The "wrapping" seriously dinged the value of the stamps. What a shame.

"Now it is your turn to take care of this set."
Great suggestion,
You should consider this!

(This area of collection is complex and you do require a guide to help yourself)

Of 25,000 sets printed, 20,500 were sold for 5$ to fund the scientific expedition of Dr.Sven hedin
If you wanna look a little more into things

@Just_fella: Thanks for the info. My grate grand father was one of those 20,500 who paid that price. He told me about it before he passed away in 1974 (but I totally forgot until now).

I reckon all of us who still have stamps from when we were children have a few of these. I know I do!

@Just_fella, @perf12,
Thanks for the advice. I am not looking for selling those.
I do have some highly value inflated stamps (for example, 1968 PRC stamps, set of 5 with 1.4K USD per Stampworld and several times more on some websites). No plan for sale.

Do you plan on collecting stamps from China?
Seems like you have a good start,
Could I recommend a catalogue to you?
Might be worth it.

I have many China stamps from 1900s to 1970s then stopped trying to get more to complete the collection.

Have you looked into the China stamp society?
There catalogue is on my hit list, one of these days I'll get one ;)
China is just a casual area for me, I enjoy it from time to time

I have just checked out the China stamp society. Very interesting group! May consider to join in a couple of years (when I retire and have more time).

Back it up. Where are the backsides on stamps I was led to believe by the title would be here?

I try to keep an eye out for a used catalogue, haven't seen one go up for sale yet.
Not that the 100$ Brand New cost isn't worth it, I have other priorities

The title of the thread says "REAR".
