India 1948 Gandhi SERVICE stamp with BPA certificate

Recently India 1948 Gandhi Service stamp was sold for $2000.

I have written more than 50 blog post about Gandhi SERVICE stamp and it's interesting to see  some dumb collector is willing to pay this much for piece of paper!!

Click following blog post to understand what is India 1948 Gandhi SERVICE stamp

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/11/most-expensive-stamp.html

As per my knowledge and my research I think this SERVICE overprint was never printed

The story is that this was created by C. Rajagopalachari, the First Governor General of India, and he was selling it as a charity!! 

I have never seen a photograph of C. Rajagopalachari on a stamp which proves that it really existed.

This stamp was not famous or widely distribute when C Rajagopalachari was alive until 1972. He might have given some talk or seminar on this SERVICE stamp.

Then how come you see all this Stamp Expert Certification from BPA or RPLS or whoever. Because it's easy to print and provided certificate. It don't require any government credentials to give certificate like USPA Expertising Inc.

Thanks

1948 India Gandhi Stamp collection research expertising. Investment in stamp collection ?

Following are some of the expensive Gandhi stamps material sold on eBay.

This is for your research before you buy any 1948 Gandhi stamps from India as a stamp investment or as alternative investment other than gold or share/stock or real estate property.

1) Are this genuine 1948 Gandhi stamps on the cover ?

2) Are this genuine Jai Hind special cancellation issued on 15 August 1948 ?(or rubber stamp)

3) Are this genuine CDS (cancellation date stamp) on the cover ?

4) Do you think this are really travelled to destination ?

5) Do you think this are really sold on eBay for this much money ?

6) Do you think eBay as well as PayPal got commission from this transaction?

7) Do you think local government got tax from this selling ?

8) Do you think any government got capital gain tax from this collectible item selling ?

9) and you need to come up with another 92 before you decide !!!

Please read my 700+ blog on Gandhi stamps and you have to decide because it's your money you will be investing.!

But my personal opinion (my certificate of stamp expertise) is all of this is FAKE or Forgery.!! It's my personal opinion as everyone opinion differ.

But my opinion is free not like BPA or RPLS where they charge money and they don't take any responsibility or liability even after issuing certificate.

What is stamp Expertising or stamp authentication?

Above eBay 8-9 transaction are $10000.!! for piece of paper.!!

Do you really think some one is spending this kind of money on 1948 India Gandhi stamp collection or philatelic hobby.

No one is collecting anything right now as no one has time because of lot of other activities in the world such as surfing on internet, watching Netflix or youtube or social media like facebook or tiktok or even watching TV and Movies and on top of that people are watching cricket or soccer or other sports.

But someone is buying it as per this transaction which is good for ebay(get commission 10%) and paypal (2-3%) and California and USA Federal Tax from capital gain tax on collectible items  or seller's country from where they are selling.

Also buyer country residence will get local tax where buyer reside as eBay as to collect tax.!!

Do you think all of them are getting money from this.? To me it will be about $2000 to $4000 depending on countries.

It's hard to tell as majority of stamp collection transaction are fake (never processed through) as buyer do SHILL bidding (bidding with other id) or friend will buy it for them and they cancel transaction.!!

But if you see on eBay there are lot of Gandhi stamps are sold and currently available.!!

And you might be thinking this selling price is genuine.?

So do your research as it's very easy to make this kind of postal cover as it only required some old postal envelope and rubber stamps.!!

Very easy way to make money on eBay or any other live auction or online auction by famous auction house.

So think before you invest in stamp.!!

I will never invest in stamp as alternative investment as there is no law or legal entity control's it.

Also there are very few investor to buy.

So stick with Gold or Share/Stocks or Real estate property.!!

Again it's your money.!!! so you can burn how ever you want to burn.

Scinde Dawk - Asia first stamp - Stamp Expert Certificate - Is it forgery stamp or never issued.

Scinde Dawk 1852 stamps from India was sold for $1025 by eBay seller "lunar_nj" from India and item location in Kansas, USA.

