UK tax rules.

If it is paid then it's good for eBay shareholders as well as PayPal (Disclosure : I am paypal shareholder) and UK government got lot of money from GST.!!

14000+ US dollar only from 13-14 auction only.!! Want to check all 2600+ ebay auction sold by anglo-indian-affairs then click following link.

eBay seller "anglo-indian-affairs" auction sold.

So what do you think ?

Is 2600+ eBay transactions are genuine ?

Is British India stamps are in demands.!! ?

If you see above screenshot it looks like there were multiple bids on each of the stamps which were sold.?

Do you think there is SHILL bidding on this ?

Following is FORGERY selling under $10.




Do you think there will be better quality of this FORGERY stamp selling ?

Anglo-Indian-Affairs sold India EDVII 1909 SG147 25r stamps.

In past I wrote about King Edward 1909 stamp from India with 25 Rupees face value.

This King Edward 1909 stamp is available in plenty as REPRINT stamp from X-soviet union countries under $5.

What are chances of this stamp selling as Genuine.!!

Also consider 25 Rupees was lot of money in 1909 for any Indian people and to keep it in Mint condition for 100+ years in good condition is very rare unless you are from King's/Queen family.

In past REPLICA stamps were sold for $8-9. Don't you think it's easy to sell it for $1600 by SHILL BIDDING.!!

Click following link to read more about Replica stamp of King Edward stamp.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2015/09/jal-cooper-kgv-ked-stamps.html

Recently India EDVII stamp issued in 1909 with (Stanley Gibbons # 147) SG147 of 25 Rupees stamp was sold for $1600.!!

Now did Ango-Indian_Affairs really sold this stamp ?

      * might not got money from buyer after winning it.!! (ebay will give refund to commission to seller)

Did it really sold ?

     * Did eBay got commission ?

Did UK government got tax ?

     * If it is sold then UK government should get TAX as capital gain tax.

Did UK government got VAT ?

     * If it is sold then UK government should get VAT.


My personal opinion(freedom of speech) about this transaction is

• It's a Replica stamp
• It was not sold for $1600 even you can see it on eBay.
• No commission to eBay
• No payment made. (Paypal did not get any commission).
• No Capital Gain Tax to UK government.
• No VAT paid.

What is your opinion ?

India GEOV stamp - British India stamps - India KGV stamps - KEV stamps.

Recently I saw mint India 1913 or 1928 GEOV stamp valued 25 Rs, 15 Rs, 10 Rs issued 100+ years ago selling in huge quantity.

eBay seller "anglo-Indian-affairs" from UK sold more than 200 India mint GEOV stamps.

Yes GEOV stamps sold between $300 to $50. (approximately $10000).!! 

• How much capital gain tax this seller has to pay ?
• How much VAT & income tax has to pay to UK federal government ?

Who the hack is buying this INDIA GEOV stamps.!!?

What bother me is that 25 Rs or 15 Rs or 10 Rs was lot of money in 1913.

No one has that kind of money and save it for collection as investment.

It's a paper which will deteriorated over the time.

People will invest in GOLD not in piece of paper.

Also this high value stamps were not required for regular postage as there was nothing that expensive to post.

So what are this mint INDIA GEOV stamps ?

FORGERY ?

Yes FORGERY are selling as Genuine. !!

I know  this kind of sale is good for

• eBay as they will get commission
• capital gain tax to country of selling
• VAT to country(EU) of selling (depending on buyer's country).
• Paypal as they will get fees from seller
• Income tax (year end) of seller's country.

it's hard to tell but My opinion that no one gets money.!!

But not sure why collectors are paying this much after my opinion through following blog post.!

Now do you think all this selling is real.?

• Yes, I am talking about FAKE selling.!!
• Buyer don't pay to seller. Seller cancel bid with eBay so don't have to pay commission.
• SHILL bidding by philatelic friends, relative and seller's other id to increase price and cancel the transaction if someone else don't buy it from the cartel.!! so don't have to pay commission to eBay.
• You and me will be not aware what happen in reality.!!

