Special collection seems to be a development path. For example, Qian Qinggu, he is engaged in special collection, and his collection is soapstone.
Even Dahai City Antique City has now embarked on a specialized path, but it only focuses on the trading of modern art.
Looking at a set of RMB is like seeing the history of China.
Each set of RMB is preceded by a detailed catalogue, indicating the size, denomination, pattern, paper used and issuance time of each RMB in the set.
At this time, Qi Hongxing also told the story of this collection.
He has been fond of collecting since he was a child. He initially collected stamps. Later, he discovered that there were early coins in the stamp market, and started his own coin collection.
"This collection started in the 1980s. Because my birthday is August 7, I specially chose RMB with the number ending in '87' to collect."
This is easier said than done, but much harder to do.
Because some renminbi are very rare to begin with, it often takes several exchanges to find one that is in good condition and meets the requirements for the number ending in "87".
"I only opened a store here in 1996. Before I opened the store, I had to go to work and travel frequently. Every time I arrived in a city, I would go to the coin market first. Sometimes the appearance was good but the ending number was wrong, and the ending number was right and the appearance was bad.
not good."
For more than thirty years, Qi Hongxing has invested countless energy, time and money to put together this collection, and the value of the RMB collection has continued to increase over the years.
"This set has appreciated at least three times in value, and some particularly rare ones have appreciated in value more than five times."
However, there is still one regret in this collection.
"The condition of one of them is not ideal enough. It is not brand new and can only be considered to be of eighth grade."
"Do you always want to give up your love?" After admiring it, looking at the proud old man, Chen Wenzhe asked directly.
"That's definitely not possible, but a badge or something is fine."
Qi Hongxing smiled coquettishly. He had this problem. When he saw the guests, he couldn't help but show off his collection.
He only shows off, not for sale, and the result now is that many people who know him are no longer willing to listen to him showing off.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have dragged Chen Wenzhe into the store from the roadside.
Of course, there is also business to be done.
His store is similar to a traditional antique store, with a miscellaneous collection. He collects any antiques he encounters. Once he collects them, he has to sell them.
Therefore, if he receives something and doesn't want to keep it for himself, he will find a way to sell it.
For example, the badges he has taken out now, the red collection, seems to be a special project, and there are many types of collectibles.
Qi Hongxing is quite capable, and he has produced quite a few badges.
It can be said that apart from the collection that took more than 30 years of hard work, Qi Hongxing's most proud collection is more than 10,000 medals of great men.
Because I started collecting early, I have a large collection with a complete variety.
In recent years, red-themed collections have become very popular, which can be said to have huge collection potential.
Chen Wenzhe understands very well that in recent years, similar special collections have not only become more diversified, but have also begun to attract the attention of the market.
"Niche" collection market segmentation is becoming a new trend.
However, Chen Wenzhe was not interested in these things.
It's not that I don't want to buy something, it's that this old man doesn't sell good things, and all he does sell are modern imitations.
By this time, Chen Wenzhe had roughly figured out the old man's tricks.
At first, he still respected this man, but now, he saw clearly the true face of the old man.
Whether it's a full set of RMB or a stamp, it's all bait.
Just to make you think that he has good stuff and complete sets.
So all his collections are genuine? Those fragmentary badges that do not fit in sets must be modern imitations.
If he showed a little bit of interest in collecting RMB just now, would Qi Hongxing also take out some RMB and recommend it to him later?
Perhaps because he found that Chen Wenzhe didn't like it, Qi Hongxing immediately changed his routine and began to introduce the products in the store.
Chen Wenzhe followed the old man and looked at them one by one.
Chen Wenzhe had seen these things when they were outside. It cannot be said that they were fake at first glance. However, some real old things mixed in them did not have much collection value at all.
And in this old man's mouth, those things are treasures.
Chen Wenzhe is a little helpless. Is he being treated as a fat sheep? Do you have to recommend a few things to him today?
I glanced at the paintings and calligraphy on the wall. From a distance, they looked like paintings, but up close, the water was silent!
It is still a painting, just not a Chinese painting!
While watching, Chen Wenzhe asked a few questions, but he didn't take any action.
This is an old store, and there are really a lot of things in the store.
If you don’t come in, you won’t even know what’s there!
There are old tools, farm tools, phonographs, horse bells, manuscripts and books used in the past.
Unfortunately, the manuscripts that Chen Wenzhe is most interested in are actually those of some modern poets.
It's like that, if you divide a paragraph into ten paragraphs and read it, it still looks very high-end.
For example, I saw that the little girl on the other side of the mountain was very beautiful!
If it were made into a modern poem, it would be: I saw the little girl on the other side of the mountain, she was very beautiful!
Well, it’s not a fine modern poem, but it has that flavor!
In this old store, there are many disguised little girls, who look very pretty at first glance.
For example, some old promotional posters, commemorative badges, old stamps, books, newspapers, documents, records, etc.
Various red-themed collectibles also take up half of this store.
It seems that the business is still good, because during the time that Chen Wenzhe came in, they sold several posters of celebrities from the 1980s and 1990s.
This makes Chen Wenzhe feel that he is a little behind the times?
If he had the foresight, could he have wholesaled a large number of celebrity posters when he was a child and kept them for sale now?
Who can still see before and after? Therefore, these celebrity posters, commemorative badges, old stamps, school bags and documents are all old things.
Chen Wenzhe has never made old paper things, but that doesn't mean he can't do it.
Since you can do it, you can see it.
A so-called celebrity poster is worth more than 100 yuan, and many people really come to buy it. This business is doing really well!
While looking at the sundries, he also took a look at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Now Chen Wenzhe was not hiding it, because he came here just for these calligraphy and paintings.
This is mainly because he doesn't want to waste time anymore.
Since old man Qi Hongxing insists on letting him buy something in the store, then buy something that interests him.
Forget the words, they look interesting from a distance, but when you look closer, they are all replicas.
As for the paintings, some of the works by young artists seemed to be genuine, but Chen Wenzhe didn't know those young artists either.
If you just look at the level, it's passable, but as a collection, it's a bit unqualified.
On the contrary, there is an oil painting in a corner of the wall, which looks pretty good.
