I recently came across a bunch of Christmas Seals complete from 1932 through 1967 that are mint. I don't collect them and am thinking of selling them. Is there a value? Here is a sampling of what I have. Thanks.

Value depends on age and country - and yes there are people who collect them. Did you try doing a search on ebay?

Very collectable but of little monetary value.

I'm one of many here who collect these. True, of little value, but interesting in their diversity and history. Also always great to find them on covers.
The Unitrade catalogue lists Canadian Christmas seals while the Scott's Specialized Catalogue will show the US versions.
For many years, both countries used similar designs.

Probably of little value. I collect US Christmas seals. In the early years, there a few varieties which have substantial catalog value. Some of these are listed in the Scott U.S. Specialized catalog.

I have a ton of these. They are priced in the scott specialty catalog usa, might be a copy at your local library.

I collected full sheets and made singles display for my stamp wall from 1909 to 1960. I also have some 1970s-1990s

I have some on cards 1909,10,11,12 seal tied to by postmark.

If you find wx11 type 1 it has catalog value $1400.00
wx2 type II is catalog value $6400.00

I notice some of the newer as you have they value in blocks of four some $0.50 or so. Your 1966 block of 8 $0.65 scott 2013 edition.

Your 1932 single .20 to .50cents.
Your 1940 single .25cents.
Your 1950 single .25cents.
Your 1960 single .35cents.

I like to browse ebay they have a lot of countrys that have issued xmas seals and I like the colors, and pictures and intend to collect some of those.

There is a xmas seal APS society, I emailed the founders son once, very cool, he listed some prices.

I have not given a lot of detail here not at my finger tips at the moment but easy to find info on your xmas seals and yes they have value and a lot of people collect them.

I have a collection of the older, nicer Seals. I buy older sheets of them and actually use some of them on current holiday cards, it gives them a nostalgic feeling.

I'm late to this discussion, but I refer quite often to http://www.christmasseals.net/ for information, market pricing and tidbits to round out my ever-growing knowledge of Christmas Seals. I collect Canadian seals exclusively, particularly when tied to a cover and used in the year of issue.
