Judging from the aesthetic value of stamps, many stamps are plain or even ugly in design, but the price remains high, just because the circulation is small or the dealers are speculating.
In a commemorative sense, some stamps have good themes, but in order to make more money, the postal department issues too many stamps, the face value is too high and the packaging is too high. As a result, a table of good dishes stinks, such as the gold-plated list of 1997.
From the price point of view, if a set of stamps is recognized as valuable, it has basically reached its due price; And if many people haven't realized its value, do you think you can find it? Monkey tickets were discounted for some time in the 1980s. Do you think you can see its future potential when everyone was not optimistic at that time?
The price of new tickets is indeed much higher than that of letter tickets, but in the eyes of real collectors,
Those beautifully packaged things in the post office counter, such as Olympiad, limited edition collector's edition,
It is naturally meaningful to sell mail tickets without normal use.
To know the price of a stamp, you only need to buy a price list.
To know its value, you have to ask yourself whether you like it or not.
How to judge the value of stamps? If you have the following China stamps in your collection, then the stamps in your collection have the most collection value and appreciation potential:
1, sent for a long time. For example, before the founding of New China, there were many stamps in Qing Dynasty, Republic of China and Liberated Areas, while after the founding of New China, there were many old stamps and "Cultural Revolution" stamps, which had high collection value.
2. The circulation is small. For example: 1980, the first set of stamps for the Year of the Monkey in New China;
The historical background of this problem is special. Such as: stamps during the "Cultural Revolution" in New China;
4. Major errors discovered and recovered after issuance. Such as: "The whole country is red" stamps, etc. ;
5. Early New China Sheetlet. Such as Mei Lanfang sheetlet;
6. The subject matter is popular and the circulation is small. Such as: "Xu Beihong's Painting-Running Horse";
7. 199 1 year ago J and T ticket sheetlet. Such as "Yunnan Camellia" sheetlet.
8.199/kloc-0 won the best stamp award years ago. Such as: 1990 best stamp award "Han xizai's Night Banquet" and so on.
9. The new stamps recently issued in limited quantities are not found in general yearbooks. Such as: "Andersen's fairy tale sticker with text (small version ticket)" and so on;
……
In addition, the value of stamps can be measured from the following aspects:
1, stamp quality. Measure whether stamps are collectible? Appearance is the key. Without good looks, the value of old stamps will be greatly reduced.
2. Full set of stamps. Collecting stamps requires a full set of stamps, and the collection value will be greatly reduced;
3. Theme and design of stamps. Good themes and exquisite designs will attract the attention of many stamp collectors and non-stamp collectors. As the saying goes, the more people collect, the less the market transaction volume and the higher the price.
4. Number of stamps left in the world. Stamps with small circulation and great losses in postal communication generally have high collection value.
I suggest you arrange your stamps carefully according to the relevant philatelic materials and stamp catalogue. Classify stamps according to date of issue, appearance, set and theme. Then log on to the website about selling stamps and check the market reference price of your stamps, so that you can roughly estimate the value of your stamps.
