I can't imagine any collector referring to any stamps as "junk".

Unfortunately, this is an example of "stamp snobs" being discussed in another thread. Any stamps that old should be saved even if some call them "junk." I have some 100+ year old stamps that are common and damaged. I'm sure that same collector would be shocked I'm keeping them, but I've done my best to keep them from further damage.

Go ahead and post photos of them!
