Im new here and I have no idea who to ask. I acquired a bunch of stamps through a garage sale about 30 years ago from an older woman. sense then I've lost a bunch but managed to hang on to these. any idea of there worth? and if there is no worth to them then what determines that?

These all appear to be common stamps. The other key determinant is condition - you'll see that many of these are damaged - torn corners, surface damage etc. Sorry!

The stamps need to be immediately removed from the 'photo' page they are mounted on, the adhesive will damage the stamps. For help with identifying the US stamp you can find a wealth of free information on Stamp Smarter

Example of damage from those "Magnetic Photo Albums" that use actually gum.

The stamps have value as learning and a fun hobby but in this case no real monetary value. Condition issues, catalogue value, supply & demand and quantity issued are factors that determine value.
