Hi Andrew,
I can't really be of help, but thanks for posting the pics. That is quite an interesting set that you have there.

I can find no reference to this book at all. Incidentally, I think it is the ZHAO Imperial Tomb and not ZHAD.
I have seen a number of similar publications but differing on subject. I would imagine that although the stamp content (and 'silver' reproductions) have little value, the book itself is probably a very high quality work and beautifully bound.
I would certainly find shelf space for this if I owned it.
Perhaps auction is really the only place to find its real value.

This is typical modern commercial product. There is some value if you like the content and presentation, but there is no collectible value in my opinion.
I see one website listed as $50, nobody buys it.

Thanks everyone for your replies.
Appreciate your info samlieu. Like Ningpo I was unable to find any information or value on Google.
This set came to me in a miscellaneous box of philately paraphernalia purchased at a very modest price, so as this is not my field of interest, would there be any value in breaking the set and selling sheets off separately? Or alternatively I could start an auction off at $1 and let the market decide.
BTW - are the stamps usable in China for postage or are they cinderellas?

Actually, there is value in the stamps in that book, so don't write it off as postage.
Do you see those 2 miniature panes of 6 stamps? Those 2 panes are actually print varieties (background on white instead of fawn, as with the regular stamps shown in the partial pane of 24).
In the 2016 Scott catalog, those 2 miniature panes catalog for $16 each (italicized). There has been no change in that price since the last decade. But it's actually not an easy variety to find.
I've pretty much stayed out of collecting China since the speculation craze. I don't collect areas that are dominated by speculators. But I would suggest to you to hang on to those 2 miniature panes for another 1-2 years -- I think it's a "sleeper" issue that will get targeted eventually. If you decide to sell them now, at least make sure you ID them correctly if you list them, as they are NOT the common variety for that issue.

Thanks for that valuable info.
Sounds like I should hang on for the time being.
BTW. Do you know if the 24 maxi-sheet and cover have values shown in Scott catalogue?
The cover has a 2.80 stamp - amazingly the CTO is not over the stamp
I have just found some info here listed under
2001 Horse Relief Sculptures, Zhaoling Mausoleum
http://www.stampworld.com/en/stamps/China,-Peoples-Rep./Postage%20stamps/?year=2001
Mini sheets $US17.03
Strip of 6 $US2.84
Maxi sheet and cover - not mentioned.

The $2.80 stamp is actually part of the set of 7.
Scott does not have a value for the full pane of 24, nor on-cover price. As is currently, there will not really be a premium for the full pane, so just multiply the strip of six price by 4.
The 2016 Scott catalog prices (mint/used):
China #3145 (strip of 6) = $3.50/$3.00
China #3145f ($2.80 stamp) = $1.00/$0.90
China #3145g,h (sheets of 6 on white background) = $16.00/-- (each sheetlet)
Maybe I got you confused with someone else, but in a place far away, didn't you used to have the £1 Arms of Australia stamp as your avatar? Again, maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Many thanks once again.
I may have but I cant remember using the £1 Arms of Australia stamp as my avatar, - unless it was one of the site avatars available at the time. I have lived in Australia and sold off other forums under the same name BasSWarwick. Generally I use the NZ penny stamp with a flaw as an avatar.

I have a couple similar on different topics. They are very nice.
I've tried to sell them on Ebay with no luck. Not sure what the magic number on them is.

Magic number is always $1 and then hope to get a frenzy going
