Stamps! All kinds of stamps!
As for how many pictures there are, that's not a problem. Fan Wubing roughly estimated it, and it looked like two kilograms.
Fan Wubing looked through it and found that many stamps were used here, but there were more new ones. This discovery made him very strange.
Generally speaking, before the end of *, everyone's income was generally very low. Except for a few rich people, few people specially collected so many stamps. Although the face value of ordinary stamps is eight cents, it seems to be really cheap now, but you should know that at that time, you could buy four pancakes. If it weren't for communication, who would have bought so many stamps?
The father of the three Wang brothers was said to have been a professor at Agricultural University before the Anti-Rightist Movement. His income was naturally higher than that of ordinary people, but he did not have the ability to collect so many new stamps. You should know that many of the stamps here are unpublished misprints, such as the thick stack of "soldiers" stamps. For this set of stamps, Fan Wubing has long been famous for his reputation.
In 1953, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Communications of the People's Liberation Army agreed that in order to preferentially send free letters from soldiers, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications decided to issue a set of "Soldiers Stamps". There are three stamps, which are used for ordinary letters, registrations, and air mail posts. The pattern is mainly pictured with the "August 1" military emblem, with words such as "Soldiers Stamps", "Chinese People's Posts" and face value of 800 yuan (old coins). There are three stamps in total, the first one is orange and used for army posts; the second one is purple and used for air force posts; the third one is blue and used for naval posts. After this stamp was sent to various military regions, it was found that the scope of use was difficult to control. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications decided to stop issuing, but some post offices sold them in advance in violation of regulations. Because the outflow volume is very small, especially the "Blue Military Posts" is only about 100, it has become a rare treasure among New China stamps!
Fan Wubing vaguely remembered that at the auction, the low price of a new Blue Army Post was 800,000!
But I am afraid that there are less than a hundred Blue Army Mails I hold now? What's going on?
There is another set of stamps that are commemorative stamps of "The 35th Anniversary of the Great Soviet October Revolution", which is also a misprint. The whole set of four tickets was also issued in 1953, but they were reclaimed due to the incorrect name. Although they are not as valuable as Blue Army Post, the auction price is about 150,000 yuan.
The most common type is the third special stamp of "Beijing Scenic Spots", with a face value of 80 cents, and the Tiananmen Square in the picture shines brightly. This set of stamps was issued in 1956. The original third one was not issued due to an error mark. Later, the auction price of one new ticket was about 300,000 yuan.
Fan Wubing became more and more frightened the more he saw it. Why are these stamps all wrongly written stamps? Could it be that Professor Wang is also a guy who has been reborn from time to time?
After continuing to look down, Fan Wubing discovered a problem. The misprinted stamps and new stamps here were basically from before 1958. Although there were many stamps afterwards, they were rarely of collection value. They were all used stamps with postmarks. It was obvious that most of them were from used envelopes. Although they were well processed, they were still old stamps.
At the bottom of the package, there was actually a letter. The recipient was indeed Wang Bingchuan, the father of the three Wang brothers. The name of the sender was not written out, but it was just a very sloppy and difficult to identify.
Although Fan Wubing is not very interested in Professor Wang's private message, the letter is wrapped layer by layer, or there may be any secrets inside. Could it be that this guy is really a dangerous person?
My heartbeats pounding, Fan Wubing's curiosity is even more intense, so he finally decided to open it and take a look.
The letter paper has turned yellow, but the ink on it is still very clear, enough to identify it. The handwriting is very elegant, like a woman's writing, and her tone is very gentle. After reading it, I realized that it was a letter of breaking up with friendship.
Only then did Fan Wubing understand the origin of these stamps. Teacher Wang liked to collect stamps during his lifetime. One of his private girlfriends happened to be a staff member who was in charge of the issuance of stamps in the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Therefore, there were misprints to be destroyed, or some rare stamps. He would always find ways to make some for him. He knew that he was labeled as a rightist after 1958, and the relationship between the two became cold. Professor Wang had never mentioned these things to anyone. Naturally, his three sons didn't know, let alone his father had collected so many stamps, and he didn't know how valuable these stamps would be in the future.
With the letter paper, there were also several stamps to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Jinggangshan meeting, a total of four. The patterns were * and * in Tiananmen Square (commonly known as "big blue sky"). The Jinggangshan meeting, *quotations and * poems, and the face value were eight cents. Later, it was not issued for some reason, so all the stamps were destroyed. However, the first picture "big blue sky" was still leaked, thus becoming the most precious stamp in New China, with the auction price reaching 1.8 million yuan.
The remaining stamps are difficult to count. There are many stamps that Fan Wubing has never seen before. As Fan Wubing looked at them, he couldn't help feeling a little shaken. As long as he handled it properly, in another ten or eight years, the value of these stamps will definitely be hundreds of millions! And there is room for value-added!
"It's so terrible that it's not cultured!" Fan Wubing couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the three Wang brothers Kong in Baoshan.
Professor Wang also blamed this matter. He had collected so many precious stamps, but even if he could not reflect the value now, he had been working hard for decades. However, for face, he did not tell his sons, so that the three brothers didn't know that there was such a thing at all. He really didn't know what to say.
But then again, although some people collect stamps now, there are very few. When people have not settled down, how can they have such artful leisure and leisure when their stomach problems are not settled? The market for stamps has not been hyped up yet. Even if they take out these stamps, they will only attract the first prize and attract countless attention. The money cannot be sold much.
Alas! Fifty yuan is exchanged for hundreds of millions of income! Fan Wubing was very uneasy. The value of the two kilograms of stamps in his hand was far greater than all the rags he collected!
