The problem is that, individually, these stamps are basically valueless. You might get some interest for a block, at a lowish price - say, €4.99. But the block's date isn't going to push the price any higher.

I'm browsing through Scott 2009 vol.5 now and it indeed displays this stamp #199 at $0.20 but this time I can't find the expensive original with overprint...

it states Nos. 192-211 exist imperf. Value $1,000.

What does this mean?

That the stamps don't have perforations, unlike yours.

Alright, so in Scott 2009 Vol.4 Mariana Islands Sc #2 the image of the stamp is nearly invisible while the one we see on ebay and stampworld has a clear brown image, why is that? I wouldn't have recognised it looking through the catalogue!

Sorry for the difficult questions...

Here's a picture from scott:

Scott dimmed the stamp color to highlight the overprint.

I checked my Spanish catalog. I'm sorry but their value is very low. You might get a beer for it.

I would keep it as family memories.
