Is the new picture book collectible?

Since the publication of the new version of picture books at the beginning of this century, there has been an uproar in the Lianzang market. However, not all the new version of picture books can appreciate rapidly, so it is necessary to pay attention to the tricks in collecting and investing the new version of picture books.

1. masterpiece. For the new version of the "picture book", whether it is a classic drawn by a famous artist is the primary factor to determine whether it can appreciate rapidly in the future. The reason why the old comic books can be reprinted in the decades after their publication is that the famous classic works such as Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon (Zhao Hongben, Qian Xiaodai), Mr. Dong Guo (Liu Jiyou) and the Scout Crossing the River (Gu Bingxin) are deeply loved by people and left a deep impression on readers in those years. These masterpieces are rich in pictures and have a strong sense of hierarchy, which embodies the charm of masterpieces. Therefore, as soon as it appeared, it was enthusiastically sought after by people, and many Tibetan friends who could not afford the old edition of famous masterpieces turned their attention to these new editions, thus forming a situation in which the prices of new editions of famous masterpieces soared. 2. Exquisite printing. Although the prices of many new versions of famous cartoons continue to rise, there are many varieties of famous cartoons. In Liancheng, not all the prices of new comic books can rise, and the quality of printing is also an important factor to determine whether the new comic books can appreciate. For example, the 32-open hardcover edition reprinted by Shangmei has exquisite binding, beautiful images, clear lines and high quality. It can be said that it is the most popular section in all the new editions, such as Wang's Chicken Feathers Flying to Heaven, which was reprinted in May 2004. Pricing 28 yuan, the current market price has exceeded 100 yuan. However, some small and medium-sized publishing houses followed suit to publish "picture books", which not only failed to rise, but entered a discounted state because of blurred images, overlapping lines and poor printing quality. 3. Limited distribution. Under normal circumstances, whether a collection can appreciate depends on how much it exists. Most of the classic cartoons republished by Shang Mei and Ren Mei at the beginning of this century are limited editions, usually around 5,000 copies. However, in the 32-page hardcover edition of Shangmei reprinted in 2004, the circulation of many varieties was only 2000 copies. The ultra-low circulation determines its good appreciation potential, and the comics in this section were deeply appreciated as soon as they entered the cabinet. Many comic book operators are also optimistic about the investment value of this "picture book", and they have bought many reprinted 32-page hardcover books and hoarded them for speculation, so that there is no cheap 32-page hardcover book "picture book" in the market, and even Tibetan friends can only buy it at a high price. 4. The theme is wonderful. Reading comics means reading the theme, and reading comics means reading the content. The theme, content and story of comics are also very important. In Liancheng Tactics, the varieties with faster appreciation in the new edition of picture books are basically excellent in theme, such as the Water Margin, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The Journey to the West, A Dream of Red Mansions and other classic serials. These reprinted books are loved by people of all ages and are salty and pleasant, and naturally sell well. In addition, complete sets of comics with modern themes such as Flying Tigers, Red Sun and Red Rock are also deeply loved by readers. 5. Original packaging. This is a problem that is easily overlooked by Tibetan lovers. Many people will tear off the plastic paper on the outer packaging after buying the new picture book. In fact, this is the investment taboo of the new "picture book". Investing in the new "picture book" is very similar to investing in stamp sheetlets. Due to market hype, the price of the whole unopened sheetlet (100) is much higher than that of 100 scattered sheetlets. The new unopened (unpacked) picture book has more investment value than the unopened one. Some people may say that not opening it violates the important principle of comic book collection-

Grateful. In this regard, the author believes that the same cartoon can be purchased in two or more volumes, one is disassembled and the rest is not disassembled. Keep what has been demolished for observation, and what has not been demolished can be kept until it appreciates before selling.
