Hi all,

Since bobby brought up the sale on ebay for the #C15, I thought I would share mine and ask how y'all would rate these.










Backs... in same order. Some evidence of previous hinges on first 2.



Thanks,
Eagle

Beautiful! I always considered these to be the Holy Grail of us stamps. Yes, I know many others cost more, but I still feel these are the best looking! I was able to take a 45 minute ride on one in 2010 in the airship Eureka. It was made by the successor to the Zeppelin company but the US company went broke. There is still one in Germany that flies.

Nice, Eagle!

I just acquired my first Zeppelin (c13) recently. I hope to have a full set eventually. Looking forward to what the experienced collectors have to say.

Worst looking stamps I've ever seen!

I'll give you $20 for them.

Just kidding; very nice and thanks for sharing.

When you are asking about unused stamps, the back side becomes nearly as important as the front. Are there thins, mold, hinges, gum skips, even the gum look has a "say" about the quality of the stamp. The front looks great but....

Thanks, I do like these lots and congrats fimpster.

Art, I hear what your saying...though when I look at them, I never pull them out to look at the back, that's just me.

Gems on the front...... the backs are not that bad to distract that much. You can still get a good price for them if you decide to sell. To me the C15 is almost as nice as the one on ebay, but then I'm a Newby. Just for asking I know you don't want to sell and I'm not asking to buy but if you decided to sell what do you think the set would bring?
