Birth history of monkey ticket
As the first Zodiac stamp, the monkey ticket is deeply loved by stamp collectors because of its beautiful image and exquisite printing, and the price of monkey ticket has risen rapidly in the stamp market. Four-way stamps and full-page stamps have higher prices. The price of monkey tickets has risen at an alarming rate. It is indeed a symbolic collection of stamp collecting in China. It is also the weather vane of China philatelic market. The first set of new stamps and new philatelic products have a "leading effect", and the pursuit of perfection by philatelists often makes these first sets of philatelic products of extraordinary value and considerable value-added. Although many people didn't pay attention to the issuance of monkey tickets at first, with the establishment of many postal markets all over the country in the late 1980s, the economic significance of stamp collecting became more and more obvious, and monkey tickets were in short supply. At 1992, the second round of monkey tickets for the Chinese zodiac entered the market, and many philatelists suddenly realized how the first set of monkey tickets had disappeared. As a result, the price of "Gengshen Monkey" has soared in the market, and the supply and demand are extremely unbalanced. Although the second and third sets of Zodiac stamps were later issued, including monkey tickets, usually monkey tickets refer to the first set of monkey tickets issued in 1980. Because the monkey ticket is printed with engraving, the hair on the monkey's face shines in the sun, just like real fur. This is also an important basis for distinguishing the authenticity of Gengshen monkeys. Therefore, friends who have monkey tickets should pay special attention to the face of your monkey ticket. Face is an important factor in the price level.
