Welcome to SCF, Christian.

Just glancing at the selection you have posted, they all look common, probably worth pennies each at best. Not sure about the violet color stamps in the lower right corner of the 2nd page. Not a good image. Maybe someone who is more familiar with GB can identify it.

Christian, the best thing is to take them to a stamp dealer and ask for his opinion, or your local stamp club. There doesn't look to be too much of value.

Nice stamps though. All together they'd probably sell on ebay for a few pounds, but I would rather keep them if it were me.

Second scan (the GB ones) third row, left, you have a 'seahorse' which are always nice to see if not exactly rare.

Same scan, bottom right is a Queen Victoria revenue stamp.

Another better one is the 11d stamp two rows above the revenue stamp. If that set (they're called Wildings) is ever found with one stamp missing, that will be the one. It's rarer than the others, although they are all common.

thank you all , I am aware that those first two successfully uploaded ones are not the rarest or rather common , I then failed massively to upload the ones I wanted , is there any chance I can someone , maybe you Ringo an email with nice big pictures ? I would love to have some insight , thank you all so much , christian

It would be better to post them up on the forum - different people have different areas of knowledge.

hello again , yes Ringo , that was why I signed up , I have so many , and I am unable to upload them , apparently according to the staff , its a glitch with firefox , god knows , I just can't work it out , I even tried photo bucket , ok , if its not ok then I won't do it , the 11 d you talk about is why again so important ? please

i have tried again , pictures taken to big , optimised with free image optimizer than , file size is to big please use file size optimiser , I am at the end of my witts , I am so sorry I am officially stupid , thanks anyway ringo

Just a thought, perhaps your images were scanned in large format that image resizer cannot handle.

Can you try scanning your articles using the *.jpeg format ?

Or you can email the images and I will upload them for you. I am sending you my email address if you want to do it this way.
Don

thank you I will do that tomorrow , great help ! much appreciated

hello don , ( while I am sending via email ) thanks again for your help and I hope this a. hasn't blown up your email account and b.it working from your end , I am very grateful , christian

Uploads for Christian - if anyone would like to see one of the stamps closer up, please let me know and I will post it.

Christian - you have a nice start on a general collection but as others have said it does not have much commercial value. The real value is that your family member spent their time assembling them. If pressed I would say it might be worth $50 - $75US.
Don

thank you so much for doing this don , very much appreciated !

That GB page with the Penny Reds at the top - what are the two larger stamps half way down? They look like revenue stamps - one tall green one and the larger brownish Queen Victoria?

ringo I am happy to send you close up at any time , all I need is an email address or don can help , but I feel a bit sheepish asking him over and over , christian , and by he way is there a possibility to bring this back up top now where all or most stamps are uploaded ?
