Crazy resurgent postal veteran salted fish stand up

Garlic rose, mung bean rose, and the property market rose. In the past year, the keywords that netizens chose were “up.” Since last September, the stamp market that has been quiet for 13 years has begun to stir. The Gengshen Monkey Ticket in 1988 will undoubtedly be the leader in the recovery of the postal market. The current situation of skyrocketing prices of more than 100,000 will allow many postal merchants to open their doors. With the flowers, the bitterness that fell to the bottom in 1997 seems to have become overwhelming. In Shanghai's most famous Luwan District Workers’ Cultural Palace, the currency exchange market is full of vocals, and both buyers and sellers are spitting to find a suitable price. How many bubbles are hidden behind crazy stamps, and even the postal trader has no end in his heart. But Wu Shaohua, president of the Shanghai Collectors’ Association, told the reporter’s interview that the key was: “Philatelicism is a culture. If it is “stuck” by the price of stamps, it will deviate from the nature of the collection.”

14 days ago cash overhead admission

For the domestic currency card market, the stamps are always in the leading position. The first is because of its extensive mass base, and the second is that the entry is relatively simple. However, in the past decade or so, the "big boss" has always been unable to lift up his head, the market has been sluggish year after year, and postal merchants have switched to another business. In 1997, it was an unforgettable year for every postal merchant. From that year onwards, the postal market took a slide and fell from a height.

Collector Xu Daping, who has spent several decades investing in artworks, recalls the hot Lukyou postage card trading market that he still talks about. "There was so much fire in the stamps that you couldn't think of at the time." He clearly remembered that the four-square party was filled with people. “At that time, postal traders all made money and had a mobile phone, but they didn’t even want to make a call at the venue. Everyone was rushing to signal that there were too many people!” Because of the large volume of transactions at the time, many buyers All are cash on the head. “That is a unique landscape of Lu Gong. Buyers are afraid that people will be miscellaneous and will simply tie up 20,000 to 300,000 yuan of cash.” Xu Heping revealed that in order to control the number of visitors, it is necessary to enter the trading market to buy tickets, and it is too late. Now, I can't even get inside.

Stir fry peak postcards can rise 100 times

However, no one thought that the Lugong postal card market that was newly built for only two years immediately suffered a winter. In March 1997, the postal market reached the top. When interviewed by reporters, Liu Yonghai who had been in the company for more than 20 years said with emotion: "What rubbish tickets are all fried? At the time, the major speculators were the stamp sheetlets and the osmanthus minivans from 120 yuan to 1,400 yuan." Liu Yonghai said that he is 15 years old. He started to do this line, but he couldn't read it. “The most exaggerated is the postcard of Hope Project, which has gone up from 0.1 yuan to 10 yuan, a full 100 times!”

The postal company veteran Xu Heping also said that it was the crash that caused him to suffer a serious injury. After that, he completely withdrew from the postal card market and switched to other art collections. Xu Heping told reporters that the group of exiters was in a spectacular scene. “At that time, someone came out of the country and sold the tractor. Some people resold their own long-distance passenger cars that were contracted to others for the purpose of joining the postal market. The results were all lost.”

Bubble burst in 1997 crash

In July 1997, Hong Kong's return to gold foil stamps were issued at a nominal value of 50 yuan. After soft and hard packaging, they were sold at 100 yuan and 120 yuan, and the circulation was 20 million pieces. People rushing to return to the gold foil stamps lined up overnight, and long lines circled the postal building. Gold foil stamps were listed on the market for 400 yuan, and then fell all the way to a plunge of 13 to 14 yuan in only one or two months.

From the summer of 1997, the postal market began a long adjustment. During this period, there have been several small rebounds, which is the self-help behavior of the funds in the venue. “At the end of the day, the stalls at the various postal merchants were very small and the idle postal merchants had no time to play poker.”

The mail market crashed and postal merchants suffered heavy losses. A Shanghai citizen who went to work in Japan worked and worked hard in Japan and saved 1 million yuan. At that time, he was also a millionaire. He fell into the postal market and crashed. He only left 20 if he withdrew after half a month. More than ten thousand yuan. There was also an investor who made a profit of 10 million yuan at the most, and when the market was hottest, he was eating into a "seal of a room." Finally, he almost returned to zero and he rented a kiosk to sell lottery tickets. "At the time, 70% to 80% of the postage businesses in the entire stamp market started from a few tens of thousands to more than 100,000 yuan. Most of them earned 5x to 10x profits in the big market, and the value of assets increased from 2 million to 3 million. Yuan, but in the end, basically all the money earned is "Dawning," but it is only guaranteed or slightly profitable."

