Sorry, TBG, all are common with little value if you were going to try to sell them.

The value is in what you can learn from them and how you can enjoy them.
Good luck-- Ray

When I wasn't logged in, I saw about 75 stamps in your upper link and many more pages, one with a foreign stamp. Now I see 2 pages with about 38 stamps. There aren't any of value here even if you get lucky and find a variant on a couple of those. So the question becomes...do they interest you? If you want to try to identify the older ones, (pre-1920) use this link.

Don't look for your exact stamp. Look for the design it looks closest to. Don't pay much attention to the prices. even if you have a mounted unused stamp in there. I hope they aren't glued to the paper.

thank you for answering that question... I guess at this point it would be better to have them looked at since the Post cards are maybe worth more value than the stamps but again I would not have any idea or clue.. about anything or them...

the value I believe would only come to whom they Belonged too. maybe.. at this point.. so I had posted a Auction question before pertaining to that on here ... but no one really said anything on who would make the best fit for that.. either British or USA .. I am not really sure.

The stamps I saw were on album pages, not post cards. I hope we are talking apples and apples. They were US stamps, except for the lone foreign stamp you have. I don't know what country that is from. If it says "shillings" it might be GB. Sorry, I don't collect WW stamps, just US. You might post an image from your photo-bucket of your foreign stamp in the "World Classic Stamps Mint and Used" or (not and) "World Modern Stamps Mint and Used" forums. I mean don't post the same thing in both forums at the same time.

If you posted your question in the Active Auctions forum, that might explain why you didn't get an answer. Wrong place.

Hope I understood you right.


Hope this helps

This would make sense...lol. and no I did not see that .. I will repost maybe in the other Forum.. the Post Cards and stamps I havent uploading them to the Photo bucket.. so this is why you maybe didnt see them there.... I havent had a chance to scan them.. Really there are too many to get on there it will take a little time...

Just trying to find out what Direction to go as far as Auction for this Collection being that of whom it Belonged too... thank you so much for the Info...

:)

The random capitalized words are odd - is that some kind of hint or secret message?

Did this collection belong to someone of importance?

The thing about Postcards is they were the cheapest form of communication and the Postcard rate for many years was 1˘, the most common stamp value. So there are literally millions and millions of them and the supply outweighs the demand. Some can fetch decent money but they're far and few between.

The 1 shilling Queen Victoria appears to be Great Britain, scott # 122, which shows in my 2006 scott as being worth about $70.00. Of course, you would probably not be able to sell it for that amount. It is a nice example.
