Hi everyone...I am new and I am having trouble figuring out if these are invaluable or valuable...My gut is that they are invaluable but seriously have no idea how to compare the 2.
Can someone help me with this? Thank you

Nothing stops sellers from wishful thinking. Be aware that asking price is not the same as the price at which items sell. Even if full catalog value is 25 cents.

But behold, the prices are dropping. This one below, Scott US C-39, can be had for only $100 (or best offer) right now on ebay:

To put it into a bit of perspective, of this stamp there were 5,070,095,200 issued. So simply calling it "very common" might not cut it.
