96-Month Ticket Ticket for 30 Years

Thirty years ago, he was forced to purchase a 96-yuan monkey ticket. Thirty years later, Mr. Qin, an old employee of the post office, became a multimillionaire by virtue of them.

As the postal market continues to heat up, the round of gold monkeys as the weather vane of the postal market has attracted the attention of the crowd. Since the end of 2010, its single price has been steadily rising to a high of 10,000 yuan. In the recent 2011 Suzhou stamps (products At the special auction, 80 pieces of the 80-year-old monkey stamp of the T46 Gengshen Yearbook were sold for RMB 1.2 million in 1980. Mr. Qin of Hankou was in a dream. The 80 version of the monkey ticket he bought in 1980 was put into a baby of ten million after 30 years at home.

The reporter learned that in the 1980s, Mr. Qin was an employee of the Wuhan First Post Office. The 80th version of the monkey ticket was one of the stamps sold at the time when the post office sent the letter, because the 80th edition of the monkey ticket was designed to be extremely exquisite, and then philatelic was prevalent. Many people who bought stamps feared that the stamps would be so exquisite that they would cause the philatelists to pay attention, and that the letters could not be delivered as scheduled. Therefore, they were often reluctant to choose the 80-seat monkey tickets when they sent them. At that time, the 80-seat monkey tickets became “unsalable” stamps.

As a post office employee, Mr. Qin was “forced” to purchase a version 80 monkey ticket that was currently unsalable in order to complete the corresponding sales task. It is understood that the issue price of each monkey ticket was only 0.08 yuan, 80 yuan for each edition was only 6.4 yuan, and a total of 96 yuan for the 15th edition. "Don't underestimate this 96 yuan, you have to know that most people had a monthly income of only twenty or thirty yuan. The 96 yuan that Mr. Qin bought at that time was not a small number at that time," said Mr. Qin's friend. Say.

After purchasing these 15 stamps, Mr. Qin was left alone for more than ten years. Until the 1990s, Mr. Qin stumbled upon a visit to the collectibles market and found a full version of the 80-seat monkey ticket. The price has risen to 100,000 yuan. At this time, Mr. Qin realized the collection value of the 80 monkey ticket.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the two sons of Mr. Qin reached the marriageable age. Mr. Qin sold two editions for more than 200,000 yuan and more than 300,000 yuan respectively, and exchanged a set of two-bedroom, one-bedroom apartments for the two sons. During these 30 years, Qin had sold 5 editions at different prices. Now there are 10 editions in his hand. A rough estimate of the market value of at least 10 million yuan.

According to Xiao Qin, a senior collector of Wuhan's collectibles market, the 1980 Gengshou Monkey Stamp, also known as “Gengshen Monkey” or “Golden Monkey”, was issued when China had just resumed stamp collecting. The China Stamp Corporation was established in 1980 (Geng Shennian). The first Chinese New Year stamp issued on February 15 was the smallest of the twelve Chinese zodiac stamps, only 5 million, and was used in large quantities at that time, so it was extremely low. The stamp was jointly sponsored by famous painters, designers and sculptors. The original painting was designed by Mr. Huang Yongyu. Designed by Mr. Shao Shaolin, Mr. Jiang Weijie sculpted, and he brought together three great artists. The artistic effect was strong and the shape was vivid. Each monkey hair was vivid. The golden eyes of the monkey's eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hands, feet, etc., are bright in the yellow, clear in the eyes, nose lines, and cracks in the mouth, and have sharp edges and corners. Its artistic height is hard to surpass.

Xiao Qin Xue believes that as the weather indicator of the postal market, as long as the postal market is well funded, the overall market is going well, and the price of the 80 version of the monkey ticket can continue to be a new high. Once the funds are withdrawn, the postal market may face a deeper correction.
