Comber himself knew very well that it was a letter he had written to his wife, and life was quite difficult at that time.

"It's an ordinary letter, right?" Zhou Yun wondered, feeling that Zhao Tianming was not very reliable this time.

Zhao Tianming carefully took down the stamps on the envelope and said: "The valuable thing is not the envelope and stationery, but this stamp." It's relatively small in existence, and it's rare and expensive, understand?"

Zhou Yun suddenly brightened, just now I didn't think of stamps.

Isn't it true that philately is also very popular in society now? Some stamps, I heard that they are quite valuable, have a huge army of philatelic collectors, and collect stamps as an interest.

Zhao Tianming looked at the stamp in his hand, the pattern of the stamp is the morning view of Tiananmen Square, the sun rises in the east, and the light is shining.

He pointed to the light on the stamp and said, "This light is direct, which is not too comfortable for people to see, because the mimeograph effect is not good." It is in this way that before the stamp was issued, some people raised objections and recalled the stamp. ”

Eventually, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications decided to stop issuing the stamp and withdraw it.

However, because some provinces have already sold out in advance, even if they are later recycled, a small amount still flows into the private sector, about six or seven hundred.

It is precisely because of this that this stamp is particularly precious, and it has been frantically sought after by philatelic enthusiasts, and the auction price has even reached 300,000 yuan.

"It's a pity that this stamp is not well preserved, and the quality is a little different, and it is a little yellow, which greatly affects its value. If it is shot, it should be around 200,000. Zhao Tianming said.

"Two hundred thousand?" Zhou Yun couldn't help but exclaim.

A small stamp, or in poor condition, can be sold for 200,000 yuan? The philatelist's mind really makes people wonder how to spend so much money to collect a stamp?

Comber also shook his hand, it was really the price that scared him.

The face value of this stamp is eight cents. At that time, he was in the field, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I would never have dreamed that a stamp that I bought for eight cents at that time would become 200,000 today.

"Among the stamps, it is a rare stamp of the domestic level, but it is not the most expensive. The most expensive is the blue military stamp, which sold for more than two million in a year, and now there is no need to think about it. I heard that there are only twenty or thirty stamps in existence. ”

Zhou Yun and they were completely stunned, a stamp is millions, it's really unbelievable, it's crazy.

But no matter how scarce it is, it's still mimeographed on a piece of paper, and the cost is quite low, millions, what do bidders think?

"A single stamp worth more than 200,000 yuan is already quite rare, so it is not surprising that this is the charm of collecting. It is not for nothing that the collection fever can become popular. Zhao Tianming said to them.

"If you say that, I'm kind of trying to get some stamp collection and other appreciation. Zhou Yun was really a little moved.

"If that's the case, you'll have to pay attention. The stamp collection also has a lot of exquisiteness. Of course, it doesn't matter if you're just interested. If it is an investment appreciation, you must go back and learn some knowledge first. ”

For example, a flower paper head is a kind of printed matter that is actually a replica stamp wearing a stamp coat. Like ordinary stamps, they are printed with the name of the country, the design, the face value, and are perforated, and are generally postmarked. However, the face value of the flower paper head is a virtual number, not a real postage.

Most of these stamps are designed to be fancy, eye-catching, and printed on coated paper, which is easy to arouse the desire of philatelic enthusiasts.

In addition, commercial stamps should not be hidden. Most of the countries issuing this type of stamps are some African countries and small countries in the interior of Europe that take the issuance of stamps as their pillar industry, and their content is rich, the subject matter is wide, and the printing is exquisite. One of the most obvious characteristics of this type of stamp is that it is exported in large quantities, and export sales greatly exceed domestic demand.

As far as Zhao Tianming knows, such stamps have now become unpopular, and few people care about them, and they are also one of the places where stamp collectors are easy to get into.

Finally, there is a kind of gold and silver philatelic product.

The biggest feature of this kind of philatelic product is that it is often inlaid with gold and silver, which looks graceful and luxurious, which has also become its biggest selling point. At first, people saw the good packaging of this kind of philatelic products, and it was easy to equate it with rare stamps, and coupled with the vigorous praise of the words "limited edition" and "serial number" on the advertisement, they generously donated money.

And today, this kind of stamp is also not pleasant, and you must pay attention when collecting it.

He handed the stamp to Comber and told him to collect it first, so that he could not rush it. Such a rare stamp will still appreciate in a few years, which is much better than changing it for RMB now.

After all, the renminbi will only depreciate more and more, and the stamp will appreciate again.

Comber nodded hurriedly and put it away preciously, along with the letter. He thinks it's the luck that his wife brings. If I hadn't written a letter to my wife who hadn't been married for a long time, I wouldn't have the good luck I have today.

"Preferably, it's better to pack it in a box. Zhao Tianming reminded.

Anyway, it's moisture-proof, fireproof, and so on.

The structure of stamps is nothing more than paper + adhesive, clearance and JF area stamps and the paper used in the early days of liberation due to the constraints of conditions, the use of writing paper, newsprint, newspapers, etc., now stamps are used stamp paper, basically will not flow out.

This kind of thing, the most afraid is dampness and fire.

As long as it comes into contact with air, it will slowly turn yellow, unless it is stored in a vacuum. However, this slow overall yellowing, which is different from the macular caused by moisture, can still be regarded as a full product, while the macular ticket can only be called the top grade, and the price difference is huge.

"Inside, put a paper bag or something, and it's very safe. Zhao Tianming proposed.

Paper bags save stamps, first of all, they do not vacuum, and generally paper bags have a folded lid to isolate the channel for dust to enter. The most important thing is that the inner wall of the paper bag itself does not condense moisture, and the excess water emitted by the stamps is directly absorbed by the paper fibers of the paper bag.

"Okay, listen to you, little brother. Comber nodded immediately.

In addition, this stamp can't let others know, especially his youngest son, the rotten gambler.

He knew that he would really come and steal it in the middle of the night, and then use it for him to gamble.

"Look for it, are there any other letters, maybe there are stamps!" Zhou Yun was very enthusiastic.

This girl will always treat this society with kindness, which is why when she called, Zhao Tianming came out to help her without saying a word.

Just then, there was movement outside, and a familiar voice came in.

Comber hurriedly hid the stamps on his body, and Zhou Yun also gave Zhao Tianming a look.

"I understand!" Zhao Tianming nodded.
