Extreme stamp collecting

Mass cultural activities focusing on the production, collection, appreciation and learning of extreme postcards. It is one of the ways of collecting stamps, and it is also a category of philatelic exhibitions stipulated by the International Philatelic Federation (FIP). Philatelic circles in Taiwan Province Province are called original philately. Extreme stamp collecting rose with the birth of extreme movies. It originated in Europe, and France took the lead in establishing the Extreme Postcard Fans Association in 1954. Belgium, Germany, the United States and some Asian countries have successively set up extreme philatelic organizations, founded postal magazines and held postal exhibitions.

The International Philatelic Federation attaches great importance to extreme philately, and has set up an extreme philately committee, formulated the evaluation rules for extreme philately, and held several extreme philatelic seminars and special extreme philatelic exhibitions. Extreme stamp collecting has become one of the indispensable main categories of international and world stamp exhibitions.

The extreme philately in China began in 1950s, and Polish philatelist M Haitz Ski was in 1956. Stamp collecting magazine wrote an article about extreme postcards, which aroused great interest of stamp collectors in China. In 1980s, extreme stamp collecting developed rapidly. Dozens of large and medium-sized cities such as Shanghai, Guangdong, Beijing, Taiyuan, Chongqing and Tianjin set up extreme stamp collecting organizations, published publications and carried out various extreme stamp collecting activities. 1983, extreme stamp collecting enters the national stamp exhibition, 1994, extreme stamp collecting goes abroad to participate in the Asian International Stamp Exhibition. In China 1999 World Stamp Exhibition, China's extreme exhibits "Door" and "Mammal" won the gold medal and the silver medal respectively. Extreme stamp collecting is in the ascendant in the world and China.

China national philatelic corporation made the first limited-release film by post. "Beneficial Birds" published in September 1982, numbered MCI, was produced in batches by postal limited-edition films, which was highly commercialized and difficult to collect, and its participation in evaluation was lower than that of self-made limited-edition films with the same stamps.

Self-made limit piece

Extreme films produced by philatelists or groups according to the requirements of the evaluation rules of extreme philately. Because the self-produced film has its own characteristics, small quantity and great difficulty, it can become a very limited film and has a high evaluation.

Nature film

Pictures and postcards exist "naturally" for communication, appreciation and collection, that is, they do not exist specifically for making limited-edition movies. These postcards were printed by postal departments or non-postal departments, and most of them existed before the stamps were issued. For example, a set of 10 art postcards (No.US 1) issued by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in 1952. Some people call extreme films made of natural postcards natural films.

Special printing film

Symmetry of natural films. Landscape postcards specially printed for making extreme movies. Most of them are printed by stamp collecting companies and organizations, and some are printed by individuals. Generally, stamps are issued at the same time or in advance, which weakens the nature of "special printing". Some people call the limited edition film made of specially printed postcards as specially printed film.

The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of China issued a notice on 1953, and postal postcards were uniformly printed by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and inherited the new printing standard (i.e. format) of postcards in China. Format is an important symbol that distinguishes postcards from pictures in China.

Pre-ticket movie

Postcards with natural pictures are available before stamps are issued. Postcards specially designed to be printed before stamps are issued, although they can be called advance tickets in time, are still classified as special prints by extreme philatelists. Front tickets are the first choice for making limited-edition films. Extreme philatelic rules require that photo postcards be printed and distributed as early as possible before stamps are issued.

Back film of ticket

The front of the ticket is symmetrical. Landscape postcards issued after stamps. Extreme philatelic rules require that landscape postcards printed after stamps are issued must be reprinted according to the existing printed patterns.

Synchronous film

This is a landscape postcard issued at the same time as the stamp. Most of them are printed for making limited edition films, belonging to the category of special printing films. It has nothing to do with the design and issuance of stamps, which is purely coincidental, such as synchronous nature films.

Same business card

Picture postcard with the same name as the stamp. For example, TI44 "Hangzhou West Lake" and "Santan Yin Yue" have more business cards.

Early movies

Postcards with early pictures were issued. Foreign countries refer to 65438+the early period before the 1920s. In China, postcards before 1949, that is, postcards from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, are generally regarded as early films. Early limited-edition movies are also called early movies.

Reprint a film

Postcards reprinted according to existing picture postcards (not referring to the original publisher's reprinting). Some are called old films and imitation films. For example, Suzhou Guwuxuan Publishing House reprinted Old Shadows of Gusu based on postcards of Qing Dynasty and Republic of China for making limited-edition films. Some extreme films taken by reprinting postcards are also called reprinting.

Standard film

The main requirements of the rules are: stamps must be valid postage certificates; Postcards and pictures meet the specified size; Postmark patterns and place names should be closely and directly related to the theme and/or theme of stamps and postcards; Stamps, postcards and postmarks should be as harmonious as possible.

Similar to movies

A combination of stamps and postcards with the same theme but different pictures. For example, the portrait stamp of Sun Yat-sen is affixed to the picture postcard of Sun Yat-sen's former residence and stamped with the postmark. In the early days, it was also listed as a restricted film.

Inverted paper

Stamp design and postcard pictures are the same thing, but the view is the opposite of extreme film. For example, T29 "Arts and Crafts" limited edition film, the carrier is 1978 Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House postcard, the picture is the same as the real thing, the stamp pattern is reversed, and the direction is opposite. This is mainly because the film is printed backwards.

This kind of movie is called a mixed-race movie.

Perfect counterpoint

Postcard pictures and stamp patterns correspond to each other in subject matter, composition, angle and orientation. Because extreme postcards enlarged according to stamps are not allowed to be displayed, the picture of postcards should not be exactly the same as stamps.

Sanyihui

Theme, place and time are three harmonious abbreviations. Theme and/or theme harmony, that is, the best harmony between stamp theme and picture postcard picture; Harmony of places, that is, the name (pattern) of the place or scenery on the postmark is related to the theme and/or theme of stamps and postcards; The time is harmonious and consistent, that is, within the validity period of stamps, the cancellation time should be as close as possible to the date of issue of stamps, and the first day is the best.
