This is the first place I'm looking for advice. Thought it'd be better to talk to other people about this instead of just reading and reading articles online trying to figure things out on my own. I've got tons on loose stamps and NO idea where to start. I'm looking to find out if they have any value. Any advice on where to start?!?! Thanks!!!

Pics are pretty much a must. A few that offer an overview is a good place to start. I am guessing that if they are loose they are of minimum dollar value but one never knows.

Welcome.
Agreed with rogdcam, posting a few representative images of the collection will help folks here better understand the scope of what you have.

Daisy,

Normally, I would suggest getting the copies of Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue (6 volumes) from your local library, but your library may be closed due to CV closures.

Another option is this website https://www.stampworld.com/en/maps/Europe/?. The prices there are inflated, so assume a 5th the value for Unused/Mint stamps and 10th of the value for used, and lot less if you are planning on selling it in bulk (this is how most non-collectors sell).

Stamps you are showing are from USSR, year 1971, and are of minimal value.
