Poconoboxs, welcome to the forum. Your pictures are too much out of focus to tell anything - is it possible for you to scan your three cards?

Some. Most likely the value will be in the postcards. Hopefully, they're view cards. Greeting cards depend on appeal.
There is collector interest in clear, readable postmarks. Generally stamps found on postcard are common, and or damaged.

@MEMBERS, I've been to many shop where they sell postcards, and have bought some very nice stamps that way. Many early Washington/Franklin coils, also many plate varieties.

Of course there are common stamps found on postcards, even a few damaged. But if you put the time into searching you can always find something well worth your time, I almost always did.

In answer to the OP's question... It is considered bad form to tell posters on forums that their stamps have zero value. Perhaps it is better to say - you can take your item to any stamp selling shop in the world [assuming you can find one these days] and they will not make a cash offer for your stamp(s).
