What you have are some very common stamps with little value. Maybe you should consider getting back into collecting. Collecting can become addictive, fun, and educational.

Hi Stamp Pig,

To find the value, you will fist have to identify them. This can be done by looking them up in a stamp catalog. For the USSA (Used to be USA) (A little joke there), the Scott catalog is probably the most popular. You may be able to find a Scott catalog in your local library. The Scot catalog will give you the Scott number assigned to the stamp and a value. An alternative is to go to the Mystic Stamps website and locate the stamps there. It will give you the Scott number also, and a retail price (usually higher than the Scott catalog value. Once you have the Scott number, you can go to e-bay and see what the stamp is actually selling for in auctions. All this can be quite time intensive if you have a lot of stamps to look up.

Kind Regards,
Dave N.

Nice to see your first post stamp pig. Welcome! KGV

At least your stamping stuff still looks in good condition!

The third image looks to have a little foxing or rust!

I agree with sfgoda! Collecting is the go!

Hello stamp pig. Welcome. You will find hours of enjoyment in collecting stamps. The value is really of secondary importance, although it is nice to have a stamp which is more than minimal value. Get back into the hobby--don't think you will be disappointed.

You have some cool looking stuff here to start back into collecting. (Don't be surprised if it has not gained much in value from when you started collecting). If you want to continue growing your collection, try looking around at some of the things people here are collecting and ask a few questions. Good luck!
