Andy looked at the comic strip protected by transparent bags in his hands, and he was really in a mixed mood.
After all, he was exposed to this comic book when he was a child in his previous life. At that time, the first villain book he read was "Eastern Zhou Nations", a set of 50 books, which was to be rented at that time, a dime, and "Three dozens of bone bone essence", at that time there was no TV series of Journey to the West, the villain book is his favorite reading.
The villain book is a kind of feeling for the person born in the 80's. People born in the mid 80's will also have an impression, just cherish them at that time, and wait for them to disappear in their own life, Did not care.
When these villain books showed value, they were bare-footed, because it was likely that they had tens of thousands of villain books in their hands.
Andy looked at the villain's book in the wooden box and felt like he was alive. There is no "East Zhou Dynasty" and "Journey to the West", a set of 60 books with at least 9 "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one No shortage, even the most difficult to collect "Zhu Geliang Crossing the Water", "Fire Burning Camp" and "Liu Beizheng Wu", Andy does not know what the stall's grandfather did, but this comic strip Andy is true I know, after the previous life knew the comic book was valuable, he also collected it, but unfortunately he didn't stick with it because it was too costly and time-consuming.
This "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was gradually published by Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House in 1957-1961. Zhu Guangyu and others respectively. Well, Andy knew a Zhu Guangyu and more than 30 painters. In 2008, there were only five sets of the three kingdoms with the appearance of 9 or more, which shows their preciousness.
Although 16 books of "Dream of Red Mansions" are worth only 1,000 yuan, one of them is worth 350 yuan. The key is not how much it is, but its rarity.
There must be many people who have read the "Railroad Guerrillas" and "Plain Guns", "Minions Zhang Ga" and "Chi Maoxin" in comic books. It is better to sell them if they are in good condition, because a " "Feather Letter" is worth 500,000. . .
The "Water Margin" in the wooden box is also the darling of the collectors in the heavenly dynasty, but this series, except for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms," is not as valuable as the set of rice paper "Mountain Village" that Andy holds in his hand. The three volumes of Mountain and Country Changes drawn by the artist He Youzhi were published in 1978. Someone once bought more than 80,000 for a set of 9.5 looks.
Andy sighed in his heart. If the grandfather who collected these villain books knew that his grandson had sold these things as old books, would he survive.
As for letting Andy tell the stalls the value of these things. . . Well, you think too much, Andy is not the Virgin. It is a **** if you are cheap and not profitable, especially in the antique industry. Eyesight is the fundamental.
Andy closed the box, brought the stack of newspapers in front of him, and asked, "How much do you sell for these two?"
Stephen looked at Andy a little bit tangled. He didn't really know the value, but looking at the expression when Andy asked him just now, these villain books are still a bit valuable, and said with a sorrowful mood: "2000 ... 1000 dollars is enough. After all, it is something that my grandpa has treasured for a long time, and it is a bit valuable to want to come ... "
Andy had no expression on his face, and didn't care about Stephen's voice getting smaller and smaller. He took a dollar from his trouser pocket and offered $ 2,000 to Stephen, who was already a little bit surprised. "These villain books are a bit collectible It ’s valuable, although some are n’t worth it, but it ’s so well-preserved and complete. It ’s really not easy to find. Your grandfather is a real collector, because it ’s not a measure of price, it ’s a feeling. ”
Andy's words moved Stephen very much, and the beautiful knife in his hand was also very satisfied. Well, Andy's heart is now too beautiful, because of the price of a set of "Three Kingdoms". . . About $ 1 million.
It's too dark.
Of course, this price is the highest price that can be sold at the auction in the Heavenly Dynasty, but the three countries in the 1950s could sell at least 3 million RMB.
This is a big leak. Andy is just so satisfied with what he has achieved today. When he wanted to beckon for Joseph to come and help him, he listened to Stephen: "Sir, I have something here, please see if you are interested. ... "
This time it was a small tin box, and Andy was speechless. Open the tin box, and there was a large stack inside. . . telegram.
Andy carefully looked at one by one, most of them are traditional characters. From Xinhai, to the Central Plains War, Zhang Shaoyan changed his ghost, and to the bald anti-Japanese declaration, all of them are of great historical significance. .
"How do you say ... this thing you say is valuable, it is a bit, it is not too much to say that it is waste paper, although it is a bit cliche to measure with money, but it is also the most intuitive, this thing is not worth ..." Andy puts the telegrams in a tin box, covers them, and reaches back to Stephen.
