Chapter 117: Nima Is Really Missing (Ask for Subscription)
Andy looked at the comic strips in his hands that were protected by transparent bags, and he really had mixed feelings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After all, he happened to be exposed to this kind of comic book when he was a child in his previous life, and the first villain book he read at that time was "The Kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", a set of fifty copies, which was to be rented at that time, for a dime, and "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", at that time, there was no Journey to the West TV series, and villain books were his favorite reading.
Villain books are a kind of feeling for those born in the 80s, and people born in the mid-80s will also have an impression, but they don't know how to cherish them at that time, and when they slowly disappear into their lives, they don't care.
When these villain books showed their value, they beat their chests, because at that time, they probably had villain books worth tens of thousands of copies in their hands.
Andy looked at the villain book in the wooden box, and had a feeling of being in a different world, there is no "Eastern Zhou Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" here, a set of 60 volumes of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with at least 9 appearances, there is no shortage of one, even the most difficult to collect "Zhuge Liang Crossing Lushui", "Burning the Company Camp", "Liu Bei Zhengwu" There are, Andy doesn't know what the stall owner's grandfather does, but Andy really knows this set of comic books, after knowing that the comic books are worth money in his previous life, he also collected them, but unfortunately he didn't stick to it, because it was too expensive and time-consuming.
This set of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was gradually published by the Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House from 1957 to 1961, respectively by Zhu Guangyu and others, well, Andy knew a Zhu Guangyu, more than 30 painters painted. In 2008, there were only five sets of the Three Kingdoms with a condition of 9 or more, which shows its preciousness.
Although the 16 copies of "Dream of Red Mansions" are worth only 1,000 yuan, one of them, "Daiyu Burning Manuscripts", is worth 350 yuan, and the key is not how much it is worth, but its rarity.
There must be many people who have read the comic book "Railway Guerrilla" and "Gunfire on the Plains", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and "Chicken Feather Letter" It is better to go back and find it, if it is in good condition, it can really be sold for money, because a copy of "Chicken Feather Letter" is worth 500,000...
The "Water Margin" in the wooden box is also the darling of the Celestial Empire collection circle, but this series of complete sets except for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not as valuable as the set of rice paper version of "Great Changes in the Mountains and Towns" in Andy's hand, and the three volumes of "Great Changes in the Mountains and Towns" drawn by the famous painter He Youzhi were published in 1978, and someone once bid more than 80,000 yuan to buy a set of 9.5 quality.
Andy sighed lightly in his heart, if the old man who collected these villain books knew that his grandson had sold these things as old books, would he be angry.
As for having Andy tell the stall owner the value of these things... Well, you think too much, Andy is not a virgin, he is a bastard if he is cheap and doesn't make money, especially in the antique industry, eyesight is fundamental, and he can only admit that he is unlucky, and it is better to die if he doesn't pick it up.
Andy closed the box, brought the stack of newspapers in front of him, and asked, "How much do you sell these two items?"
Stephen looked at Andy a little tangled, he really didn't know the value, but looking at Andy's expression when he asked him just now, these villain books still had some value, and he said with apprehension: "2000... $1000 is enough, after all, it is something that my grandfather has treasured for a long time, and I think it is a little valuable... β
Andy had no expression on his face, he didn't care about Stephen's voice getting smaller and smaller, he took out a bundle of dollars from his pants pocket, pointed out 2,000 dollars and handed it to Stephen, who was already a little stunned, "These villain books are a bit collectible, although some are not valuable, but they can be preserved so well, and they are not easy to find, your grandfather is a real collector, because this is not a price that can be measured, this is a feeling." β
Andy's words moved Stephen very much, and the beautiful knife in his hand was also very satisfied, well, Andy's heart is now so beautiful that he doesn't want it, because of the price of a set of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"... It's about 1 million US dollars.
Black, too dark.
Of course, this price is the highest possible price at the auction of the Celestial Empire, but in the Three Kingdoms in the 50s, it could be sold for at least 3 million RMB.
This is a big leak, Andy is so satisfied with today's harvest, and when he was about to beckon Joseph to come forward and help him get it, he heard Stephen say: "Sir, I have some things here, you can see if you are interested... β
This time it's a small iron box.,Andy was speechless.,Open the tin box.,There's a big stack of them inside.γγγ Telegraph.
Andy carefully looked at them one by one, most of them were in traditional Chinese, from Xinhai, to the Central Plains War, Zhang Shaoyan's change of flag, and then to the bald anti-Japanese declaration, all of which were included one by one, which has great historical significance.
