Jason Chow, New Record For Chinese Stamps Set. China Real Time, Sept. 7,
2010.
http://cn.wsj.com/big5/20100907/trv082714_ENversion.shtml

Quote:

"The sheet of 25 green stamps, along with an accompanying sheet of a similar
design but in red, went on the auction block on Saturday at Phila China.
When the bidding was over, the lot sold for just over 10 million Hong Kong
dollars (about US$1.3 million), setting a new record for a set of Chinese
stamps.

"What made the green set so interesting to collectors is that they're a full
, unmarked sheet in mint condition -- the only one known to exist. The red
set, also rare, is one of only two known to collectors.

"The last time the green stamps came to light was in the early 1980s, when a
Taiwanese collector bought them at an auction.
