At present, Mao Zedong's Medal of Honor is more and more valued and loved by collectors. In a big way, the chairman's badge has certain collection value. However, due to the variety and huge number of badges, especially during the "Cultural Revolution", according to statistics, there were more than 40,000 kinds and more than 5 billion badges. Both are Mao Zedong's badges. Due to the differences in materials, contents and production time, their market values vary greatly. There are several aspects worthy of attention in the actual collection of badges: early chapters: the number of badges made before liberation is very small, and some have become orphans, which are very precious revolutionary cultural relics. Badges with special shapes: The most common badges are round, star, rectangle, square and sunflower. Not balanced, such as red flag shape, fan shape, diamond shape, national emblem shape, shield shape, book shape, whole shape, body shape and so on. Most badge patterns are left-facing. In contrast, full-length portraits, frontal portraits, portraits, multi-person portraits, and faces facing right are rare. Alien badges are about 2-3 times the market price of similar ordinary badges. Special seals: Some seals are engraved with foreign languages on the back, mostly in English and French, with political slogans, casting sites or revolutionary memorial sites, such as "Beijing, China" and "Jinggangshan, a red resort", and some are written by compatriots from all walks of life in Hong Kong and Macao, which is really rare. Badges made in China's ethnic minority autonomous regions generally carry Tibetan, Mongolian and other minority languages, which are also rare treasures, and badges with seal characters and Braille are even more rare. The market price of each badge is mostly above 100 yuan. Commemorative medals: Commemorative medals are generally issued at a specific time, place and background, with a small number and strong political nature. There are many commemorative words on the back, which have special commemorative significance and historical value.

National Seal: During the Cultural Revolution, it was very common for local governments and units to make badges. However, some "state-level" units such as "China People's Political Consultative Conference" and "Central Delegation" have little circulation. Only those engraved with the words "China" are more precious. Luminous badge. In order to highlight "the red sun shines forever", some luminous badges were made during the Cultural Revolution. There are metal luminous, ceramic luminous, plexiglass luminous, wood luminous and so on. Among them, the number of wooden and ceramic luminous is very small, which is even rarer than gold badges.

The market price of the wrong chapter is often ridiculously high, and things are rare, and some ask for thousands of dollars. Seal with excellent appearance: appearance is the life of the collection, and it is rare to see seals well preserved until now. Some seals with good themes and varieties will greatly reduce their collection value if their appearance is not good. In the words of the old collectors, the collection pays attention to the appearance. If the badge is badly worn or incomplete, it is undoubtedly scrap iron. Appearance is the key factor that restricts the value of badges, and only those with good appearance have good prices. Chapter set. Like stamps, there are complete sets of Mao Zedong badges, such as poems, base areas and model operas.
