Help With Stamp Collection.

I found a stamp album in my attic, and there are some older stamps in it. I was wondering if some of you might be able to help me identify if any of these could have any significant value. I'll post some pics below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

It appears you have some very common stamps.
#1 - #300 about 20 cents
#2 - #721 ? about 15 cents ( there are a few versions)
#3 - Green Franklin Too many versions ranging in price from a few cents to more expensive pricing.
#4 - #948a about 75cents
#5 & #6 Green Franklin same as above
#6 #570 about 25 cents
#7 Green Franklin same as above

Now for my follow up the Green Franklins are broken down by a few methods. You might find this site helpful instead of me trying to explain all the details for you.

Just explore the above site and if you get stuck or have amy questions let me know.

Hi and welcome VintageSouth,

Any Back of Book (Like Air Mail and postage due, etc) stamps in your find?

Oldtriguy1960 There is a 10c Air Mail, and a 10c Postage Due stamp there as well.

Hi Vintagesouth,

I can't tell which stamps you have by your description alone as there are several different stamps they could be. There were several USA Airmail stamps for 10c. Same with the postage due.

Are you planning on keeping the collection? Here's a way you can get an very general idea of which stamps you have and their realative value (is it a common stamp or one worth a few bucks, or one worth even more). Try the Mystic Stamp company website. They have an online catalog that shows most of the USA stamps, gives their Scott Catalog # and gives prices for mint (unused) and used stamps. Mystic is generally higher priced, but you can still get an idea of relative value and help with identifying which stamps you have.

Hope this is helpful.
