●Great--Significant Value
This collection is the most comprehensive of publicly issued philatelic materials by the state postal department of New China. It was released during the World Postal Union Conference and the 50th Anniversary of the People's Republic of China, garnering attention from all sectors. Some government departments have shown interest in using it as a valuable gift for distinguished guests. Due to its numbered limited edition and the inclusion of a World Postal Union Conference commemorative postcard as a bonus, the book has enormous potential for appreciation. Currently, China has 30 million stamp enthusiasts, with about 300 stamp markets across major cities nationwide and approximately 1,000 stamp shops. This book will become an invaluable gift and reference material.
The Complete Collection of Chinese Philately includes all stamps, stamped envelopes, stamped postcards, and stamped letters issued by the state postal department from the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 to the end of the 20th century, with stamps issued up to 1998 totaling over 3,000 varieties. These philatelic communication materials not only reflect the development and changes in China's politics, economy, culture, art, science, and technology but also showcase the country's picturesque landscapes and unique customs. Due to their unique designs and exquisite printing, they have become colorful works of art with exceptional collection and practical value, serving as the best guide for postal authorities, philatelic associations, and stamp collectors to collect, appreciate, and study stamps.
President of the State Postal Administration, Liu Liqing, has written a preface to the book, firmly believing that the publication of the Complete Collection of Chinese Philately will add new luster to the philatelic of New China.
