Grandmothers collection, I'm completely lost how to value these stamps.
I have thousands of mint sheets, plate sheets and thousands upon thousands of stamps from around the world, I have post cards with Zeppelins, Hitler stamps. I just need some pointers. I live in Maui and there are no experts here.

Also, are there any early Hawaii stamps? On cover would be very interesting. Scan some?

Yes, post some pictures. Hitler stamps usually aren't worth much, by the way, although full sheets of them would carry a premium if they are included in any of the sheets you have. If your sheets are US Mint Postage after about 1935, most of them are only going to be worth face value at best, and more likely 60-70% of face. If you post pictures of a somewhat representative sample of what you've got, you'll get some good feedback.

The LZ-127 Zeppelin flight/s has flown thousands of philatelic items. They are very collectible and are always in demand. More info about the LZ-127;

The Liechtenstein air stamps - assuming they're mint (i.e. with gum, lightly hinged to the page) catalogue at around £200, which probably equates to a street value of up to £50.

watch for the 'flying goose' flaw in these Hawaii stamps--worth $400.00 cat vs. 1.00. FYI
Whish I had one, but I don't--good luck!

Clarification, the 15¢ is not catalog $200. Scott catalog states values are for stamps in VF condition which this one is not. Most Scott 77's have atrocious centering. U.S. stamps shown above are all very common and with that being said they are certainly worthy of keeping.
