Sorry accidentally pushed the button

Not the best pics but hope enough for now.

The front will come tomorrow, because my ipad only take this pic. Try 20 times but i'm going to bed now.

Front is not with inverted center or something, as far as I can see

To be continued

All four appear to be Scott 35 7k Russia stamps. On the back the paper will have lines running across. This is referred to as horizontal laid paper. There are variations on these that would be noticed by closer inspection. I don't see any variations by the photo you provided. These stamps have a book value of 45 cents each but are plentiful and would actually sell for about 10-25 cents.

Hello Bill

Thank you could not resist to look if I already recieved an anwser. Thank you for that. Just for my right understanding. This is a very common stamp. Will say that the picture is the back of the stamp, not the front. But as I understand your answer correct, you know that this is the back. The front will just not apear on the web site for some reason.

But thanks again for respond

If I'm reading Lyapin right, there is a variety with printing on gum that catalogues about half of the background-inverted and background-omitted varieties.

Are the cancels showing through to the back?

Hello Cid

Thank you for reply. When I hold them in to light I can see the cancel through the back. When it is on a table I don't see the cancel.

Ps I see that my background pics are turned into the front. There is something going wrong, with it. Hope my answer is good enough for you to tell me it's rubish or not.

There are other areas of collecting for these type of stamps. Although the postmarks are faint, a postmark from a small town can increase the value of a stamp. I don't know enough about Russian stamps to help you there. I just don't consider them to be rubbish. They just aren't valuable.

Okay, that makes sense...the cancels didn't look reversed (though I'm no expert with Cyrillic letters).

Keep trying to post up pictures of the backs so that we can throw out some ideas.

And I agree, the stamps are not rubbish. I bought a Russian cancel collection that might not see much daylight until retirement, but I know that there is another universe of information to learn, that can take up as much or as little time as I want to devote to it.
