In the fifties and sixties of the last century, philatelic enthusiasts rarely spent money on new stamps. At that time, stamps were mainly used for postal communications, so it was relatively easy to collect stamps. If the number of stamp collectors at that time was 1 million, the circulation of many stamps was six or seven million or even tens of millions, which was a large print run at that time. Even today, the souvenir sheet of "Mei Lanfang's Stage Art", which has risen to more than tens of thousands of yuan, was placed on the counter of the post office back then, and no one cared about it.
Due to the precipitation of a large number of old stamps in the correspondence, in the mid-to-late eighties, when many postmen turned back to look for the new stamps, they felt that the number of new stamps in the world was pitiful, even if it was a full-quality stamp, some had to step on the iron shoes to find. Large packages such as "Mei Lanfang's Stage Art", "Scenery of Yellow Mountain", "Goldfish", "Peony", "Chrysanthemum" and "Butterfly" are even more difficult to collect one by one, and some of the souvenir sheets and souvenir sheets with a circulation of only 20,000 to 40,000 pieces have now become rare stamps. The old stamp is issued for a long time, its subject matter is extremely wide, and the design is more exquisite, but there is a certain gap between the printing level of the old stamp and today's stamps.
Some people have said that one of the reasons why the old special ticket has not received market attention in recent years is because its printing quality is not very good, I personally think that the vast majority of the old special ticket is printed with engraving, gold hook and iron stroke, but there is another quaint flavor. Philately is deep, and it is cherished.
