First, most of the Expo badges sold on Taobao were purchased at the Expo site, such as 10 RMB in Turkish Badge Garden, and 40 yuan in Taobao.
Second, some profiteers on Taobao now package the national flag badges approved by Yiwu, Guangdong and other places into Expo Hall badges to reap huge profits. For example, the emblem in the shape of a maple leaf in Canada is definitely not the emblem of the World Expo.
Third, some badges were inflated, such as the British Pavilion, Oman Pavilion and volunteers of the World Expo, which were inflated by illegal traders. Because a large number of badges will be distributed or sold on the National Pavilion Day in each country, and the National Pavilion Day in these countries has not yet arrived, there will not be a large number of badges flowing out, and collectors need not spend money in such a hurry. In particular, Canada's round maple leaf badge is extremely large and has no collection value. However, it was fired by unscrupulous traders to 200 RMB each.
In addition, the "Heart of Colombia" Badge Park is available at the Columbia Pavilion at a price of 10 RMB, and some Taobao merchants sell 200 yuan; Turkey's "Sterling Silver Star and Moon Badge" Turkey Pavilion price 100 yuan, Taobao sells 200 yuan; Belgian map badge 25 yuan, Taobao 50 yuan; The flag badge of American Yin and Yang fish is sold in 35 yuan and Taobao 199 yuan; Sri Lankan badge price 10 yuan, Taobao sells 50 yuan; Everyone pays attention to the Oman Pavilion badge, especially reminding everyone that there are three versions now. One is a butterfly buckle with a cardboard background (it is said to be gold-plated with sterling silver). This is the first edition. Butterfly buttons and magnets without cardboard are the second and third editions. The latter two items are not as exquisite as the first one. They were specially made by Oman Pavilion for the Pavilion Day and presented to the exhibitors. It is unknown whether it will be sold in the Oman Pavilion in the future, but it is certainly not as expensive as the first edition. I hope everyone will recognize it when they buy it, so as not to be cheated. In addition, just don't trust VIP badges, because these badges are probably knockoffs. You know, people who can get VIP badges will not sell them on Taobao.
Now most of the badges on Taobao are sold in parks. And it is far lower than the price on Taobao.
If you have a holiday, you can go to the Expo site to buy it. If you can buy it safely, you can still enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Expo Park. Of course, if it is inconvenient, you should carefully identify it on Taobao.
In addition, attach the opinion article of the collector /club/viewthread.php? tid=43275
20 10 Shanghai World Expo is the first comprehensive Expo held in a developing country, which is of great significance. Because of its large population, China will create the largest scale and the largest number of visitors since the World Expo was held. The official forecast of the Expo Coordination Bureau is that the total number of visitors will reach 70 million, which is 1% of the world population, which is amazing. However, after the Olympic badge craze, a small badge once again swept the Expo Park, and the number of collectors rose steadily, and the collection fever was better than the "orange high temperature warning in the park". The age of collection ranges from 5 to 60 years old, regardless of region, race or occupation. In the world of badge owners, a familiar phrase is often heard: "Hello, do you have any badge exchange?" Every corner of the Expo Park is a paradise for badge people to enjoy and connect sincere friendship.
Non-expert suggestions, in view of the current prevalence of Expo badges, put forward some non-expert suggestions for some specific VIP, limited edition, out of print, store goods and other products. The specific forecast is as follows:
Area A: Saudi Arabia: The hottest pavilion is Saudi Arabia, and the hottest badge is also their coconut palm badge symbolizing the king. Because of the limited circulation, it was fired to 9888 yuan. Of course, this is worthless. However, if you are lucky enough to collect one, you do have a feeling of enjoying the VIP of the Saudi royal family. However, if you don't collect it, you can go and have a look.
Japan: Japanese staff only wear a few badges the size of a penny, and most staff refuse to exchange them. Congratulations to those who have changed. Absolutely good. Japanese things are exquisite, and I have seen several other Japanese badges. Because I am not familiar with it, I will not analyze it here.
China Pavilion: It is said that there are five pieces released by the museum. I think it is enough to collect two pieces, because after all, there is no limit to what is made in China, and when the demand expands, it will emerge.
