I Inherited Some Danzig Stamps New And Used

I would like to know how much each of these are worth. If anyone could help that would be awesome. Thank you!

Try and get a recent Scott catalog from your library and have some fun looking them up! Damaged stamps have no value.

You can also go to http://stampworld.com for the retail values of these stamps.

Just checked my 1990 & 2011 Michel German Specialised catalogues, & the price of Danzig generally has gone down. The key set, the 1920 "Grosser Innendienst" set of three overprints hasn't even kept up with inflation.

To your stamps. Anything damaged, missing corner, scuff, no matter how slight, makes the stamp valueless. Most of your stamps are catalogued 20-50 cents, which is more the price of a handling charge than it's true value (in this case, not much).

You might get a whole dollar for the two air stamps, upper left, 5Mk green & 10Mk blue.

No great rarities there and very little monetary value. The great majority of stamps from Danzig, like the vast majority of stamps from most countries, are worth very little (under $1) and all but a few dozen are valued at $5-$10 or less (usually a lot less). Still, Danzig is one of my most favorite areas to collect as I find its history fascinating. Born out of World War I and the Treaty of Versailles, it's where the first shots of WWII in Europe were fired, and its very existence as a free city was one of the reasons Hitler invaded Poland. In the modern area, as the (now) Polish city of Gdansk, it was where Communism first started to crack as a result of the Solidarity movement. It was definitely among the most important cities in all of Europe during the 20th century. Anyway, the stamps pictured are worth more as interesting pieces of another time and place, but money-wise, they might total up to be equivalent to the cost of a light lunch, at best.

There are many valuable varieties and plate flaws in Danzig stamps, especially in overprints. (I had a complete Danzig collection with hundreds of shades and varieties for many years — all sold now.)

I don't see anything particularly interesting in the scan above. However, to confirm that, one should investigate these stamps under magnification and, in some cases, under UV light, using Michel Specialized catalog for Germany and area. Scott wouldn't do.