Not sure where seller will pay capital gain tax ?

Because seller is based in India and item location in USA.

Need to pay too lot of capital gain tax on this item as it was sold for $1025.

But my question is this all real.?

All means

• Embossed Scinde Dawk is genuine stamp ? (any one can make this kind of embossed stamp and start applying on old paper)
• Do you think after 167+ years this kind of thing still available in plenty. ( I had seen more than 200 on eBay alone in last 9 years).
• Do you think this is genuine transaction where eBay seller paid all commission to eBay?
• Do you think eBay seller paid all state tax (kansas) and federal tax to IRS ?
• Do you think this stamp Expert certificate as any value? (anyone can issue Expert Certificate as no licenses or education required.!!)
• Do people were using stamps 167+ years ago.? (Think how far your relatives were living at that time.!!)
• Do you think it was never issued.? ( do you think it was required in India or Pakistan when it was under British rule).
• Do you think piece of paper will still remain intact after 167+ years ago? (think about weather, all different wars in that region and other things happened in 167 years. Do you have your first standard marksheet?)
• Do people collect stamp anymore? 
• Do you think 43 bids are genuine?
• One bidder is bidding on 832 items and 5721 bids? ( can you believe that.!)
• Do you think SHILL bidding is done to increase price?

After reading all of the above Will you pay $1025 for this kind piece of paper ?

Want to do more research  then click following link to read about Scinde Dawk.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/search/label/scinde%20dawk

2 months ago Scinde Dawk with Stamp Expert Certificate from RPSL Ltd was sold for $999 by "invest-and-collect" from UK with only one bid.!!

Why only one bid and less price then "lunar_nj"

Do you think this stamps are Investment ?

Do you think it's invest and collect item?

Above screenshot is about bidder who is bidding on Scinde Dawk but also bidding on another 832 items on eBay with 5721 bids.!!


What do you think about this bidder ?

Is it SHILL bidding ?

Mauritius QV 1854 stamp with BPA expert certificate - Mauritius Queen Victoria 1854 stamps

Mauritius Queen Victoria 1854 stamps or Mauritius QV 1854 stamp with BPA was sold for $1199 by eBay seller "pristinephilatelics" from Sunnyvale California USA.

All transaction you saw on eBay or even in big auction house are not GENUINE.  So keep that in mind. 

It's all about marketing and trying to show that people collect stamps and stamps are selling at very high price. So it's good for alternative investment.!!

Do you believe people still collect stamps and paying this much amount on one stamp of Mauritius QV 1854 stamp with BPA expert certificate .?

Do you really think this Mauritius Queen Victoria 1854 stamps is genuine transaction ?

What genuine transaction means ?

• Seller paid to buyer
• Buyer paid commission to eBay (10% of selling price)
• Buyer paid California Tax  (7-10% of selling price)?
• Buyer paid Capital Gain Tax during Federal Tax return(15% - 35%) ?

Do you think Mauritius Queen Victoria 1854 stamps is GENUINE stamp ? 

What genuine stamp means ?

• It's 160+ year old stamp.
• How it end up with some normal collector who is selling on eBay
• Forgery stamps of 1854 and other older stamps are available in plenty.

But it has BPA cert - BPA expert certificate.

So what.

Anyone can become stamp expert and issue certificate. There is no official license like notary or pharmacy or lawyer.!!

This BPA cert don't have address or phone #. It's just piece of paper.!!

BPA certificate issuer don't take any responsibility!! 

If BPA cert don't take any liability if it's FAKE or FORGERY then what's the use.!!

It's written on BPA cert that "neither the company nor the members of the expert committe can accept any liablility, either collective or individual for any opinion expressed."

What do you think?

Why it matters ?

It matters because some unknown new collector who will buy FAKE or FORGERY stamps if they see all this kind of pricing and BPA cert.

Also some stamp collectors are involved in advising other new collectors  to buy this kind of FAKE or Forgery stamps.

