Hello everyone!
I am all new to this, so I am not even sure if I stumbled upon the right place, but here we go:
My mother has had this collection all her life(passed down from her Grandmother), but has never been very interested in them, so she decided to pass them down upon me to sell them.
The story is nothing special and all too cliche, but I hope else can be said for the stamps themselves. Some of them intrigued even me...

Disclaimer: The colors are slightly off for some shiny stamps, but be sure to ask for a closer, better look if you spot something interesting and I will find a way to get a clear, color perfect picture.

Take a look inside.

The thing is that we don't have a scanner and it would cost a fortune to scan all 67 pages. I don't want to do that until I know that there is anything of any value in the collection.
A rough estimate of value would be great, is this possible with slightly off colors?

Heiwan,
Welcome.
The links in your first post do not work, so no one can see your images. Instead, try using the uploading tool and directly upload some of the images to this forum's server. Please also note that no one is allowed to sell stamps on the forum until they have 50 posts. But you can certainly upload images and ask for opinion as to value and best ways to dispose a collection.

Hello, Don.
I will try to upload here directly, if the links really fail to work.
The problem is that the resolution will literally be reduced 36 times... all detail goes to waste.
Links(hope they work):

Hi Heiwan,
Those links work, I am sure other folks will offer input as to the scope of your collection.

Hi Heiwan,

This is all common material; it will be difficult to sell at any price.

Here in Canada, one can buy 500 USSR stamps for $25 (about 12 lat). That's from a dealer; you could probably find a better deal than that on ebay.

You might be further ahead finding a young person who collects, or donating them to a stamp club.

That's assuming you aren't interested in collecting yourself! I do collect USSR, and find even common material like this fascinating.

Good luck!