Provincial and municipal pavilions: According to the current data analysis, except the metal badges of Liaoning, Zhejiang, Heilongjiang, Tianjin, Hebei, Hubei, Yunnan, Tibet, Qinghai and Ningxia, all other provincial and municipal pavilions have been released. More precious are the eight pandas in Sichuan, the limited edition of 20 10 sets of gold-plated badges in Inner Mongolia, the round leadership badge in Jiangsu, and the 12 zodiac in Shanxi.
Oman Pavilion: It was very popular from the beginning, and now it is worn by sweeping aunts. Oman's badge seems to be a little degraded, but personally, I think the Oman version of the badge is really classic, with a small number and beautiful shape. Assuming the material is not good and the circulation is large, I will still like it, because the Expo Park is comparable to that shape.
Israel Pavilion: VIP staff badge of Israel Pavilion. I heard that when you ask questions, people will avoid you. What is the reason? Because this is the habit of people in Arab countries and I don't want such things to be exchanged with others, but some awesome people will collect them, mainly depending on whether you are awesome or not. Remember, it's a gossip-shaped Chinese and Israeli flag, round, and the size of a coin is 50 cents.
Taiwan Province Provincial Pavilion: There are two models: yellow and white. If you want it now, you can go directly to the curator, but it may not be taken care of, hehe.
India: The first edition is very classic, and the second edition is also very good. It is not difficult to collect one set.
There are also UAE, Korean version, Korea 20 12 Yeosu Expo, Maldives VIP.
Next, I will put forward suggestions for badges in Zone B, Zone C, Zone D and Zone E one after another, waiting for my update. I solemnly declare that this post cannot be forwarded because. . . . . Hehe, I haven't finished it yet!
After reading it, I recommend you to listen to Li Jian's Past Smoke.
Added on August 2:
Zone B: Thailand Pavilion: Thailand has three kinds of badges. The logo of Xiao Artest and the exhibition hall is currently on sale in the store. The round VIP badge is only available for staff to exchange, and it is not as powerful as the online hype. According to me and Thai officials, the circulation of round badges is relatively large, so it is relatively easy to exchange them with Thai foreigners, but it depends on what badges the other party likes.
Life Sunshine Pavilion: one * * *, four models, two rectangles, one big and one small, many big ones, few small ones, one round one, one sparse one, one heart-shaped one, quite a lot. It is recommended to collect them all. You can get someone to change it at the exit.
World Meteorological Pavilion: Exquisite workmanship, shops are sold with numbers, but the staff doesn't, so if you want to change them, you have to change them in the hands of the staff.
International information development website: 1 ***4 models, 2 old models, new models 1 gold 1 silver, the oldest version is out of print, which is estimated to be difficult to collect. Collecting 1 gold 1 silver is enough, because this museum not only has many badges, but also the most fancy passports and seals in the park.
New Zealand: 1 Silverbird, Tibetan friends, please add details.
SINGAPORE: Durian Xiao Xin has been sold out of stock, but that doesn't mean stores will no longer sell it. Personally, I think it's beautiful and there is no Expo logo.
Australia: The exquisite ones are sold in stores, but my personal experience is to find someone in the store to change them directly. They have a lot! The birds sold in 98 yuan are very good.
United Nations: One ***3 model is sold in the store as 10 yuan 1, and the other two are pure United Nations emblems with no words on them, and one with UN written on it. Some people say there are four modes, I don't know. Please add what you know.
Pacific alliance Pavilion: VIP badges of some small island countries are relatively rare in the market, which may be the next hot spot. Recommend the VIP badges of Pacific Island Forum, Tonga, Cook Islands and Samoa badges.
Other pavilions, such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia and Brunei, are relatively easy to handle and have many kinds. In order to save space, they will not be introduced here.
Let's call it a day. Please wait patiently for the next key area C.
Recommend a "Hero" by Maria Kelly.
On August 2, the second supplement:
Area C: Before introducing Area C, please make a statement. Because my understanding is limited, please give me more opinions. All opinions only represent me. I follow the order of official website Expo:
Turkey: VIP badges are the moon and stars, just like their national flags. The quantity is very small, which is very rare in the market. The key is the perfect shape.
