Scott #C10a [1927 10c dark blue Lindbergh BOOKLET PANE] NEVER HINGED with typical Average-Fine centering. The centering is such because the panes and covers were trimmed into completed booklets after they had been assembled, thus the cutter operator was working "blind". Very reasonably priced. (Scott 2025 value $115.)
ACTUAL item.
Scott #C10a [1927 10c Dark Blue Lindbergh BOOKLET PANE]. Mint, moderately hinged, with VF-XF centering. Each stamp well centered, with center stamp XF or better. Very hard to find so nicely centered; this pane is usually poorly centered. Wonderfully fresh and completely "solid" with NO bends, NO creases, NO folding, NO gum skips, and NO excuses -- just hinged. An outstanding example! (Scott 2024 Graded Pricing is $80 for VF-XF/85, but in my opinion that is low for this quality.)

Scott #C14 [1930 $1.30 brown Graf Zeppelin] Used with VF-XF centering and neat (LAKE)HURST, (NJ) duplex cancellation. Of course Lakehurst is where the Hindenburg crashed and burned. Right interior margin example, with guideline at right, from the right-most column of one of the two left panes of 50 from the printer sheet of 200.This issue was printed in sheets of 200, which were divided into panes of 50 (5 rows x 10 columns), separated by tearing (not cutting) along the perforations (thus no straight edges) vertically (right and left guidelines) and horizontally (bottom and top guidelines). All the guidelines terminate with an arrow in the outer edge margin of the printer sheet. Up to 40 stamps out of every 200 stamps (up to 20%) originally had a guideline at left and/or right and up to 20 stamps out of every 200 stamps (up to 10%) originally had a guideline at bottom and/or top; the guideline may only show on one or the other of those stamps, or may show on the perforation tips of both. Examples with the guideline fully in the margin of one stamp (and thus not showing on the perforation tips of the adjacent stamp of the next pane) are more desireable, even though, by definition, they are poorly centered, and are fairly unusual in this issue. Examples showing the intersection of the vertical and horizontal guidelines, which can exist in four positions out of 200 in the printer sheet, are particularly hard to find. Guidelines are surprising hard to find on the Zeppelin stamps because many of those that survived have since been reperforated to remove the guideline to "improve" their appearance. (Also, because the guideline edge was also the edge of the pane, sometimes the guideline perforations have become blunted or damaged.) I believe that collecting such stamps (which have become scarce over time due to being reperforated) could be a challenging and enjoyable endeavor. Remarkably well centered example. (Scott 2025 graded value for VF-XF centering is $425, not taking into account the greater scarcity of a guideline example.)

Scott #C15 [1930 $2.60 blue Graf Zeppelin] Used with VF/XF centering with large, balanced margins. There are a couple blunted perforations, but this stamp looks very nice. Right interior margin example, with guideline at right, from the right-most column of one of the two left panes of 50 from the printer sheet of 200.This issue was printed in sheets of 200, which were divided into panes of 50 (5 rows x 10 columns), separated by tearing (not cutting) along the perforations (thus no straight edges) vertically (right and left guidelines) and horizontally (bottom and top guidelines).

Top right stamp has traces of plate over-inking (very unusual on this issue) which actually has the appearance of a plate crack!. Lower right stamp has natural gum skip (but it is still NH). All four stamps have at least XF centering (Scott 2021 $115 for XF-90). The lower left stamp would likely grade at XF/Superb-95 (Scott 2021 $170 for XF/Superb-95).
