Here's the franklins that I found in them. Any help on any that might be worth looking into, if any, would be much appreciated. I remember reading something about the colored line separating two stamps but can't remember where I read it and if it was common or not. But there's two that have that in these, as well as one that came from a vending machine/meter? I think.

Welcome.
Your stamps were the workhorses of the era with literally hundreds of millions produced over many years. Due to the long production run, there were a number of running changes made to the stamps over time and these are now assigned different catalog numbers. The overwhelming majority of stamp with this design are worth only pennies; but collector sometimes enjoy hunting for the less common varieties. You can learn more about your stamps here

You can read about the 'lines' on some stamps here

Of the stamps you show, this pair (called a 'line pair') may have a bit of value, deserves a closer look and a definitive ID (check perforation) .
