They are probably reprints. Or forgeries.

yeah, I looked at the forgeries and from what I could tell the forgeries are either imperfs or the A along the top doesnt have a cross in it, and mine are perforated and my A does have the cross....but I couldnt tell the difference between the reprints and originals. either way, how do I figure out their worth and I have ruled out forgery, but not reprint...so any ideas they?

DiscoGirl, I think the stamps are genuine.

The are mounted in an approval book from the Zenith Stamp Company.

There is interesting information on that company here:

Have you got the £5 stamp, discosgirl? Should be a dull medium dark green.

Those are reprints on that white of paper , can you check the perforations and see if it is 12 1/2 .The value is minimal.
