Hello Gandhi Collectors,
In 1969 Malta honored Mahatma Gandhi by issuing stamp of him. This is also one of the best designed stamp issued in 1969.
Malta officially known as the Republic of Malta, is a Southern European country consisting of an archipelago situated in the centre of the Mediterranean, 93 km south of Sicily and 288 km east of Tunisia, with the Strait of Gibraltar 1,826 km to the west and Alexandria 1,510 km to the east.
What amazed me is that after 42 years this stamp price is not appreciating at all. If you see my following screenshot you will get idea what is the current selling price of Gandhi Stamp from Malta.
Stamp was NOT even sold for $0.41(41 cents).!!! That's amazing. It indicates me that there is enough for everyone.!!
Even FDC was sold for very low price. It was sold for $1, $3 and $4. If you see FDC has very good cachet of India flag, final resting place of Mahatma Gandhi "Raj Ghat" & Map of Malta and where as other has flag of India and Gandhi face on cachet.
Not sure why such a low value of Mahatma Gandhi Philatelic items.!! Looks like Gandhi Stamp is not for investment at all.
So again buyer please do necessary research before buying in bidding war with some shill bidder who is trying to increase value of it's collection or increasing value of their own selling item or helping their friends to increase selling price.
