Couple hundred perhaps.

You've been asking for lots of evaluations - you should know by now that to evaluate anything properly, you need to post good scans of front & back of stamps. Cellphone pix of stamps in your hand are not useful...

Why do your stamp images have a digital mark for avito.ma?

When you scan the fronts and backs, people will be able to give you an idea.

" inherited from my uncle" sounds different than "bought them from avito" no?

Buy retail sell wholesale is the usual route. So they are worth about 1/2 of your purchase price if you bought the stamps. If inherited you have a 100% profit. Rare and stamps should rarely be used together.

Those are not rare. 5c Lincoln is a #98 catalogs for $250 in very fine used condition. 7c Stanton could be one of about 4 possible stamps catalogs from $900 to $6500 in very fine original gum condition. 10c Washington could be about 5 different stamp cataloging from $55 to $2100 in very fine used condition. 24c pictoral is probably a #120 which catalogs for $600 in very fine used condition. 1c Franklin could be one of about 5 different stamps ranging in catalog value from $6 to $375 in used very fine condition. The stamps here (if they were very fine) catalog between $1800 and $10,000. These stamps are not in great condition (the 7c stanton looks the best from here), so I'd chop the retail price in half: $900 to $5,000. If you have these stamps and want to sell them AND they don't have hidden faults (they probably do), you might be able to get $450 to $2500 for them - the higher number is mostly dependent on the identity of the Stanton on Washington stamps. And if there are faults we can't easily see here, then the number will be lower. How much did you pay for them? Or did you just take images from the avito site to pose a stamp trivia question here?

Yeah, you say you inherited these from your uncle, and then you say you bought them. Which is it?

Some stamps seem to have some degree of foxing on them.
