First Flight covers - FFC

Looking at the current pricing trends and to me it looks like no one collects First Flight Covers or everyone is aware of FORGERY or BOGUS philatelic material in first flight covers or first airmail covers or first aerial post in aero philately.

Click following link to read about Forged Aero Philately cover before you read about this blog about  Gandhi First Flight covers - FFC.

First Flight covers are nothing but cheating as they were never flown on First Flight or made with forged rubber stamp of both sides.!!

Majority of them are forged using rubber stamp or never flown.

As you know all know that Germany is famous for FORGED Rubber stamp  and chances of Gandhi First Flight Covers or Gandhi FFC  are also forged.

So don't you think Lufthansa First Flight Cover or LH FF cover.!! Lufthansa is from Germany and all forgery cancellation are from Germany.!!!

Following is one of the famous 2009 Gandhi related forged rubber stamp from Winnenden, Germany issued on International Non Violence Day.

So if they can make it in 2009 they can  do it in 1969 or 1970 and god knows what happen during that time.!!

Also you might be aware of BLUM Case from Germany were there 650+ forged rubber stamp.
Click following link to read more about BLUM case and OPEN YOUR EYES.!! There are 650 forged rubber stamps from Germany  and think about chances of forged from INDIA or China or any other countries.!!

Now look at the following rubber stamps from Calcutta, India or Damascus, Syria or Tehran, Iran and Santiago, Chile  and think what are chances of forgery like BLUM case.

And that's the reason price is $5 or $10 even after 45+ years.!!

Does it make sense to invest in First Flight covers - FFC  with Gandhi stamps.!!

Think REALITY instead of all visionary and imagination.!!

India Stamps : Gandhi Stamps Khadi Indipex : Look where is pricing of Gandhi stamps after one year.!!! Another example of Collapse in Stamp collecting hobby.!!!

By Ketankumar Patel.

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

In January I wrote blog post about Collapse in Stamp Collection and I think this blog post will further strengthen your view on that. If you don't have read my previous blog post about collapse in stamp collection then following is the link.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/01/togo-gandhi-stamps-collapse-of-stamp.html

One year ago India issued 100,000 (One Lakh or Hundred thousand or 0.1 million) Gandhi stamp on  Khadi(Cotton Cloth) with presentation folder. It was sold only in presentation folder for 250 Rupees ($5 appr.) and actual stamp value is 100 Rupees ($2 appr.)

Recently this presenatation folder with khadi stamp (including presenatation folder) was  sold for under $3.50.!!

One year ago stamp collectors were eager to get this Khadi stamp in a presentation folder, thinking value of this stamp will increase tremendously like 10 Rupees 1948 Gandhi stamp, but if you see current price of this folder then you will surprised that what's going in philately hobby. 

Following screenshot will give you idea what kind of hype was one year ago to get this stamp.

http://www.sify.com/news/khadi-stamp-on-mahatma-gandhi-huge-crowdpuller-at-postal-expo-news-national-lcmr4dfcagi.html

Now after one year it is selling under face value.!! for 2.20 UK Pounds ($3.49)

Do you think price of this folder will ever appreciate as there is huge quantity in stock with all collectors thinking that price of this stamp will appreciate like 1948  10 Rupees stamp.!!

Look at following screen shot and you can't beleive that 3 Gandhi Khadi Presentation folder with Khadi Stamp in a sheet sold only  $2.38, $3.17 and $3.49.!! where as face value of this was $5 in 2011.!!!

Recently I saw large quantity of this khadi stamp in presentation folder for sale for $6.!! Can't believe it.  Not sure whether it will still reduce but looking to world wide trend in stamp collection hobby and 100,000 khadi stamp issued I think chances are it will go BELOW face value by 20-40% because it will be smart to sell it at lower price and invest some other item where margin will be higher and quantity will be less.

Also you will see large quantity of this presentation folder is available for sale in wholesale (17 & 22 pieces).!! In past I had also seen 100 pieces for sale!!

Now you decide where value of this stamp will go.!!

What are your feelings about pricing of this MS + Presentation folder. 

After reading this blog post and looking to following screen shot of recently sold Gandhi stamps from Suriname, Morocco, Syria, Bhutan, Egypt and Grenada don't you think stamp collection hobby is already collapsed.!!

From above screenshot you can see Gandhi stamps are selling for under $1.!! after 40+ years. It looks like no one is interested.!!

No one is even buying this beautiful sheet issued by Mauritius with 6 stamps of Gandhi  in 1969 for under 99 cents.!!

Again thanks for reading and  please share your thoughts in the comments section

Thanks

1948 Indian Gandhi stamps used in Tibet 
Nepal Indian Embassy Cancellation on 1948 Gandhi Stamps
Early usage of 1948 Gandhi stamps
FAKE 1948 Gandhi stamp FDC from India.
Gandhi SERVICE stamp is it REAL or FAKE?

Gandhi stamp value declining.!! KAMERUN - Cameroon - Cameroun Gandhi - Ghandi stamp, Syria Gandhi Stamp, Somalia Ghandi stamp

Recently I notice that there is stiff decline in demand of Gandhi stamp, which eventually is declining the price.

Today there were 7-8 Gandhi stamps were sold on ebay at very low price which was surpising me. I was thinking that 1969 stamps from Somalia, Syria & Cameroun - Kamerun are very rare stamps available in the market but this not a case.

Following is the price of sold item
GANDHI DU CAMEROUN 2 STAMP 1969 - 1.60 GBP

Gandhi SOMALIA 3 STAMPS 1969 -- 2.21 GBP

GANDHI SYRIAN TWO STAMPS 1969 -- 1.20 GBP.

Above screenshoot will make you start thinking about what's in this Gandhi Philately going on.!!

This is because of global economy meltdown effect or by better understanding of dealers and reseller.?
