Welcome to the forum cosmo

Sorry to say that the stamps you have scanned are only common types and do not have much of a value. They are called 'definitive' types and were printed by the millions.

Ditto. You probably couldn't sell these at any price.

Hello cosmoxxxx, welcome to Stamp Community.

These are common stamps, agreed, but rather more nice than not, for a beginner stamp collector, or replacements for worse centered stamps or more heavily cancelled ones.

The crease across the 9c orange is unfortuneate as this detracts from the looks, and some collectors prefer all preforations or punch holes around the edges of the stamp rather than straight lines. Lately though, straight lines have been considered important stamps as well as any others, showing the edges of the panes or sheets.

The target and numeral oval barred cancels, being the obliterator parts of two-part duplex cancels, with the circlular date stamp part being the first part, are nice to see and add interest.