This is what happens to increase price of any collectible items.

FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE REPLICA STAMPS.

Look carefully and think how easy is so get fooled by this replica stamps.

Don't you think above are replica stamps ?

Because # 1 thing is that no one has that kind of money to keep it as collection.!!

Don't you think you can make lot of money by selling replica as genuine.


So do you think India GEOV stamps are forgery selling as genuine.?

I think so.!

Making money on eBay - British India King Edward 1902 stamp

Everyone loves money.!!

But to earn money by selling stamp on ebay is very easy.

Just buy some forgery stamps (replica) and sell it as genuine by applying rubber stamp (easy to make)  and sell it by SHILL bidding (to increase price).

Following is British India King Edward 1902 stamp valued 25 Rupees. 

It was lot of money 115 years so it will be very hard to find mint in condition unless you are from King of England family.

Also it will be very hard to find this used stamp because no one in India was using this much amount of stamp. Also in 1902 there were very few people to need this stamp for use.!!

Following is  British India King Edward 1902 stamp and it will be very hard to tell it's GENUINE or FORGERY.!!

It's forgery.!!

And it's available for $5 and it's very hard to tell that it's forgery.!!

To me it looks like genuine when I compare with other 1902 India KE VII stamp sold for $2000 or $1750.!!

This forgery stamp is well centered position.!!

Seller can sell this as genuine but he choose to sell it forgery so no buyer.!!

Also he did not did any SHILL bidding to make it look it's authentic.!!

Above stamp is available on eBay for $5 and no one wants to even buy it.!!

Even used stamp is available for $5.!!!

So don't you think you can make money by selling this forgery stamps as GENUINE and make lot of money.!!!

Following are some of the sold stamps on eBay in last 2-3 years ago. Now think how many might be sold in last 5 years.!!! (more than 300 - 500.!!).

Seller                                   Price Sold 

Anjulin                                   $2000

pristinephilateic                      $1750

s_faria                                      $800(appr)

bygonesofbridlingt                  $618

worldstamp22                          $504
collstamps                                $498
filer3rd                                     $435
beattle123                                $295
bcsomani                                  $175

Can you imagine how much money this seller has to pay to

•  eBay as commission
• Capital Gain Tax to country of selling.
• Income Tax, State Tax, Sales Tax to that country.
• Paypal as commission.

But still seller make lot of money.!!!

You also have to pay above taxes and commission even if you sell forgery stamp as genuine so be prepared to pay.!!

I know it paying taxes it hurts but you cannot escape paying taxes if you are in USA or European countries or Australia or Japan or Korea.!!

Compare below stamps with above FORGERY or REPLICA and see margin on sides.!!

To me all of the following look FORGERY and above stamp looks GENUINE when I compare margin on all sides.!!

e

Recently it's not selling for high price like $2000 or $1750 or $800 but you can still make $387 or $330.!!

eBay seller "Joru" from Germany - $387
eBay seller "elagen1" from UK - $330
eBay seller "walt.papc from US - $250(best offer ?)

Even some tried to sell at high price but not were able to sell it.!!

eBay seller "statusinternational" for $1200

eBay seller "nainad" for $849(multiple 1902 KE stamps)

eBay seller "cassouza" for $495.

So  don't you think you can money also.!!

I think it's easy.

• Just buy replica (forgery) stamp
• Create rubber stamp of any big city like Calcutta or Bombay or Pondicherry and apply on replica stamp.

Thanks

1902 EdVII ten shillings stamps of GB - 1902 India KEVII 25 Rupees Stamps - Genuine or Forgery stamps ?

We all know 25 rupees was lot of money in 1902 (113 years ago).

But we all see too many mint 1902 India KEVII 25 Rupees stamp selling on eBay for $700+.

Does it make sense  to you that someone will keep 25 Rupees stamp in mint condition in 1902 ? (Except you are King or Queen of England or from Royal family)

Do you think King George stamps is  FORGERY stamps selling as Genuine ?

