Hi everyone

Would any of these have any value worth selling? I know eBay is not a good gauge to value stamps so I thought I'd ask you guys for a sensible answer. Any help would be appreciated!

These are a lot of stamps ,but unfortunately as they are in used condition they will not have a very high price. You could see at stampworld, there are many images and prices for used and mint stamps.

They are all very, very common stamps with very little monetary value. If yo put them on eBay with a starting bid of 99 cents, you may get one buyer, but that is about it.

Also, some are technically from the Philippines, I guess you would say under U.S. administration.

Do they have value? Yes

Will the value exceed the monetized expenses involved in selling? Very unlikely unless done at a local stamp club.

If you value your time, that needs to be included in the "monetized expenses" referenced above.

Nice start to a Philippines collection. You'll want to get a perforation gauge and watermark fluid to identify some of those issues in some cases.

You can also exchange some of the stamps with other collectors. This could also be very useful solution.

Bicken do you have any interest in collecting? I think everyone in the forum would enjoy mentoring you.
