4 Key Components of Value / 影响邮票价值的四大要素

1. Mint Gum Condition / 邮票背胶状态

MNH (Mint Never Hinged / 全新原胶未贴): Highest value, untouched original gum.
MH (Mint Hinged / 贴胶/有贴痕): Stamp has hinge mark on the back.
RG (Re-gummed / 人工刷胶): Fake gum applied to conceal damage, lower value.

MNH (全新原胶未贴): 价值最高,背胶保持出厂原始状态。
MH (全新有贴痕): 背面留有贴片痕迹。
RG (后刷胶): 为掩盖缺陷而人工补胶,价值显著低于原胶。

2. Centering & Margins / 图案居中度与边幅

A stamp where the design is perfectly centered within all four white borders commands a premium of 20% to 100% over off-center copies.

图案在四条白边正中央(均等白边)的“正居中”邮票,溢价可达普通品相的 20% 至 100%。

3. Cancellation Quality (Used Stamps) / 盖销邮戳品质(信销票)

Light, clear, and dated postmarks (Light Cancel) are highly sought after. Heavy, oily, or blacked-out cancels diminish facial beauty and market price.

信销票以邮戳清晰、图案覆盖少(轻戳/圆腰戳)为上。黑重浓油墨戳会严重破坏画面美感,降低收藏价值。

4. Paper Soundness / 纸张完好度

The paper must be free of thinning, tears, pinholes, foxing (yellow spots), or iron rust spots. Thinning on the back reduces value drastically.

纸张须无揭薄、裂口、针孔、黄斑或锈斑。背面揭薄(Thin)会使邮票价值大幅受损。