There are lot of forgery stamps available on eBay so you can buy one and sell  it as genuine and increase price by SHILL bidding and make it look like genuine ?

Also we see lot of 1902 EdVII ten shillings stamps of GB selling one eBay for very high price.

Recently I saw 1902 India KEVII 25 Rupees Stamp sold on eBay from Santa Clara, California by "mystampzone" for $787.

There were 7 bidders bidding for this stamps and 31 bids on it.

Also it's private listing bidders identities protected.!!! (WHY)

Do you think eBay shareholder will benefit from this transaction ?

eBay (shareholder) will get $78 on this transaction.!! (10% of selling price).

Also do you think California State will also benefit from sales tax and yearly income tax from this sale ?

So what are chances of getting forgery stamps like below even paying $700+?

NOW LET SEE OTHER 1902 STAMPS SELLING ON EBAY.

GB 1902 EdVII 10 Shilling stamps selling for $1700, $1260, $1208, $1037 from eBay seller from UK "collectstamps" and "tenshillings"

Look at # of bids.!!

28 bids , buy it now, 37 bids and 13 bids.!!

$5000 for four 1902 EdVII stamps of GB.!!

It's killing profit for eBay.!! ($500 from this four transaction only).

Also do you think UK government is getting 19% VAT on this transactions as all prices in UK are VAT inclusive and seller has to pay to government treasury.!!

If you are investing in stocks (shares) then you might think it will be good to buy eBay stock, because without giving anything you are getting this much money.!!

Do you think eBay is getting this kind of commission ?

Or eBay is not getting anything as seller might open case of non paying buyer ?

Now do you think following are FORGERY stamp selling as genuine ?

Following is FORGERY stamp - Replica stamp of GB 1902 EdVII ten shilling stamp.

You will not find any difference.!!!

Do you think following is Genuine stamp if seller don't mention about this. I don't think so.!!

Above block of 4 is a facismile/copy/counterfeit stamp.!!!

Because of recent modern technology in printing which is capable of printing money if printer manufacture are not restricted by government. If printers are capable of printing latest US dollar bill with all this watermark/threads/multicolor/magentic ink then to print 1948 stamp is peace of cake for this kind of printers.!!

So keep in mind what latest printers can do (along with rubber stamps) when you buy following items Mint or even USED on FDC or postally used.

1) 10 Rupees 1948 Gandhi stamps
2) 1 1/2, 3 1/2  and 12 Annas 1948 Gandhi stamps
3) SERVICE overprint Gandhi 1948 stamps
4) Imperf Gandhi stamps from Niger, Gabon, Cameroun, and all others Gandhi imperf stamps. (it's easy as no cutting required.!!)
5) SKY is the LIMIT.!!

THIS FAKE STAMPS MIGHT COME ON FDC OR USED COVERS SO BEWARE!!!!!!!!!

Above stamp is currently selling as facsimile(copy).

Following are some screenshot from delcampe where it is sold as facsimile(copy/forgery/fake)

SO BEWARE BEFORE YOU BUY.

Do you think all are GENUINE stamps ?

or

Do you think Replica is used to create used stamp with forged rubber stamp.?

It's your choice to think.!!

Thanks

Jal Cooper - King George KGV Stamps - King Edward KED Stamps

Recently I saw India KGV 1925 overprint Surcharge double stamps sold for $440 with Jal Cooper signature.!! sold by eBay seller "mareval2".

Don't you think signature can be forged. It's more easier than forging stamps or rubber stamp and making used register cover or first day cover or BOGUS stamps.

Following are signatures of Jal Cooper. You decide which one is GENUINE or FORGERY.

Or both might be FORGERY ?

Do you really think following KGV stmaps(King George) or KED stamps(King Edward) are genuine stamps with overprint surcharge stamps.?

In past we had seen lot of KGV or King Edward or Queen Victoria stamp selling as Facismile or copy as it's impossible to get it because 100 years ago 25 Rupees was too much money.!!! Even 10 Rupees and 15  Rupees were too much.!!

And to keep it in mint condition is foolish because it's a piece of paper which can be degraded with time, weather or natural calamities.

