(BEIJING, October 13) -- To celebrate the
300-day countdown to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, the Beijing
Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG)
is to issue a one-time series of 11 licensed "countdown"
products across three categories: insignia, commemorative badges
and precious metal products. The 300-day countdown licensed
product series will have a limited issue of 2,008 sets.
BOCOG will also release a series of close to one hundred
assorted popular licensed products for the 300-day countdown in
hot-selling categories like handicrafts, ceramics, silk
products, umbrellas, and precious metal products, etc.
The purpose of the "Olympic countdown" licensed product
series is to commemorate every significant milestone on the road
to the Games in Beijing. With a relatively long interval between
each milestone, and due to the limited-issue of the products,
items in the "countdown" series have a high collector's value.
According to insiders at BOCOG, collectors can look forward
to "Olympic countdown" licensed products for the 200-day,
100-day and 10-day countdown milestones as well.
