Hi there, I recently inherited a stamp collection and I have taken about two weeks to learn more about it. I came across this and I honestly think it's a 100% match? You can also see the word "Karl" and the watermarks are the same as description pictures.
Please see pictures and if this is a match, what's the value of it?
I'm not clear what you are matching. The pictures show part of the DDR 5-year plan. It's a complicated issue but the details are in the watermarks. Your copies appear to be cancelled to order (CTO) issues and have little market value. It's a fun set to collect though!
Do a search in this forum for 5-year plan or DDR and you will find a number of threads that you might find interesting.
Experienced stamps need a home too. I'd rather have an example that is imperfect than no example. I collect for enjoyment, not investment. APS Member #223433 Postmark Collectors Club Member #6333 Meter Stamp Society Member #1409
As Dan noted, there have been a number of good articles written on this topic. One that I have found to be helpful appeared on the World Stamps Project website.
Its entitled "Varieties and types of postage stamps of the German Democratic Republic: the Five Year plan (1953/59)".
Many (most?) of the issues can be obtained at a modest cost. Makes for an interesting collecting focus area.
