The set consists of three volumes, wrapped in a velvet box, priced at 1999 yuan, making it an elegant gift for friends and relatives.
● High Potential—The book is a complete collection of public postal items issued by the national postal authorities of the People's Republic of China. It was released during the World Philatelic Congress and the 50th anniversary of the National Day, attracting attention from all sectors.
