Nice auction I went to today.....

Greg Doll

I don't know what you actually paid for them but,,,,,Jeez! I might need reconsider my pricing on the TT's I have listed.

Your prices seem about right, but I don't see Zepplins...

Those I had to pay a bit more for....

Greg Doll

No Zepps, those are a bit more of a challenge. I'm guessing then that those were auction estimates. Gracias.

Delcampe has a huge selection for price comparisons

Greg Doll

Thanks Carol.

Those were 1984 catalog prices.

The auction was from a collector/dealer who died a while back and supposedly hadn't been touched since the 80s

Did Scott ever give the Touva Zeps a number, or are they still considered Cinderellas?

The 3 "Zepps" pictured are part of a set of 9 - Scott Nos. C10-C18. The stamps pictured are CTO and catalog:

25k Zepp - $ 2.50
75k Zepp - $ 4.00
1s Seaplane - $ 5.00

The entire set of 9 catalogs $26,25 used / $65.50 mint (2012 Classic values).

Like I said, I didn't get a great bargain on the zepplins. I wanted them for own collection and there was an older gentleman bidding on almost the foreign. He made me pay through the nose for a Russian collection I wanted.
