The Guangzhou Asian Games may have come to an end, but the enthusiasm of Foshan residents for collecting Asian Games memorabilia remains strong. Recently, the author visited several souvenir outlets, including ICBC, Postal Savings Bank, and Huijing Book City, and found that Asian Games-themed items are still in high demand. Among the most sought-after collectibles are gold and silver commemorative souvenirs, first-day covers, and unique trinkets, which continue to attract both collectors and casual buyers. Industry experts suggest that while many Asian Games souvenirs carry sentimental and collectible value, not all of them hold investment potential. For instance, gold and silver commemorative coins issued by the People's Bank of China, along with official stamps and first-day covers, are considered more valuable for long-term collection. However, other items such as precious metal souvenirs, ceramics, and small jewelry—though popular among fans—may not necessarily appreciate in value over time. During a visit to an ICBC branch on Minjiang Road, the author noticed that several Asian Games gold and silver souvenir sets had already sold out. One customer purchased three sets of gold key souvenirs and ten sets of silver abacus items at once. According to the buyer, some were kept for personal collection, while others were bought as meaningful gifts for family members. According to an ICBC representative, the bank began selling gold and silver souvenirs on the afternoon of November 5th, and in just one day, they sold over 2,500 sets, including 600 sets of silver keys and abacuses. Some items were completely sold out within hours. Similarly, the postal service’s Asian Games first-day cover collection also experienced a quick sell-out. On the opening day of the Games, the limited edition stamp and first-day cover sold out in under an hour. Although additional shipments arrived later, each batch was quickly snapped up within two days. Currently, fewer than ten sets remain, and it is expected they will be gone within the next one or two days. In addition to traditional collectibles, commemorative jewelry and ceramic items have also become popular. At Huijing Book City, the Asian Games licensed merchandise store offered a wide variety of souvenirs. A middle-aged man was particularly drawn to a set of ceramic figurines priced at around 20,000 yuan each and ordered five of them. Near the trinket counter, a group of young people, likely students, were browsing through Asian Games-themed keychains and other small souvenirs. According to a sales associate, although these items lack significant investment value, their affordability and emotional appeal make them popular among younger buyers. The most popular items include commemorative keychains and the "Mao Duzi" (a symbolic figure representing the Games). Experts caution that while some Asian Games souvenirs may have collectible value, they should not be viewed as investment opportunities. Mr. Yan Weigang from Guangdong Yuebao Gold Investment Co., Ltd. noted that the price of Asian Games-themed gold and silver coins has not yet spiked, so there is no risk of overvaluation. However, collector Ye Hui warned that the issue price of these items is often 2/3 to double their intrinsic value. For example, the Asian Games gold bar was priced higher than the Shanghai Gold Exchange rate by 50–60 yuan per gram, making them less attractive for investors compared to regular bullion.
