Yue Tan Post Market is actually a spontaneously formed outdoor market composed of stalls. Otherwise, it would not be in this park without a dedicated venue. But Jiang Yizhou is here, as long as you can buy the collectibles you want. Looking at so many stalls on both sides of the road, Jiang Yizhou feels more and more unrealistic. I am here like this. In my previous life, I basically never had the opportunity to collect, except for the dozen yuan Yuan Daitou in the hands of my grandparents. When the family was separated, they took it with their parents and sold it. The collection should not be fake, right? He thought for a while and then laughed at himself. He thought too much. It is estimated that Pig Card and Mei Lanfang Card, the protagonist of Postal Market’s surge two months ago, would have to be sold at a loss and discounted. Even now, even if Even if the market rises, it cannot exceed the face value by much, and it is difficult for him to calculate, because he only knows the prices of key nodes, and who has the time to remember the others. Suddenly, the Boss of a stall next to Jiang Yizhou said, "I, son, are you here to buy or sell, or are you in the way? You've been standing in front of my stall for a long time!" Jiang Yizhou was a little uncomfortable. Sorry, I touched my head. In his previous life, he was a guy with low emotional intelligence and no sense of atmosphere. Mixed with his simple and honest temperament in this life, he was always a little dull. Following the voice, he saw a middle-aged man with a severely degraded hairline. . "Uncle, let me ask, is there any Phone Card for sale here?" Jiang Yizhou asked another silly question, which made Boss impatient for a while, but also a little happy. This must be a newcomer, right? When I came to Yue Tan Post Market, I actually asked if Phone Card was sold here. There are many people like this these days. As Postage Currency Card is slowly becoming more popular, many people want to make a fortune easily. All the guys come here to buy whatever they want. It can be said that Postage Currency Card The rise in these collectibles is partly due to policy factors, the return of value, and also because of these speculative guys. But that was a good thing for him. Seeing that this young man seemed to be a potential customer, Vendor rubbed his hands diligently and asked, "Yes, yes, but what type of Phone Card do you want? Phone Card There are local cards and general cards, and there are many categories below. Now the collection value of Tamura Card is still good!” Jiang Yizhou has some understanding of these basics. Tamura Card refers to using rb. The collective name for Tamura's technology Phone Card, which is also the earliest batch of Phone Card. It is also divided into general and local cards according to the scope of application. According to his memory, he only remembers a few of the Universal Magnetic Card, but has no impression of the local Phone Card. I guess it has no collection value? Jiang Yizhou I can only guess this.
"Do you have the Pig Card, the Mei Lanfang centennial birthday card, and the Map Test Card? Those three," Jiang Yizhou expressed his desired Phone Cards. He felt it was a bit forced, so he added a few explanations, "My friends all recommended these to me. I don't really understand the market, so I just plan to buy these!"
The Vendor tidied up his sparse hair and didn't feel anything was amiss. It was just a normal transaction; thousands of dollars in sales at each stall were quite common, especially with the recent boom in the Postal Market. He examined the young man, dressed in old clothes, looking like a country bumpkin who had just come to the city. Even if he could buy something, pulling out two or three hundred dollars would be quite high.
Only Jiang Yizhou himself felt like a child clutching a gold bar in a bustling market. For someone who only worked in front of a computer, this kind of worry seemed ridiculous but was also understandable.
"These items? The Pig Card is at least forty-eight dollars, the map card is at least forty-five dollars, and the Mei Lanfang Card is three hundred seventy dollars."
Jiang Yizhou still found it hard to believe; all of them were still below face value. The prices being lower than what the post office was selling them for couldn't be true!
In fact, since April 1996, these Universal Cards, which had been discounted since their release, had finally surpassed their face value. Whether it was due to value recovery or speculation, April marked the time when Universal Card collection prices soared.
"Brother, what's wrong? This isn't expensive at all. Look, this Pig Card and map card both have a face value of fifty dollars—it's clear as day," the Vendor advised.
For someone like Jiang Yizhou, they spoke in terms of face value since he wouldn't understand what made these Phone Cards special. For those involved in collecting, they would explain that the Tamura Card is easy to store and hard to counterfeit, currently undervalued by the market.
"I'll take another look; thank you!" Jiang Yizhou felt increasingly incredulous. What a good time this was! In his previous life, he had checked some related information from early 1996 when the collection prices for Phone Cards skyrocketed. He had never clarified whether it was at the beginning of the Gregorian or lunar year; now he understood it was at the lunar year's start.
But should he compare prices among several vendors? If he could save enough to buy an extra map card, by next March it could be worth thousands. Who knew why during this era when the average national salary was only three to four hundred dollars, those cards with face values of fifty or one hundred could be speculated up to several thousand?
In the Postal Market, he asked several shops consecutively; prices were mostly similar. After all, today's Tamura Card and Universal Magnetic Card did have some collectible value, but they were still new items—only issued since 1994—and especially the Universal Card, which came even later. Unlike stamp collecting, they were less recognized and more treated as consumables.
It was only before April this year that people primarily bought Universal Magnetic Cards for use and consumed many of them. Only after April did items like the Mei Lanfang Card and Pig Card drive interest in collecting Phone Cards.
Finally, he returned to the stall where it all began. The Vendor sat lazily behind the counter, and upon seeing Jiang Yizhou come back, he felt that business was finally picking up. He cheerfully got up and said, "Brother, have you made up your mind? If you buy more than ten tickets, I can give you a discount of one or two bucks!"
Looking at the Vendor, who was grinning like a Maitreya Buddha, Jiang Yizhou gritted his teeth and made the purchase.
In the end, under the Vendor's cheerful farewell, Jiang Yizhou stuffed all thirty-seven map cards he had bought into a box gifted by the Maitreya Buddha. With only a few coins left in his pocket, he stealthily boarded the bus, nervously heading towards Uncle's place.
"Comrade, comrade!"
Jiang Yizhou jumped in surprise and looked up to see the Ticket Seller. "What's wrong?"
The Ticket Seller glanced at him. "Wake up, it's time to buy a ticket. Where to?"
"Oh, oh," Jiang Yizhou pulled out just enough change from his pocket and handed it to the Ticket Seller. "To Nanyuan."
Holding his stomach—more accurately, holding the box tucked under his cotton jacket along with the Phone Card inside worth three thousand now, which might be worth three hundred thousand in the future—Jiang Yizhou's anxious feelings gradually calmed down. Should he wait a few days before going to Yue Tan again?
Whether he could strike it rich depended entirely on this!