MY EXPERT OPINION IS ALL FAKE, FORGERY OR BOGUS.!! (You don't have to believe in me like EXPERT CERT.!!)

So now what do you think about Mauritius Queen Victoria 1854 stamps with BPA cert and eBay transaction ?

Is this genuine stamps ?

Is this BPA cert has any value?

Did eBay got commission? (or buyer did not paid and seller open case with eBay to refund the commission).

So now forget about CA tax or federal tax as this transaction never happened ?

Queen Victoria stamp - David Brandon Expert Certificate - UK capital gain tax on stamp collection.

Recently I saw 1895 Indian stamp of Queen Victoria stamp  with overprint British East Africa - 1895-96 O/P Type 9 on QV 3r (rupees) stamp sold for $3048.!!

We know how easy is to make overprint stamp and claim it is unique and rare.

We know forgery and BOGUS (never exist) stamp are made with overprint and try to cheat seller.

Click following is BOGUS stamp which was sold for $225000.with expert certificate.!!  (It's a common practice in stamp collection.!!)

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

But this  Indian stamp of Queen Victoria stamp with overprint British East Africa - 1895-96 O/P Type 9 on QV 3r (rupees) stamp sold for $3048 by seller "stampedia" from UK.

It's good for UK government as they will get CAPITAL GAIN TAX from this stamp. (20-30%)

Also UK government will get VAT from this  Queen Victoria stamp with overprint British East Africa - 1895-96. (15-20%)

Also new eBay stock investor will see this as potential oppurntuity to buy eBay stock/shares, because eBay will get 10% from this transaction.!!

Also PayPal will get 2-3% if it was used to complete transaction.!!

So lot of money is flowing from this one stamp to all of them including seller who will get 50% after all the commission to eBay, Capital GAIN tax and VAT.

you decide whether this is genuine or forgery or bogus by
looking margin on sides, type of overprint etc.

Do you think all of them (UK treasury, UK VAT dept, eBay) got money from this sale of QV stamp ?

or

Buyer did not paid and seller cancel transaction.?

So we are not sure.

But you and me are thinking QV stamp sold for $3000.!!

You and me are thinking QV stamp with overprint British East Africa is rare stamp.!!

Ebay shareholders are thinking their stock is good investment because it's getting lot of money from this kind of transaction.!!

Some rich people will be motivated by stamp dealer to invest in stamps by showing this.!!

Some blog writer, newspaper will make it more famous after looking this QV stamps sold for $3000.!!

Also seller has to pay for this David Brandon Expert Certificate so seller can make sure to buyer it's Genuine.

Seller can avoid paying to David Brandon Expert Committe by creating new expert committe of his own.!!

Yes any one can give expert certificate. No formal education or degree needed to give Expert Certificate. Also there is no university who give education for Expertising stamp.!!

Also you need to make sure that there are lot of forgery expert certificate or BOGUS expert certificate is available in market.

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 ?

So you can save some money and don't look fool or idiot.!!

B.P.A Expertising Certificate - INDIA 1992 BIRDS of PREY, " ERROR OF CENTURY " BPA CERT FORGERY or Genuine ?

You all know from my previous blog post that all this Expertising certificate has no value because they don't take any responsibility.!!

They don't take any liability if their opinion is wrong.!!

They only give opinion like me.!! ( After comparining with other India Birds of Prey stamp to me it looks like forgery.!! I have added past auction so you can compare yourself !)

So what all this means. ?

That if you buy forgery item with expert certificate you don't get any money back.!!

Recently I saw B.P.A Expertising Certificate of  India 1992 Birds of Prey stamp, " ERROR OF CENTURY " selling for $15000.!!

In past I saw this kind of forgery of    INDIA 1992 BIRDS of PREY, " ERROR OF CENTURY " selling for $1!!

But without B.P.A Expertising Certificate

This B.P.A Expertising Certificate don't have any contact information such as office address, phone #, registration # with country etc..!!