Postal veteran Feng Ding now runs a medium-sized stamp sales company, mainly engaged in some precious commemorative stamps and stamps. Having experienced the surge of the last round of the postal market, he feels as calm as Liu Yonghai is. "The postal market plummeted in 1997. Although the financial crisis was an incentive, a lot of hot money left the market, but the most fundamental reason is that the bubble is getting too big." Feng Ding said.

After the holiday of this year, when the postal market recovered again, the pain of 14 years ago was forgotten by many people. The postal veterans who went through the "Black 77" are also revived and re-started.

Zhang Wenqing, who has been in Lugong for 17 years, is from a small county in Henan. By chance, he and his friends went to Beijing's Yuetan Stamp Market. At that time, he was shocked by the rapid changes in the price of stamps. "In 1995," Osmanthus fragrans no teeth "fired up. The boss's offer was 130 yuan a morning, a lunch of effort, when I went to ask the price even rose to 190 yuan." Lao Zhang even sigh incredible However, he immediately targeted the business opportunities, so he took out more than ten million savings to buy the goods. Afterwards, he came to Shanghai, where the market is even bigger. He stayed for more than 10 years.

When talking about the rejuvenated stamp market, Mr. Zhang looked excited. He told reporters that it was time to start. Six years ago, the postal market had seen signs of improvement, but several months later it was flat again. Lao Zhang said that the country sold (destroyed) stamps several times, plus the previous loss, good quality on the market, and the already small number of stamps became popular. According to its introduction, the stamp business such as the Silk Series and Wenfang Sibao has become more and more well-designed and has a good sense of design. Lao Zhang's shop is small, but when the business is good, the daily sales can be as high as 300,000, but this is not the best business in the entire Lugong.

The business is getting more and more prosperous, so that old Zhang who has been renting in Shanghai began to have the idea of ​​buying a house. He said with some emotion: "In the second half of 1997, the fellow villagers who came to Shanghai with me almost all went back, leaving me alone." Zhang Zhang, who insists on the present, finally ushered in the spring. He said he was ready to buy. A house, bid farewell to the identity of the tenant. Lao Zhang chose to buy the house near Lugong, which had a minimum price of 31,000 square meters. But he said arbitrarily: "I'm not going to make a down payment, but pay it off."

Rising, rising and rising confidence in the postal business

In Hebei, a businessman who works in the cement business entered the stamp market for the first time this year and invested 10 million yuan. Now he has earned a "BMW." In some cities, a full set of stamps can be exchanged for a set of commercial housing. For example, a set of "Mei Lanfang stamps", the transaction price in 2009 was more than 50,000 yuan, in May and June last year it rose to 123,000 yuan, had reached 160,000 yuan at the beginning of this year; "Monkey ticket" full page The auction price has exceeded 1.2 million yuan. A joke has been popular this year in the postal market: "The diesel shortage, the oil boss cried, and the stamp bull market, the post boss laughed."

"Monkey ticket" led the birth of the Lunar New Year ticket, and the Lunar New Year ticket also led to "** votes", numbered tickets, and small sheet. The old ticket section was extremely bright and the price "climbed". Some old tickets have already broken the highest price in 1997. The entire “popular ticket” has climbed to 180,000 yuan, and the market price of “Long live the invincible Mao Zedong Thought” has reached as high as 30,000 to 400,000 yuan; the “small love science” sheetlet has reached 17,000 yuan, and this set of stamps 2010 The price at the beginning of the year was 8,500 yuan; the "Peony" mini-leaf soared from the 14,000 yuan at the beginning of the year to the current nearly 30,000 yuan.

Actually, not only the old stamps of the classic collection, but also a lot of new stamps have gone up. For example, in 2003, the Special Stamp for SARS was issued, and the price of the 12 consecutive pages was 27 yuan. This year's price has also been It has risen by 2,000 yuan.

In Lugong Post City, there are two stories now circulating. One story is: There is a woman who settled in Europe. When she saw the booming domestic mail market and the soaring price of stamps, she planned to sell her lady-stamped stamps and lotus stamps. She flew to Shanghai on a special leave and was ready to sell stamps in the Lugong Post Market. After all, there was a 50% increase. But after she lapped around, she changed her mind: instead of selling, she bought small stamps worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. She feels that the stamps are still bullish and they are now "bridging down" and profitable in the future.

Another story is: In a stamp shop, young people choose good stamps to talk about prices with the postal merchants, postal merchants are willing to be 2 yuan cheaper on the basis of the total price of 257 yuan, while young people insist on cheaper 7 yuan, because he bought 150 sets at one go . After the talks were over, the postal merchants took the stamps back to the mailing list and waited until the young people were willing to pay the original price of 257 yuan. The boss did not want to sell them. "Now the stamp market is a bull market. As long as you have a good product, you can't afford to sell it for the time being. It will rise next month."