Stephen looked at Andy's expression a little suspiciously, and found that he didn't seem to be lying, and could not help but sigh. Sure enough, although his grandfather liked to collect, he only collected some cheap things, after all, it was not economically allowed.
"Sir, look at buying some money, and I don't think a few people here will understand the value of these things."
Andy retracted his hand and pulled out a hundred dollars from his pants pocket. "It's really not easy to store these things, your grandfather is a respectable person."
"Thank you for being able to meet a buyer like you. I think my grandfather will be happy in heaven ..."
Seeing Stephen look at himself gratefully, Andy really has a seed, this child is too. . . So cute, silly cute.
"How much do you want to sell for this plaque?" Andy asked suddenly before leaving.
"You said this one ... this thing is broken and not good enough, originally my mother wanted to chop it as firewood and burn it in the fireplace. This is not my flea market, so I brought See if it can be sold, after all, the Tianchao characters on it should be well written ... "
Andy looked at the other person and said that he was more and more emboldened. He really felt sad for the dead old man. Couldn't he tell what his collection was before he died?
Well, this broken plaque is indeed worth a few dollars, but Andy asked with hope. With this plaque, will there be other valuable things, after all, this is also the Qianlong Dynasty The plaque, maybe the old man will also collect other antiques when he collects this plaque.
Andy thought it was beautiful, but unfortunately nothing existed with this plaque. He checked it again at the booth and found that the grandfather of the stall owner collected mostly books from the Republic of China, newspapers and the like. Andy picked a few more from it, and even took that broken plaque for another hundred dollars.
Kenny and Joseph looked at Andy with a smile. They did n’t really understand the boss buying these shabby. Actually, the flea market here has good things. To be honest, Andy does n’t know how to read the treasure. I can't lose a few dollars, but Andy knows it. Since he knows he can't distinguish between true and false, then he can honestly exchange and understand what he knows. If he does n’t know how to pretend to collect it, it ’s silly. Missing.
This time it was Joseph who pushed the trailer to send the tattered car back. You ca n’t always let Kenny go. The bodyguard is not a maid. People help you. It ’s friendship. Protecting you is the work of others. Within the scope of bodyguard work, fortunately, Andy and Joseph, Kenny got along for a few months, still very happy. There is nothing unwilling to help Andy to do some work. After all, protecting Andy is really easy. Andy does not like to go to some messy bars or nightclubs. This is really true for their work. It's a lot easier.
Kenny still followed Andy far away. Andy was like a curious baby. Look left and right. Of course, some ragged shirts and other things are far from him. They mainly look at things with a long history.
When passing by a stall, Andy was a little surprised to find that there are three Tianchao people in suits. Why do they know they are Tianchao people? Because the three of them are bargaining for a painting and the stall owner.
The three seemed to be very dissatisfied with the price stated by the stall owner. Andy stepped forward and looked around. It was a yellowed landscape scroll. Andy didn't understand it. I just listened to the meaning of these people. The painting was not clear. At present, it is not clear who is writing, and the payment is not very easy to distinguish. The stall owner, a Chinese, seems to be a connoisseur, gritted his teeth, and said that the painting was from the Qing Dynasty and flowed from the palace. Yes, it's baby, asking for $ 100,000.
The three Tianchao people seem to come to Taobao in Los Angeles. Andy is a bit surprised. After all, the Taobao army in Tianchao will rush to various countries after 2008. The world ’s scattered money repurchases lost national treasures. I did not expect to encounter them now.
Andy couldn't help but shine, the three of them must be very knowledgeable, otherwise they would not be entangled with this stall owner for so long, but I do n’t know if it was a trust. Such a situation was bad in the heavens. Andy was very bad. Tangled.
With the development of the matter, Andy determined that they were not a liar, okay, the three of them really paid for the painting, but it was not 100,000 US dollars, but 50,000. .
I do n’t know what era and the author ’s drawing axis was installed by three people in a cylinder. It seems very careful. Andy can only look at it. Some common sense in the antique world he still learned through some books from the starting god. When others are talking about transactions, they can't intersect horizontally. Lao Mei doesn't understand, but his soul is a heavenly man.
Besides, what if it was fake? Fifty thousand is not money! Andy can only comfort himself.