Also no logo on this B.P.A Expertising Certificate.

So how can you believe this kind of B.P.A Expertising Certificate is genuine.

If you compare you will think it's forgery stamp.

Even forgery of expertising certificate are done.

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

Even you can create your own. ( no formal education needed to be expert.!! anyone can be Expertiser). Like me.

http://uspaexpertising.blogspot.com/2014/04/what-is-stamp-expertising.html

So now how can you believe this B.P.A Expertising Certificate -  INDIA 1992 BIRDS of PREY, " ERROR OF CENTURY " is genuine.

It's selling from $15000 by ebay seller "alman999" from Taiwan.!!

How this stamp reach to Taiwan ? . Don't you think it should be from India.!!

Do you think it's stolen from India Post & Telegraph printing press of it's FORGERY ?

Do you really think it's selling from Taiwan or someone open account with FAKE country location.!!

Following are other auction in past of India error stamp 1992 Birds of Prey from "posthedge" , "vivistamp2009", "kemiflygirl113", "alman999".

Do you think all of them paid Capital Gain Tax, USA Federal Income Tax (Taiwan) , State Tax (California and Illinois), Local Sales Tax etc on following sale ?

Or it's a FAKE transaction ?

So what do you think about this B.P.A Expertising Certificate -  INDIA 1992 BIRDS of PREY, " ERROR OF CENTURY " BPA CERT. ?

Stamp Expertising Certificate - Penny Black - Queen Victoria stamps - Forgery stamps selling as Genuine ?

The Penny Black is Queen Victoria stamp was the world's first adhesive postage stamp used in a public postal system. It first was issued in Great Britain on 1 May 1840, for official use from 6 May of that year.

Look at following stamps and can you make any difference. One is forgery and other is genuine.

Genuine might be forgery also.!!

It's very hard to make difference because it's easy to print the stamps in some eastern European countries.!!

One was sold for $7000 and one is selling for $6.!!

Following are Forgery stamps which as sold for $5-6 as replica stamps or facsimile stamps. Now you just buy it and you can  start selling as genuine.!!

To make it more genuine start SHILL bidding.!! (Create another id and bid on it.!!)

Shill bidding will also increase price and # of bidders and # of bids so new collectors who are not aware of this tricks or technique will think it's really worth it to invest in stamps as lot of bidders are bidding it.!!

If SHILL bidding win auction then seller will open case with ebay to avoid to pay commission.

So what do you think selling above Replica stamps (Forgery stamps) as GENUINE and make lot of money !!

Don't you think you can sell it for $7000 like following and make money on this kind of replica stamps.

Click following link to read more about that $7000 selling of Penny Black.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2016/03/penny-black-gb-1840-stamps-of-queen.html

But you can still make lot of money if you can come up with Expertising Certificate.

It's not that hard to make one.

i.e. print one with any name and address.

There is no expertising of expertization certificate!!

I created one for myself for BOGUS (never existed) philatelic material and declare it as GENUINE.!!



Click to read how to get Stamp Expertising Certificate.

http://uspaexpertising.blogspot.com/2014/04/what-is-stamp-expertising.html

Want to know how much you can make with Experitization Certificate then see following images.

You will be surprised .!!

Penny Black stamp philatelic material selling from $127000, $92000,  $67000 with BPA Expert Certificate.!!

BPA Expert Certificate are same like USPA Expert Certificate.!!

Let me make sure any one can print stamp EXPERT Certificate. You don't need to forged, Just print it and fill the details.

Even stamp Expert Certificate are forged or printed with some famous stamp expert society.!!

Following are two stamp expertization certificate which were FORGED by using photoshop and remove the original content of The Royal Philatelic Society Expert committe issued certificate and reused it for BOGUS special cancellation for Round Table Conference and Gandhi SERVICE stamp from India which never issued.

I think Expert Certificate is best way to make any BOGUS stamps or philatelic material as GENUINE.!!

Same way I did with Germany 2009 Special Cancellation philatelic material.!!

