Dear all,

I have this Stamp collection for Great Britain, Aden and some other countries. I need some help to see if I can find any valuable stamps in this collection.
The reason im trying to find help through your forum is because im not located in Europe or Australia and I cant take my collection physically and offer it to a stamp dealer so he can have a deep look on it.

your help is highly appreciated thanks

eljados,

As I said before, please take the good stamps out of the albums and bin the rest. The toning is quite bad on many stamps. Save what you can.

I have to agree with LB1. I would also get rid of the album, as some of your album pages show signs of staining, most likely due to acidic paper. If so, this will invariably damage your stamps as well.

Took a very quick glance at these stamps and also some of the other ones you posted. A broad mixture of common stamps, spotted with a few stamps that catalog for a few bucks, possibly a ten dollar stamp hidden in the batch. Some of your earlier Lebanese overprints and airmails might catalog for a dollar or two, aided by the slight increase in catalog values for the older Lebanese issues in the past 5 years. However, those prices are for completely undamaged stamps. The general condition of the collection, I would consider to be damaged. You would unlikely get a decent offer for the collection, and I'm pretty certain that many full-time dealers would decline to even make an offer, for fear of offending you.

Off hand, glancing through your stamps, I don't see any $100+ stamps, nor do I see any obvious $10+ stamps.

Maybe someone else with better eyes and more experience can give you better news.
