Hi. I am new and I believe I will always consider myself "new." I would like to properly identify the worth of even one stamp in my dad's collection...TWO if I am so blessed...just so that when I do go to a dealer, I can use the samples as a test of the appraiser's "chops"

It seems I can't be SURE of anything. Thanks for having me

Did you mean every instead of even?

Are just fishing for a quote? Dealers are not going to spend a lot of time going through most general collections. They will make some assumptions on condition, appearance, what stamps they see in general, etc. and make judgments. If it is not organized in any manner they will offer less.
