Welcome Merc. The stamps are worth pennies each at most. Very common. this website might help you with individual stamp valuations: http://www.stampworld.com/en/maps/Europe/

Stampworld shows full dealer retail prices, not really what the stamps are worth. You can use StampWorld to look up catalog numbers and then use ebay "sold" search to find what stamp might actually bring in an open market.

Thanks everyone for answers. I have a lot of stamps, but I don't know how many total stamps are in the collection. I get this albums from someone, but in our country there's not many philatelists.

Welcome to the boards Matic.

Those last stamps you pictured are from Germany's inflationary period. That's why the numbers are so big on them. I was just reading about them online. I'm trying to find out what are the biggest numbers on the face of stamps are.

I'm curious, does the regular mail you get in Slovenia have postage stamps on them? In the USA not much mail actually has postage stamps on them anymore.

50 billion marks, though IIRC the last week or so of the inflation period those were revalued to four times the face.

Welcome to the forum Matic!

The first group of stamps are US definitives.

The second and third groups are from the German Democratic Republic (DDR). The second group stamps are from the "Five Year Plan" series. Yours are all CTO's (cancelled to order).The third group stamps are Officials, all CTO's except for the 20pf second from the left.

As has been mentioned previously the last group of stamps are German inflationary period stamps.

All are interesting but do not have a large market value.

Experienced stamps need a home too. I'd rather have an example that is imperfect than no example.
I collect for enjoyment, not investment.
