I'm posting some pictures of this set of 20 picture postcards of Graf Zeppelin's. They are unused, with flaws, they have been stowed away for quite some time.

Does anyone know anything about them?

Very nice, Andy!!

A quick glance, and I can make out at least 3 different Zeppelins -- the LZ-1, Graf Zeppelin, and the Hindenburg.

I don't know the answer to your question. Sorry.

Here's a nice link on basic zeppelin history (the airship, not the band) if anyone is interested.

Cool website thanks, I'm not very knowledgeable about them or the postcards. Are post cards valuable?

I don't collect post cards, either. But the cover dealers tell me they tend to sell well if you match it to the right collector.

Very nice set of Zepps. It would be really cool if they were used on the actual air ships.

Yes postcards can be valuable. They are slowly taking over some stamp bourses where there will be more postcard dealers than stamp dealers. I dabble in Route 66 and Abraham Lincoln postcards as an offshoot of my topical stamp & cover collections. I think postcard collectors are known as "deltiologist" or something like that.

Very nice postcards, and yes they are worth more than the average postcard. Good topic and postcards in general have been selling well worldwide. I have a local auction house near me and whenever there's postcards up for auction the prices are amazingly high.

Stampdude mentions "It would be really cool if they were used on the actual air ships" I was thinking the same thing. I'll keep an eye on e-bay to see if any of the ones I have come up for auction.

This one was on ebay just recently under the title
' 1911 AIRSHIP PHOTOCARD CANADA ' for $5.00 under Topical Transportation category.

A different view than usual, looks impressive, I almost bought it!
