Hello, stamp community! I would like to know if these stamps are containing any value. I've searched for a while, and most of them I just didn't find anywhere. Thank you.

All look to be fairly common stamps. Have you tried http://stampworld.com ?

Actually found some really good info in stampworld. Found out that some of these stamps aren't that cheap, but can you tell me, please, what condition are considered bottom stamps (2x green and 1x black) in the first picture? Thank you.

Animalv112, they look OK, but the picture is not very good. A scan would be better and taken on a black background. That way one can tell what the perforations look like.
And when I said they seem fairly common I did not mean to belittle your collection. There were just too many to make a better judgement.
And by the way, stampworld is a retail site. Prices listed is what is asked for the stamps.

For the 3 ruble stamp, its upper right corner is rounded off and so is considered faulty, reducing its value quite a bit -- collectors are picky. You can still collect it. If you mean the 10 kopeck stamp above it, that's not a postage stamp but a fiscal/revenue one, and very faulty.

The 1 ruble green stamps look just fine from what can be seen. Be warned than tiny tears, stains and paper thins on the back also reduce stamp value a fair amount.

Thank you. Very useful info. Gonna do the scam some day.

And also. What about this transperent purple line on the mark. Is it ink from the post or anything like it? Does it reduce the value of the stamp?

Three of your stamps (row 3, stamps 1 and 2 and row 5 stamp 4 (torn bottom corner)) are tax duty stamps. Issued by the Russian Empire between 1912 and 1917.
