I am still chasing two of the to complete my German New Guinea collection Sc# 18 & 19 ,trouble is some sellers don't know the difference between Sc# 19 and Sc# 23.Also Stanley Gibbons does not list Sc#20/23 as they were never issued for postage and only sold in Berlin.
I do have this set only replicas though as you can tell by the mistake on the lower values.If only they were genuine.

Dear Advanced U.S.Collectors,
There's a small group of us looking to improve our collections through swapping/buying/selling using catalog value for catalog value as a way to evaluate the trade.
This is an open invitation to come join us (look for the discussion line under Topics) and
perhaps consider doing something along these lines with your own area's of interest. Just saying!
Best,
Dan C.

I would think your comments would be misleading to people who are not familiar with the large Kaiser Yachts. Roughly 1/2 of the large yachts catalog from between $5 and $15 in mint condition. Used stamps are often much more. They are very popular collecting area and one of my favorites as well. I have 43 large yachts but have never spent a lot of money acquiring them. Anyone wanting to collect these beautiful stamps should not be put off thinking they are not affordable. Although there is always competition in bidding on these,. most any collector should be able to put together a reasonable showing of them.

Auctions
I just received my third large Kaisers yacht ..from one of our Stamporama auction folks. I remember being in my 30s with 3 young children..who got first draw on any of our income. I saw the large Yachts in the auction catalogs and thought how beautiful and out of range they were for me. I believe the internet has a lot to do with them becoming more accessible to collectors . If i get two more i will have a fleet !