So can you make some money by selling Penny Black.!!

But make sure you still have to pay Capital Gain Tax, Sales Tax, VAT etc even though forgery stamps are sold as genuine because government cares about gain on selling price.!!!

The First Aerial Post: Hendon to Windsor & Windsor to Hendon

Recently I saw  First Aerial Mail movie which carried mail from Hendon to Windsor & Windsor to Hendon on September 9th, 1911.

There is a proof that it was actually flown so we can believe it. A movie of First Aerial Mail.

http://www.britishpathe.com/video/first-aerial-air-mail-post

Make sure you watch this movie. It's interesting to see.

Did you notice how much interest was their to see the first air mail in UK with lot of people watching on both ends.!!

But as per philatelic exhibit's, philatelic handbooks and blogs etc,  Hendon to Windsor was NOT first aerial mail.

It was from India.!! (LOL).

Don't you think it's a JOKE.!!

Reason for this is a JOKE because it was impossible to think flying a plane in India at that time and they were flying airmail.!!

It was  from Allahabad, India which was flown on Feb 18th, 1911.

But to me it's nothing but BOGUS. (never flown).

Reason for my opinion about this First Aerial mail is BOGUS because of following

• Allahabad is not near sea or ocean, so it will be hard to transport plane to Allahabad. I can understand Calcutta or Bombay, but Allahabad is 1000+ miles away from ocean.
• There is no proof (like movie or pictures) that it was flown except this magenta rubber stamp.!! 
• Also there were no people watching this event but 6500 covers were flown!! Even if they fly today (in 2016) there will be lot of people to just see airplane.!!
• Out of 6500 covers there might be 500-1000 people watching this historic event.
• Now compare following two CDS and think whether it make sense that First Aerial Mail from Allahabad is genuine or BOGUS(never exist, so need to create forgery). Even Hendon to Windsor was flown after Allahabad, CDS was not creativity at all.!!

Why UK did not used similar creative rubber stamp with airplane as Allahabad First Aerial Mail and color during First Aerial Post from Hendon to Windsor with airplane.

• Date is missing in Allahabad CDS. 
• Color is magenta which was never heard, during that time in India as well as other countries on postal cancellation.
• Also look at creativity on rubber stamp in 1911.!! A airplane on CDS.!! Don't you think it was NOT possible in 1911  in India.!!
• To me it look like cachet instead of CDS which is wrongly applied on stamps.!!

After looking and thinking about my points what do you think ?

To me it look complete bogus but  as per AERO Philatelist it's one of kind and rare item.!!

Now let's compare value of this  The First Aerial Post from Hendon to Windsor & Windsor to Hendon was sold for $25, where as Allahabad First Aerial mail is selling from $600 - $3500.!!

But as per articles and exhibit around the world this was not first aerial mail flown.

But if you see this are selling for high price with BPA expertizing certificate (certificate just give opinion but not take any responsibility).

Following First Aerial Post was for sell on eBay by seller "stamp_bay" for $3500.!!

So how you can believe this was actually flown without any proof.!!

Yes it is highly marketed by donating to Philatelic museum, Handbook, stamp exhibit etc but without proof we can't believe it.

Following are some of my previous blog post which will explain my research on First Aerial Post, so after reading you will get idea about FALSE HOPE OF RICHES.!!

The World's First Official Aerial Post, 1911 - How to make money on eBay - eBay don't care about Forgery or BOGUS .!!

First Air Mail Post - Forgery of BOGUS (never existed).!!

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.!!

FIRST AERIAL POST : INDIAN PHILATELY EXPOSED - PART III

So after comparing from Hendon to Windsor and Allahabad First Aerial Mail and reading above blog posts what do you think ?

Will you spend $3500 on this First Aerial Mail from Allahabad or will spend $25 on  The First Aerial Post: Hendon to Windsor & Windsor to Hendon .!!

Thanks
GSC

BTW: Instead of $3500 want to spend less than buy it for $1200 or $600.!!
