Silent 13-year-old card market is picking up

In January 2011, the CPI increased by as much as 4.9%. The first working day after the holiday period announced a rate hike and the deposit reserve ratio was raised twice in a row. All signs indicate that the word “anti-inflation” has become an inevitable focus in 2011. , coupled with the fact that the stock market has not yet stabilized and the property market continues to govern, people are beginning to dig gold into the collectibles market. After the coins and stamps became "safe havens" for private investors against inflation, the magnetic card market, which had been quiet for 13 years, also showed signs of recovery. Prices have picked up, and buying has gradually increased.

The magnetic card market has been quiet for 13 years

The magnetic cartoon in the collectibles market refers to Tamura Card, which is the general name for Japanese technology magnetic cards, because the corresponding magnetic card telephones are manufactured by Japan's Tamura Corporation and its cooperative companies. Tamura Card is the earliest telephone magnetic card used in China and is now replaced by IC cards. When Tamura Card was issued in the early days, as a new thing, it did not attract the attention of collectors. People mainly used to make telephone calls, which led to a large amount of natural consumption. Afterwards, with the increase in the number of issuance packages, plus the exquisite printing and wide range of topics, people gradually paid attention to and gradually took a place in the market. In 1997, there was even a rare stir of climax, and the degree was far more intense than that of the same year. Stamp market and coin market. The face value of 380 yuan "Mei Lanfang 100th anniversary" was speculation to 14,000 yuan a set, the face value of 50 yuan Zodiac "Yi Hai pig year" when the highest price of 3500 yuan a piece.

Then, after that, the magnetic card market went down year by year and began a 13-year period of silence, with a large number of card enthusiasts engaged in dips. Although there have been several wave rebounds since 2000, they have been short-lived and the magnetic card market has since become a forgotten corner.

The postal market pushes the card market to pick up

Since last year, with the influx of a large amount of hot money, the market for stamps and coins has started a wave of buzz. With the strong rise in the postal currency sector, the value of the magnetic card market has begun to show up and there has been a compensatory growth effect. Some of the early varieties of good magnetic cards were favored by investors and started to rise in price. Especially after the Spring Festival, there was a strong rise. Mei Lanfang rose from over 700 yuan at the beginning of last year to about 3,000 yuan. At the end of last year, at the end of the year, the 80-year-old trend of the previous year jumped to 380 yuan in one fell swoop, and it further increased by 600 yuan. Some other "junk cards" that were discounted a few years ago have now all returned to their face value, and discount cards have basically disappeared.

Chen Fuyuan, the owner of the Anan Post Office on the third floor of the Hangzhou Collection Market, told reporters that since the year of the Lunar New Year, the “Chinese Zodiac Rabbit” leaflet has been sought after by many investors. It was only 65 yuan a year ago, and it was years later. In one breath, the price rose to 140 yuan. “Yesterday (February 19), there were individuals who bought 800 zodiac rabbits in this tone of my breath. I didn’t have any eyes to look at, and I was still reluctant to ship.” Chen Fuyuan told reporters that he judged himself. The magnetic card market is picking up, not only because of the rebound in prices, but there is also an important reason that buying has gradually increased. Recently, the number of buyers who came to buy cards is one knife (50 sheets) or even one (1000 sheets).

Rational investment is important

As the earliest collector of magnetic cards in China, Chen Fuyuan believes that from an investment point of view, it may be a good opportunity for bargain-hunting at present, but he also reminded the investors that since the card market has accumulated for more than a decade, it is difficult to return. It is very heavy. Whether or not the card market can continue to be good this year remains to be further examined by the market. Investors must avoid eager for quick successes and profits, and must ensure that they use their spare cash in their hands to carry out rational investment, because it is unlikely that a crazy market like 1997 will occur, and it must also consider whether they can afford a certain amount of time.

In the selection of varieties, Chen Fuyuan is more optimistic about other varieties of the zodiac, except for the "Zodiac Rabbit", which is not a big gain. At the same time, the card of the "Zhuang Autonomous Region of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region" has provided some space for speculation because of its false card rumors, and it has also become a market. A hot topic of concern, "Tea Culture" has a certain investment value due to the historical culture of China.
