Hello everyone,
I am trying to figure out what my stamp collection is worth. I am either going to sell it on ebay(if it's worth anything) or give it to my nephew(if it's not). Can someone please look at these scans and tell me what I have and if they are worthless or not? I don't know how to grade stamps. They seem to be in great condition. Most aren't tore or bent.





Thanks.
I've only scanned about 1/4 of my collection. I'll update this weekend.

Most of them appear to be somewhat modern. From a quick glance I'd say it is pretty common material with little cash value, but the scans of the individual stamps are too small to properly identify a few of them.

An ideal size would be like this

No stamp is worthless,
your stamps however would not be financially rewarding either,
put them in a plastic zip lock bag
and hide in a stamp catalogue at your library
with a note: "yours for free"
Pass on some Joy.

Lol. Thanks for the advice. I figured they weren't worth anything, but you never know till you ask. It stll will probably be a nice starter collection for my nephew. The Soviet stamps are a nice piece of recent history.

Most of the stamps on the last three rows of your second scan can be identified/explained by checking out this link to a previous thread on the subject:
