Features: This book is part of the "New Collectible Investment Guide Series." The term "new collectibles" refers to emerging collectibles that are distinct from traditional ones, possessing market value and potential. These newly discovered or rising "new collectibles" offer greater appreciation potential compared to traditional collectibles. The series plans to publish sub-books on old stamps, card collectibles, old books and periodicals, bookplates, comic books, old propaganda posters, old trademarks, and badges. The target readers of this series include not only relatively fixed collectors but also the general public with a nostalgic fondness for various paper collectibles. The beautiful nicknames like "Pearls of Woodblock Prints," "Jewels on Paper," and "Butterflies in Books" alone are enough to captivate one's imagination. Bookplates have been favored by painters and scholars for appreciation and exchange. Today, this once little-known collectible has finally come out of its secluded world and is now entering the homes of ordinary people. Years ago, expert collectors pointed out that bookplates are the most promising collectibles for investment. Compared to the millions of printed "stamps and coins and cards," bookplates are genuine original works by artists, condensing artistic essence. Each is a unique piece, yet its market price is lower than that of "stamps and coins and cards," sometimes even just one-thousandth of a famous artist's painting! As the first book in China to combine appreciation and investment in bookplate collecting, this book traces the origins of some rare Chinese and foreign bookplates collected by the author, guiding collectors and investors through this colorful and magical world with ease!
