Between 1931 and 1935, Paraguay issued five sets of stamps for use on the Graf Zeppelin flights to South America. All of these sets are inexpensive, scarce, and popular among collectors of both South America and Zeppelin stamps and covers. I've listed them below, along with their printing quantities and Scott '10 Catalog Values for unused.
C54-55 1931 Pictorial Zeppelin overprint (20,000;$ 30.00)
C74-78 1932 Triangular Zeppelin stamps (30,000; $ 23.00)
C79-83 1933 Zeppelins (15,000; $ 30.50) - counterfeits exist
C88-92 1934 Zeppelins, "1934" Overprint (7,500; $ 26.50 )
C93-97 1935 Zeppelins, "1935" Overprint (7,000;$ 47.50)
Zeppelin stamps and covers are extremely popular among "Zepp" collectors and Aviation topicalists, especially in Europe. Those issued by destination-countries which are likely prospects for rapid economic development are compelling investments, in my opinion.
With about 6 1/2 million people, Paraguay is an emerging market nation with the potential to become a major agricultural exporter. Its subtropical climate allows for 5 harvests every 24 months, and it has vast tracts of virgin arable land. In addition, manufacturing has shown strong growth in the production of edible oils, garments, organic sugar, meat processing, and steel. Annual GDP growth has averaged 4.5% over the past 5 years, and was steadily increasing until it experienced a recent slight decline due to the global financial crisis.