Absolute Celebrity: Gengshen Monkey Ticket Post Small Shenyang City

This time leading the recovery of the postal market was a Gengshin monkey ticket issued in 1980. This kind of ticket is also known as the weather vane of the entire postal market by people in the industry. It is understood that at the peak of the postal market in 1997, the price of Gengshen Monkey Ticket was 2,000 yuan each. Since 1997, the postal market has been sluggish. In 2001 Gengshen's monkey ticket fell below 1,000 yuan. It was not until 2006 that Gengshen's monkey ticket began to slowly climb to 2,000 yuan. But this year, the price of the Gengshen Monkey ticket slammed like a rocket.

Zhang Wenqing told reporters that the single good monkey ticket is now about 11,000 yuan, and the price has been changing. According to Lao Zhang’s introduction, Gengshen’s ticket price appears to be high, mainly because it is the first Chinese zodiac stamp, and the designer is the famous artist Huang Yongyu. In addition, the ticket was limited at the time, only 5 million. There were not many philatelists at that time, and a large part of the LaoGengshen monkey ticket was used as postage.

Lao Zhang said that everyone compared the Gengshen Monkey ticket to the small Shenyang in the postal market. “Before obscure, and then create myths all of a sudden. Recently, more and more buyers came to admire, and generous, and named Gengshou monkey ticket.” According to the latest offer of professional websites, the full version of the 80 Geng Shen Monkey ticket market price is about 1.2 million.

Foreigners frenziedly rush into the bull market or have a hard time

Although today's stamp market is unbelievably good, postal traders who have experienced "Black 77" are aware that there must be a plummet after skyrocketing. Liu Yonghai firmly believes in a principle. He will never touch a stamp that has risen more than ten times. "The composition of the hype is too great, just like in 1997." Liu Yonghai said that he cleared the entire inventory in February 1997. At the time, this move made his counterparts very unclear, but it turned out that Liu Yonghai was betting on it. He told reporters that this year’s bull market is very different from that of 1997. “The information is relatively transparent. Which type of postage stamps fall can be found on the Internet. It also has specific data.” The threshold is lowered. To allow outsiders to keep pouring into the postal market, Liu Yonghai revealed that there is a king ** beside a friend and he has opened a restaurant in the Netherlands and earned a lot of money. Today, she returned home and spent 50,000 yuan to open a new store for stamps on Damuqiao Road. "She has a lot of confidence. It looks like she has done a lot of homework."

Liu Yonghai predicts that because of the relative transparency of information, this bull market will not last long. He believes that at most six months, many stamps will fade away from the aura they are now shining. Wu Shaohua, president of the Shanghai Collectors’ Association, also agreed with this view. However, he is slightly optimistic: "This wave of the market should be able to continue until the end of the year. Although the hype component is, it has a lot of reason than 1997."

Where is the collection or speculative stamp culture?

Wu Shaohua said that there must be a lot of newcomers entering the postal market. He suggested that newcomers must understand the basic data of the issuance of stamps before entering the market, such as the year, circulation, version, etc. He took the colorful Gengshen Monkey ticket as an example: "Actually, the monkey ticket was divided into three rounds. The 1980 was the most precious. It was not the second round of monkey tickets that followed, but the third round of 2004. It was the second round of monkey ticket sales that was too large, close to 100 million sets. The price of the three round monkey tickets is now 200 yuan."

Collector Xu Heping said that from the analysis of the ratio of storage and circulation, if it reaches 1:1, then this stamp is definitely not worth investing. In the interview process of reporters, some postal merchants were also “a bit afraid” in face of rapid rise. After all, they experienced the last round of the last century’s decline, “all of them were afraid.” Some postal merchants saw profitable shipments "into the bag". For ordinary investors, people in the industry suggest not to chase stamps that have gone too far. If they rise more than 10 times, they must be cautious. At the same time, investing in the postal market requires professional knowledge. Before entering the postal market, we must first recharge and carefully study the circulation of various types of philatelic products, the volume of deposits, and historical trends.

For a long time, philately has a broad mass base as part of a collection culture. Now that the postal market is picking up, Wu Shaohua thinks that it is a good news for most philatelists. However, he told reporters that it is imperative for prices to be “stuck up” when playing with stamps. “We should allow collections to return to the essence, less speculation and less speculation, and philately is to cultivate our sentiments, and we must never give up.” If we can form our own cultural characteristics, The long-term development of the collector market is crucial."