Belgium-EU Pavilion: The number of emblems organized by the EU is small, but it is not good-looking. Belgian stores sell 2-3 models, and it is said that the ones out of stock will soon be sold.
Paraguay: There is a VIP chapter, which I haven't seen yet. I know my friends take pictures.
Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador: These were originally sold, but I don't know if they have recently. They are all long English strips, and the collection significance is average.
Luxembourg: The workmanship is not bad, the circulation is small, and the hype is fierce. Personally, I feel so-so.
Lithuania: One * * *, more than four kinds, the oldest version is difficult to collect, others are ok, and there are some for sale.
Canada: Maple Leaf is the top stamp in the park, and its shape and circulation are among the best. It is said that there are only 50 yuan, and there are six other kinds. It is said that there are 65,438+00,000 Canadian gold coins maple leaves, but now there are only a few people, and the counterfeit products are also released. So remind me, if you want to change to Canada, you still have to go to the museum and exchange it with someone with a staff certificate to avoid being fooled.
Brazil: There are 2-3 models with exquisite workmanship. I guess it's still on sale. I'm not sure if there are any VIPs.
Caribbean Joint Pavilion: You have seen Suriname's VIP badge in your post. This is the real Caribbean, worth hiding. The rest of the pavilions have not been excavated. Please dig and dig. Badges of small countries are often very beautiful.
Spain: The medals of the 20 10 World Cup were officially awarded. Like licensed goods, it's really not easy to make friends. I missed my appointment for an hour. What a pity!
Iceland: There are few badges made in Iceland, and only some people who have been to Iceland have them in the museum. Please know about them.
Angola: The VIP stamp is black. It is said that you can take this stamp to their regular reception. This is the way to show VIP style!
Greece: Although only the people in the museum have it, the workmanship is average, the shape is average, and the value is not great.
Algeria: There is a VIP badge, just like their seal, with long hands, which is absolutely good.
British Pavilion: It is still very popular at present. The material of the first edition is very thick and has a steel seal number. There are too many second and third editions, and a group of counterfeiters are stepping up production. I met a man the day before yesterday, and he told me that they were making English ones. Sweat! ! Tibetan friends, please be careful! !
Malta: 2 models, VIP out of print, I like them very much, so I want to collect them.
Liechtenstein: The little crown is very small, just like their country, it can be included in the VIP badge family.
Africa Joint Pavilion: I don't know much about it because there are too many countries. There are few VIP badges in Comoros, and the badges in the United Pavilion are not bad. The rest is left to everyone to dig.
Romania: apple-shaped pavilion, apple-shaped badge. I want to have a taste of this. It looks good and the workmanship is not bad.
France: Toure's engagement can be collected and sold in the shops of the French Pavilion.
Norway: Very beautiful. Many people in Europe have them, but they are reluctant to exchange them. The reason is that this chapter is too small and delicate to be a VIP, but it is also a good chapter.
South Africa: Mandela's seal is very beautiful, because after all, he is a leader. Personally, he can rank among the top four park badges.
USA: There are many kinds, but the classic ones are the Bagua flag badge worn by staff and the American Independence Day badge with date. Others are either sold or sold in large quantities. Oh, I forgot, there is also a 30 th anniversary of the bridge, which is also a cow badge.
Holland: Crown VIP, with it, it is VIP, and you can go to Holland Pavilion unimpeded. But how do you get it? This is a problem.
Colombia: Phoenix is the heart of Colombia. Although it's big, you can get a design award or something. Women like that heart.
Peru: That mysterious VIP seal was fired because foreigners sent less. I hope they will send more.
Ireland: A beautiful name, the seal of Confucius Institute and their VIP, is just the old color of VIP, but not many people know it, so we should visit it often.
Portugal: The hollow shape of VIP seal is enough for everyone to like to collect, but there are very few people who own it, and it is even difficult to meet.
Italian: It is said that the 80-year-old original stamp will be released again soon. It's really not good to sell three sets of 75 yuan now, but the design is beautiful.
Home of German and Chinese colleagues: The circulation is small, and it was originally controlled by many security guards. It used to be easy to change, but now it's hard.
Mexico: The 50-piece medallion is really distinctive, good, good ~ ~ ~
