1, yearbook:

Yearbook is a kind of stamp products, which collects all the stamps of a certain type issued in that year, with exquisite patterns and text introduction, and sometimes one or two personalized stamps, which are of great appreciation and collection value and can also be given as gifts.

It first appeared in the early 1980s. Yearbooks can be divided into empty books (without stamps) and real books. Or divided into ordinary books, intermediate books, high-end books, video books, appointment books, and now there are small editions, large editions and so on.

2. Packaging:

The stamps issued by the postal department are all issued in sets, and a set of stamps expresses the same theme. A set of stamps consists of one stamp, several stamps and a dozen stamps. Generally, a set of stamps has a uniform number, thus forming a set of stamps, referred to as a set of stamps.

3. Size version:

Large-scale tickets, also known as "full-scale tickets", refer to the full-scale tickets printed by stamp factories, packaged and delivered to the post office for sale in the form of finished products. Stamp tickets are usually printed with printing factory name, printing plate number and other marks on the edge paper.

Before 2000, China Post generally had a large stamp size, which often contained more than 40 stamps. Because the specifications of the big edition are too big to be preserved, and the whole page value is too high, ordinary philatelists can't bear it.

After 2000, in order to guide stamp collectors to collect stamps in units of "editions", the post office issued a large edition with a larger hairstyle and a relatively small full-page stamp. A general edition includes 2- 12 stamps, which is what we now call a mini-edition.

Why large stamps are expensive;

The size of 1. large stamps is generally 18× 10mm or 18×8mm, which has great advantages in the collection market.

2. Large stamps are exquisitely designed, exquisitely made and with consistent patterns.

3. The price of large stamps should also be determined according to the theme of stamps, and rare things are more expensive. For commemorative stamps, if the circulation is still relatively small, then the price advantage will be even greater.

Common sense of stamp maintenance:

1. When collecting stamps, you must use a small dry bag, a small dry glass bottle or a dry stamp album. Generally speaking, stamp albums and pouches are commonly used.

We must pay attention to the storage environment of stamps. Whether you collect stamps with a stamp album or a small bag, you should not be exposed to the sun for a long time, otherwise it may lead to the discoloration of stamps.

Secondly, it can't be in a humid environment, because stamps are paper-based, absorbent and prone to mildew. So it is best to store stamps in a cool and dry place, and you can put some desiccant together.

3. If you choose a stamp album to collect stamps, you should also pay attention to the placement method of the stamp album, and never put it horizontally. In this way, the stamps in the album will be squeezed by the weight of the book for a long time. Therefore, the arrangement of stamp albums should be stored side by side like books in the library, and they should not be staggered, nor should they be too close together, leaving gaps.

4. When watching or moving stamps, be sure not to touch them directly, but to clamp them with special tweezers, because there are often oily secretions on your fingers, which may leave fingerprints on stamps. After a long time, traces will appear, destroying the appearance of stamps.

5, stamps can not be stored for a long time, but also open the stamp album at any time, otherwise it will accumulate dust.
