Chapter five hundred and forty seventh stamp album

Speaking of which, there are more than ten families living in this courtyard. In Wu Fei and his generation, there is not even a single college student.

At least when Wu Fei was studying, no one in the Siheyuan was admitted to university. However, after everyone moved out of Siheyuan, Wu Fei didn't know much about it, and he didn't know if anyone had been admitted to university in the past few years.

When Wu Fei was studying, most of the books he left behind were novels and magazines, and none of the textbooks were left behind. So when Wu Fei saw the magazines in the box, he was not surprised at all.

After the smell in the box dissipated, Wu Fei squatted down and said, "Don't be disappointed. Are you thinking about really finding the treasure here? Let's take a look. What other things are there in this box besides novels and magazines."

"This book "Legend of the Contemporary and Ancient" is well preserved. There are three words in the cover of the first issue. Is it the first issue of this magazine?" Wu Fei found that one of the magazines actually had three words in the first issue. From the literal meaning, it should be the first issue of the magazine.

"These books should be of some use to put them aside." Wu Fei put aside several magazines of "Legends of the Ancient and Modern" aside and continued to flip through the box.

"Wu Fei, see what I found?" Wu Fei was taking the things in the box one by one, putting the things he thought were useful aside, and putting the useless ones separately. Kang Liu said to Wu Fei with a booklet.

Seeing the thing Kang Liu was holding, Wu Fei recognized it at a glance: "Isn't this a stamp album? I have one too. Why didn't I notice it just now? Look at what's inside."

In the next room, there was also a similar stamp album in Wu Fei's small box. In the first lunar month, Wu Fei took it out for Kang Liu to see it.

If the philatelic album in front of him was obviously much older than the one from Wu Fei, Wu Fei would have thought it would be his own philatelic.

However, it is not surprising to see the exact same philatelic album. In the whole county of Wu Fei and others, more than 90% of the philatelic albums that everyone owns are like this in front of them.

Anyway, since Wu Fei was in junior high school, when he graduated from high school, everyone's stamp albums were almost the same, with a black cover wrapped in a plastic cover.

"Let's take a look at what stamps are in this stitch album. If you encounter some precious stamps, it will be valuable."

However, when Wu Fei said this, he didn't think about it at all. He had collected philatelics for many years and had not collected a precious stamp. More than 90% of the stamps in the philatelic were torn off the envelope.

"The stamps on this page have been used. Look, there are also post office seals on it. This page is also the same as in my stamp album."

After turning a few pages in a row, the two of them found that the stamps in this philatelic were all very ordinary stamps, and all of them were used.

In fact, this is normal. At that time, everyone's conditions were not very good. They didn't have that much money to buy full-page stamps at the post office. They could only collect the used stamps on the envelopes.

When you find an envelope with stamps, you will carefully tear off the used stamps and put them in water to soak them.

After the glue on the stamp falls off, use a small tweezer to clip the stamp out and put it on a flat thing to dry the stamp before finally put it in the stamp album.

At that time, many people wrote and sent letters, and there were also many stamps like that. As long as they were not very picky about food, it was still easier to collect.

However, when Wu Fei started collecting stamps, the number of phone calls gradually increased, and fewer people wrote letters day by day. It was getting more and more difficult to find a satisfactory stamp.

Later, whenever I see a stamp, no matter what it looks like, I will first collect it into the stamp album and then talk about it, and then find an opportunity to communicate with others whether it is available or not.

When I was in high school, if I wanted stamps, I could only buy them at the post office or newspaper booth, which were usually done one by one.

"There is still a ten-dollar bill. I haven't seen this money for a long time. I remember that I used it when I was in elementary school or junior high school, but I rarely saw it later."

After turning over most of the stamp album, all the stamps in it were used. Wu Fei didn't know whether it was worth it or not.

Kang Liu is like Wu Fei. Although he had played philatelics before and the philatelic albums were still there at that time, he couldn't say what the stamps were worth. At most, he could tell the face value of the stamps, because there was a sign on the stamp.

"There are also banknotes behind. Wu Fei, what is this thing? Why does it look much smaller than banknotes?" Kang Liu said, pointing to a piece of paper smaller than a penny banknote.

"This is a food coupon. I saw it in the small box where my mother collected things when I was a child, but later I disappeared when I went to look for it. I didn't expect that I could see the food coupon here today."

The stamp album in the box contains a lot of things, and there are almost 70 or 80 thick ones, half of which are used stamps.

The other half are mostly banknotes, but the largest one with a face value of 10 yuan per piece, but not many of them are 10 yuan per piece. Wu Fei looked at it and found that there were only three in total.

The others are one dollar, two dollars, five dollars a piece, and one cent, two cents a piece, and five cents a piece, but the most is one cent, two cents a piece, and five cents a piece of paper money.

Wu Fei only saw many banknotes in it when he was a child. It was really not seen for a long time.

In addition to paper money, the two also found more than twenty coins and four copper coins in the philatelic album.

Most of the coins are mainly cent coins, and there are also a few 50 cents coins. The copper coins are all packed separately in small bags and placed in the stamp album.

Originally, the two of them were thinking about cleaning up the useless things in the room. They said treasure hunting was just a fun thing. Unexpectedly, there was such a big surprise in the first room. Not to mention how much these things are worth, at least it was really an unexpected surprise for Wu Fei and Kang Liu.

What Wu Fei could not imagine was that Wu Xiaoqiu's collections were really a variety of things. A small philatelic could actually hold so many things.
