On april 23rd, china newsnet, president mao's words are worth thousands! According to hong kong reports, zurich asia in hong kong will hold a stamp auction in hong kong from 24 to 26 days to auction 2,258 rare chinese and asian postage items with a total value of over $15 million, including an unissued “president mao's 8-point postage stamp to japanese workers in 1968”。
The auction consultant stated that the stamp was valued at hk$ 400,000 (uncollected commission) and 5 million times the face value of the stamp。
According to zurich asian consultant ban ki-lang, since the ticket was not officially issued, it is extremely rare to estimate hk$ 350,000 to hk$ 400,000. The stamp originated on 18 september 1962 when president mao received a japanese worker study activist from beijing to visit the chinese delegation with a special feature, and six years later the commemorative stamps were specially launched to mark the event, but for unknown reasons were recovered shortly after printing. As to the content of the title, ban xian indicated that it was difficult to understand the content of the title because of the small font of the stamps。
The highest-valued stamps on the site were a reprinted “beijing gate two misposters 1914-1919”, with only 50 stamps worldwide, valued at between hk$ 500,000 and hk$550,000. According to ban, when the post office staff printed the stamps, they inadvertently reversed the pattern of beijing palace gate, leaving the wrong stamps on the market。
According to ban, the increase in the number of wealthy people in the interior, combined with the global rise in chinese heat, has resulted in an increase in the value of chinese stamps by 40 to 50 per cent over the previous year, with an estimated potential for appreciation in the short term。
