Is someone interested in receiving mailart with stamps from the current series "Schätze der Philaterie" on it?

The german post office issues stamps from the series "Schätze der Philaterie" (treasures of philaterie). For example with a picture of the "Baden Fehldruck" (Baden misprint) or a picture of a letter with the blue and red mauritius on it  - etc.(at the moment they have three diffenret stamps in this series but it seems to continue)

I would add a little note with the short story about the stamp.