We all know how many facsmile or replica (copy) stamps are available for this KGV stmaps(King George) or KED stamps(King Edward) 25 Rupees stamp or 15 Rupees stamps or all 1902 British India stamps or 1909 British  India stamps 1925 British India stamps So this might me nothing but forgery stamps selling as genuine.

As I mentioned before  Philately or stamp collection is nothing but cheating. 

Following are FORGERY or REPLICA stamps which are available in plenty and overprinting it is easier than making stamps.

In order to make money Gandhi Philately collectors will do any thing.

• Create Bogus (never exist) material (like Round Table Conferenece Cancellation or 2009 Gandhi special cancellation from Germany).
• Forged Expertising Certificate
• Shill Bidding
• Don't pay to seller.
• Forged stamps

Look at the following Royal Philatelic Society - RPS certificate. It's FORGED for Indian Round Table conference special cancellation.

But this Round Table Cancellation itself is BOGUS - Never issued by British Postal Administration but it's circulating on eBay.

On top of that it's glorified in various Gandhi Philatelic material such as Philatelic Handbook, Stamp Year Book, Online Gandhi stamp exhibit, Gandhi Philatelic websites/blogs/forum etc.!!

http://uspaexpertising.blogspot.com/2014/12/royal-philatelic-society-expert.html

So do you trust Royal Philatelic Society - RPS certificate ?

Above forged expertising  certificate was forged by  "GandhiPhilately" aka "echobangla" from Australia.!!

Even listing country Australia might be mentioned wrong in order to make collectors think it's not from India.!!

Another forged Royal Philatelic Society expertising certificate is one of the expensive Gandhi stamps.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2011/01/expensive-gandhi-stamp.html

So do you trust Royal Philatelic Society - RPS certificate ?

So now you don't think Gandhi Philately is Cheating ?

All you see on eBay or delcampe or Handbooks are nothing but FORGERY or BOGUS Gandhi Philately material with increase priced by SHILL bidding in order to Glorify and make you think it's GENUINE.

But in reality Gandhi Philately is Cheating.!!

As this also has stamp Expert Certificate I decide to do more research about Expertising Certificate issuer.

To me this Expert Certificate does not add any value, because it looks like any one can give their opinion and call piece of paper as Expertising Certificate.

To become stamp Expert (Expertising Certificate issuer)

• You don't need any college degree or certification or license from government.
• There are no rules or law in stamp expertising certificate which needs to be followed and there is no overseeing authority who can revoke you as stamp expert or philatelic expert.
• Even to open a store or company it require permit from local authority and they do all kind of inspection, background check etc. You don't need when you start issuing expertising certificate. 
• It don't require physical address also as website is only requirement to become philatelic expert.

Does it make sense with this kind of Stamp Expert or Expertising Certificate ?

Don't you think it's a JOKE.!! (Philatelic JOKE).!!

Let me make sure I am not writing that this is not a genuine stamps or not a genuine certificate or genuine opinion giving through Expert Certificate. 

I am just expressing my freedom of speech by expressing my own opinion which can help you to think about WHAT IS this Expertising Certificate in stamp collection which we see all the time for expensive stamps and philatelic items.

As this was issued by Sergio Sismondo, first thing I did was to search on google.!!

I searched for  Sergio Sismondo on google and found following link, but to me it looks like some what questionable.

http://www.sismondostamps.com

I cannot even found "Sergio" name on this website.!! Also address is not any office as it's pointing to some mailbox in mall.( I know people don't want to provide genuine address to avoid spam or privacy, but when you are in business it's shows your identity.!!). But it's required to gain trust of collectors.

Email address is not even pointing to this web address.!! It's sismondo@dreamscape.com which is free web based email address. (In order to gain trust one must have it's own domain name email address, not free one.)

There is No information about Sergio Sismondo

• Who is he ? 
• How is he philatelic expert ?
• What are his philatelic expertise ?
• What kind of stamp collection he did in past and present ?
• Participate in stamp exhibition?
• Won any medals in stamp exhibition ?
• Any international philatelic exhibition judging ?

