Hi guys, how are you? I inherited a stamp collection from my Brazilian grandfather. There are stamps from all over the world, but I don't know anything about this world. Maybe you might find something interesting

You have an accumulation of common stamps with a lot of duplication. I don't see any real dollar value. One item that MIGHT be a bit interesting to the right person is the Brazilian souvenir sheet from 1943 with what appears to be exhibition cancels.

This collection looks like what some of us started with. Probably he was involved with or knew someone from a mailroom that was able to get him some envelopes / stamps from around the world. Maybe he bought a few stamp starter sets. In any case, value is very minimal, but it was from your Grandfather, so someone in your family may also enjoy this.

No monetary value. Fun hobby. Keepsake or donate. Cheers.

This collection has little financial value as has been pointed out by others. The true value is in the pleasure your grandfather derived from collecting these stamps and his appreciation of their artwork, historical connections, etc that can be derived from them. We pursue our hobbies because they bring us personal satisfaction. Not necessarily because they may someday make us rich. You could spend some time looking closely at these stamps and may find some interesting things. Otherwise, save them as a reminder of your Grandfather or pass them on to someone, hopefully another family member, who might enjoy and appreciate them. Good luck!

UK (Great Britain), Netherlands, Spain, and Ireland do not include any stamps that would make me look for an interesting variety. Having said that, you either have a faded Mezquita (Córdoba) 1 pta stamp, or you have a colour variation: second of the pictures with Spanish stamps, second row from the bottom, stamps 2 and 5. It looks like a colour variation. Nice, but still it will not be a valuable stamp.
