Need Help In Valuating These Stamps Please

Hello philatelic experts

I am a novice in stamp collecting, but have recently inherited a very large collection . I would like your help in seeing if any of these are valuable at all?

Much appreciated.

Many thanks!

Canada postage I believe

Austria..?

Stamps shown are from Barbuda, Canada and Austria. All (as well as the ones on the first post)seem to be of minimal value; except for, perhaps, the Barbuda "specimen" overprinted ones and (who knows?) postmarks on Victoria Canada stamps.

As Cursus said, the Barbuda specimens are more interesting. They are the kind of stamps sometimes given away in stamp magazines but they give only part set lower values. Finding a complete set is occasionally not easy so a set might be worth around 10 UK pounds. Individual stamps or part sets are of considerably lower value.

Just a reminder that the stamps might be of minimum value but there might also be value added in the postmarks.

Thanks all for your valuable feedback! Will do some further research on the postmarks as well..

Please show the Canada Queen Victoria (and any other) stamps with postmarks showing.

A full, readable, clear, with town name and date showing, is preferavle to cancel and postmark afficiandos.

The pricing is sometimes left up to ebay auctioning , but you could generally say that small towns are worth more than larger cities that have many postmarks made.

The condition of the stamp is also important of course.


The star with numeral postmark on the New South Wales stamp is also collectible.

Some collectors have calendars made of different dates, some collect only certian years or towns or regions. :ots of possibilities.
