Yes, a lot of stamps with damage. They are probably bargains but only a limited group would be interested. Seems like at $1.99 the Jamestown should have drawn a bid or two with what appears to be a mint 2c, but is it reperfed?
@fini32: The 2˘ Louisiana Purchase with the missing corner brings down the value of the set. Buyers who may already own the low values may appreciate a decent duplicate that can be traded or placed in a circuit book. A cheap stamp with a missing corner belongs in the circular file unless it is a plate variety or has a rare cancel. Also it is unlikely that the 5˘ Scott 330 is reperforated but some of the perforations appear to be shopworn.
Thanks for the advice everyone! Yeah, they aren't in great condition unfortunately. I made the mistake of buying a set of duplicates of which I was unaware of their condition, and am now trying to cut losses. I think the way forward from here if I want to sell them as sets would probably be to bunch them together in a large lot of commemoratives. Anyone else agree?