"How can I say it... You say this thing is valuable, it's a little, it's not too much to say it's waste paper, although it's a bit clichΓ© to measure it with money, but it's also the most intuitive, this thing is not worth much... Andy put the telegrams in the tin box, closed them, and reached out to hand them back to Stephen.
Stephen looked at the expression on Andy's face a little suspiciously, and found that he didn't seem to be lying, so he couldn't help but sigh secretly, sure enough, although his grandfather likes to collect, he only collects some cheap things, after all, the economy does not allow it.
"Sir, look at it and buy it for some money, I don't think many people here will understand the value of these things. β
Andy withdrew his hand and pulled a hundred dollars from his pants pocket, "It's really not easy to collect these things, your grandfather is a respectable man." β
"Thank you, to be able to meet such a knowledgeable buyer, I think my grandfather would be happy in heaven ... β
Looking at Stephen and looking at himself with a grateful face, Andy really has a kind of, this kid is too... It's so cute, silly cute.
"How much do you want to sell this plaque?" asked Andy before leaving.
"You said this... This thing is already broken and not decent.,Originally, my mother wanted to chop it up as firewood.,Put it in the fireplace and burn it.,It's not like I'm coming to the flea market.,Just bring it to see if you can sell it.,After all, the Heavenly Dynasty characters on this should be very good.γγγ β
Andy looked at the other party's more and more unconfident looks, and really felt sad for the old man who died, couldn't he tell him what his collection was before he died?
Well, this broken plaque is indeed not worth a few dollars, but Andy asked with hope, with this plaque, will there be other valuable things, after all, this is also a plaque of the Qianlong Dynasty, so maybe the old man will collect other antiques at the same time when he collects this plaque.
Andy thought it was beautiful, but unfortunately there was nothing with this plaque, he looked at the stall again, and found that the stall owner's grandfather collected most of the books and newspapers from the Republic of China, Andy picked a few more from it, and spent another hundred dollars with the broken plaque.
Kenny and Joseph looked at Andy with a smile a little speechless, they really didn't understand the boss buying these rags, in fact, to be honest, the flea market here has good things, but it's a pity that Andy doesn't know how to appreciate treasures, although even if he is eye-catching, he can't lose a few dollars, but Andy is self-aware, since he knows that he can't distinguish between truth and falsehood, then honestly change what he knows, and if he doesn't know how to pretend to understand and has to collect, then it's really stupid.
This time it was Joseph who pushed the trailer to deliver the rags back to the car, you can't always let Kenny go, the bodyguard is not a servant, people help you is a friendship, protecting you is someone else's job, doing odd jobs is not included in the scope of bodyguard work, fortunately, Andy and Joseph, Kenny got along for a few months, and it was still very pleasant. There's nothing reluctant to do some work for Andy, after all, it's really easy to protect Andy, and Andy doesn't like to go to some messy bars or nightclubs, which is really much easier for their work.
Or Kenny follows Andy from afar, Andy is like a curious baby, looking left and right, of course, some rags and other things he avoids, mainly to see something with a long history.
Passing by a stall, Andy was a little surprised to find three Celestial Empire people in suits, why did they know that they were Celestial Empire people? Because the three of them were bargaining with the stall owner for a painting.
The three of them seemed to be very dissatisfied with the price said by the stall owner, Andy stepped forward to take a look, it was a yellowed landscape painting vertical scroll, Andy didn't understand, just listened to the meaning of these people, this painting has no clear generation, it is not clear whose handwriting it is, and the payment is not very easy to distinguish, the stall owner, is a Chinese, seems to be a connoisseur, gritted his teeth and did not let go, saying that this painting is from the Qing Dynasty, it is a treasure, and the price is 100,000 US dollars.
The three Celestial Empire people seem to have come to Los Angeles specifically to Taobao, Andy was a little surprised, after all, the Celestial Empire's Taobao army will only go to various countries after 08 years, and the world's scattered money to buy back the lost national treasures, I didn't expect to be able to meet it now.
Andy's eyes couldn't help but light up, these three people must be very knowledgeable, otherwise they wouldn't have been entangled with this stall owner for so long, but I don't know if it's a trust, such a bureau is rotten in the Celestial Empire, Andy is very entangled.
As things developed, Andy was sure that they were not liars, well, the three of them really took out the money to buy the painting, but not 100,000 US dollars, but 50,000 yuan, Andy really couldn't laugh or cry.
I don't know what age and the author's painting scroll was packed up by the three of them in a cylinder, it seems to be very careful, Andy can only look at it, some common sense in the antique world he still knows through some books of the starting point god, when others talk about the transaction, it is not possible to insert a bar, Lao Mei does not understand, but his soul is a celestial person.
Besides, what if it's fake? 50,000 yuan is not money! Andy can only comfort himself like this.