Also no information about who submitted India 1854 stamp,  as we see on other expertising certificate.

Looks like it's not big philatelic society like The Royal Philatelic Society issuing this certificate but some one like me or you is giving his opinion by charging money.

There are total 87 auction on eBay with Sismondo Certificate. Click this link for auction by Sergio Simondo.

It's easy to make money and no liability and make lot of money. See money made by sismondostamps.com, Philatelic expert Sergio Sismondo.!! (It's 3.75% of catalogue value, which is about $150.!!)

http://www.sismondostamps.com/exp/expert.htm

Lot of money by issuing certificate.!!  Now I am seriously thinking about to issuing expertising certificate. ( it's coming soon.!!)

Again let me make sure I am not writing that this is not a genuine stamps or not a genuine certificate or genuine opinion giving through Expert Certificate. I am just expressing my freedom of speech by expressing my own opinion which can help you to think about this Expertising Certificate which we see all the time for expensive stamps and philatelic items.

It's up to you to decide whether expertising make sense or not. You are paying money so you need to decide.

Also I found another website http://www.sismondowines.com while searching Sergion Sismondo which is  all about WINES.

Wines or Stamps ? or both.?

In past I wrote about Expertising certificate so please read my blog post to understand properly.

1) Forgery or Reused of stamp Expertising Certificate of $225,000!!

2) Rare Stamp - Old Stamps - RPS stamp Expert Certificate.

3) Study of RPS stamp expertizing Certificate.

Even though some of the stamps and philatelic material looks Forgery to me there are expertising certificate because any one can issue certificate without any liability.

To me it looks like any one can issue stamp Expertising certificate.

Issuing stamp expertising certificate don't required any government license or any college degree or you don't have to buy any bonds or money guarantee.

If you are doctor or pharmacist you need degree as well as government license to practice but to issue Expertising certificate any one can issue it even if you don't collect stamp.!!

If doctor or pharmacist makes any mistake or error their license will be suspended or someone will sue them.

But if you are issuer of Stamp Expert Certificate you are not liable of anything even if you give incorrect information.!!

So how can we trust this certificate ? (We Cannot trust it)

Do expertising certificate issuing committee takes full responsibility if some thing is proven wrong after many years.? (No they don't take any responsibility).

They just give opinion and don't take any liability. 

Think as PIECE OF PAPER.!! without any liability.

Here in this certificate there is no Company or no members in Expert Committee, It's an individual who is expressing opinion.

In past I wrote following blog posts about forgery of 1854 stamp so what are chances of this as Forgery.

India 1854 Yvert - British India stamp Queen Victoria - QV stamp sold for $3275

India 1854 QV Queen Victoria 4 annas stamps

India 1854 half anna - queen victoria british india stamp

Straits Settlements stamps B/172 India stamps - Do you really think it's worth $34,500.!!?

1854 1/2 Anna Queen Victoria stamps

Rarities India 1854 stamp - Queen Victoria stamp - Making money on Internet

After reading above blog post what do you think about this cancellation and QV stamps ?

Now as we know that this 1854 QV Queen Victoria  India stamps are available in FORGERY what are chances of this as forgery.

Click link to see more about this.

Not sure why it was sold for such a less even with stamp expert certificate, but who cares when everyone is making money including eBay($50), PayPal ($50) and Expert Certificate issuer ($150), postal agency etc which in turn will be benefited to USA state and federal government  who will get income tax, sales tax etc from seller as well as Expert Certificate issuer as well as from eBay and eBay shareholders(if stock goes up).

Lot of money is flowing through stamp collection with stamp expert certificate.

DON'T EVERY STAMP COLLECTOR SHOULD ISSUE EXPERT CERTIFICATE and make money.!!

Any one can become PHILATELIC EXPERT as there is no education needed or college degree or certification exam.!!

Just tell everyone I am Philatelic Expert.!! ( I am Gandhi Philatelic Expert.!!)

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!!

Thanks
