The famous stamp price has doubled

At 12:10, it is lunch time. There was a long queue beside the light meal outside the door, but Wang Jingchun could not attend. Three or four consultants asked her about the stamp market in front of the booth in Area C of the Aijia Collection Market at Dazhong Temple. District C is a zipper area, and almost all businesses have inquirers in twos and threes.

“The number of people who have recently bought famous paintings and calligraphy stamps is much more.” Wang Jingchun said while he produced a newspaper entitled “The latest market in Beijing and Shanghai”. In this “Postal Market Quotes Collection” published in early March, “Qi Baishi” stamps are priced at 920 yuan, while reporters’ inquiries at the venue range from 1,200 yuan to 1,400 yuan. This means that the highest increase in the series of stamps has exceeded 50% within half a month.

The reporter visited the reporter and learned that a set of 16 "Qi Baishi works" stamps issued in 1979 had been priced close to 1,400 yuan. In 1978, a set of 10 stamps of Xu Beihong's "Hardhorse" series stamps were sold for more than 700 yuan. The price of the small sheet issued in the same period with these two stamps is as high as 3,000 yuan and 4,900 yuan. "Prices have more than doubled compared to last year's low." Merchants said in youth.

Within half an hour, a total of eight people went to the counter at the youth to purchase stamps, of which five had a special liking for the celebrity painting and calligraphy subjects. Yu Qing introduced that from the end of last year until now, this trend has become increasingly evident. "It is estimated that it is cheaper than other breeds that have been fired up." However, his inference is not true. Ma Shengli, who has been on the court for several hours, told reporters that he has had more than 10 years of collection history. Now he is particularly concerned about Xu Beihong's "Run Horse" series. “The low prices are only one aspect, and the most important thing is to see more.” He made an analogy: how much is Xu Beihong's painting now? After you convert it into a stamp-sized one, it's worth it.

Yin Dongyuan was one of the merchants who earlier smelled the value of famous stamps. From the beginning of last year, he has “stuck up” a series of stamps selected by Wu Changshuo and Fu Baoshi. Although the two current prices are only 200 yuan and 10 yuan, but he valued the appreciation potential. “Compared to Qi Baishi’s and his works, the issuing years are not far apart, and the artist’s popularity is comparable. There is no reason why they cannot go up.” When the voice was just down, some people came together and asked for a total of 8 “Wu Changshuo paintings and calligraphy. Select" stamps.

How far has a celebrity calligraphy and painting stamp reached? The reporter then visited the Wanjia Madian postal card market located on Huangsi Avenue. Despite closing the trade, the venue is still bustling. Some merchants deliberately wrote signboards with the words "new arrival Qi Baishi calligraphy and painting stamps" and "there are "new Fuchun Shanju plans" stamps" in the shop. Merchant Huang Xiu told reporters that in addition to Wu Changshuo’s temporarily out of stock, the store had the most complete collection of famous calligraphy and painting stamps, including ancient paintings such as “The Qingming Shanghe Diagram”, “Luo Shen Fu Tu” and “Han Xizai Banquet Dinner”, but Prices have risen to varying degrees.

The reporter learned that although the hottest spot on the field is the "Zodiac" stamp, the celebrity calligraphy and painting stamps with relatively low prices and aesthetic tastes are gradually occupying market share. Zhang Limin, who has stayed here for more than five years, said: “From the point of view, the traditional old stamps account for a large proportion, but from the volume point of view, whether it is the number of sets or single sheets, celebrity painting and calligraphy exceeds 50%.”

A senior collector who did not want to be named disclosed that the lack of variety of famous paintings and the cultural connotation of the paintings made the famous calligraphy and postal products deeply loved by collectors, which in turn pushed up their market prices.
