Hello,
I don't think that there is anything of great value in here, but I was wondering what these stamps would be worth looking at the quantity.
As you can tell from the photos, there a several multiples of some of the stamps that are tucked in behind.
My pictures aren't the best, but I hope you can tell from them.
Thanks so much for your help!
Noah

Hi Noah and welcome, You have quite a variety of different stamps. Because of the variables when checking stamps like color,perforations,denominations,watermarks etc, it would be hard to place value on them without checking them for the above mentioned variables. You would need a set of stamp catalogs which contain this type of information. An older used set would be fine. You can get these type of catalogs on ebay fairly cheap. They would give you a general idea of what you have, and the worth. Hope this helps a little.. Gary

Stamps with higher values are usually worth more... such as your QE11 Hong Kong stamps. The $5 value might fetch UK £1 + in fine used condition on a good day so "more" is relative
I'd say what you have is more or less what might be considered a typical starter collection... interesting but not particularly valuable.
You have stamps for instance from Norway with two spellings of the country name... NORGE and NOREG ... one language but two spellings which is interesting but, again, not valuable.

As stated previously, you could research online or otherwise to gain some knowledge of your stamps.

Hey Noah,Its good since you can check them out. I got a set of 2008 for 27 dollars on ebay + shipping. It wasn't that much, now I can highlight and put post-it notes in them. Have fum.
