I was placing a snipe bid the other day and put the wrong lot number down. Now I own some stamps that I don't know anything about. Can anyone help with identification and maybe a CV value I ended up paying $25 for them and hopefully wasn't taken to the cleaners

It is always awkward when commenting when people have spent
their money.
My take: Possibly $10 over the top
I have been collecting Russia for 10 years and there are some in that lot
I don't have, you may have a rarity amongst them,
some nice postmarks and a little duplication.

You made the mistake, so you definitely havn't been
"taken to the cleaners"
that's an experience issue :)

(I once bid on some "cinderellas" that were cut outs from a magazine)

Just one thing, if you entertain collecting Russia now, get a very large album :)
