Nothing of any real value I am sorry to report and most have serious condition issues.

Counting from the top photo:

Damaged, missing piece, 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 (perfs cut off by scissors), 14
Damaged, creases, scuffs, 2, 7, 9, 12

low value due to centering and or heavy cancel, 4, 5

Seems sound but very little value (pennies) as such, 11, 15, 16, 17

#18 appears unused value of a few dollars.

Interesting in spite of issues: 10, has white round disk just left of mouth. It appears foreign material was attached prior to printing and fell away after; value a few dollars as such.

The damaged would be considered space fillers hold a place until a better copy is obtained.

Except for one or two stamps, this is NOT paper to be sent to the recycling bin. If you have no need for these nor someone to pass them too, I suggest a donation here:

Stamps for the Wounded
P.O. Box 297
Dunn Loring, VA 22027-0297

Stamps for the Wounded
c/o John Hotchner
P.O. Box 1125
Falls Church, VA 22041-0125

Please use the Dunn Loring address unless:

You would like to receive an acknowledgment letter that includes your list of donated items by reference.
You need to receive the acknowledgement card/letter sooner.



It is a 501(c)(3) organization started in 1942 helping disabled veterans through stamp collecting and stamp art activities.

Welcome to the forum and the advice given is really spot on. If you enjoy the stamps you may decide to continue on for your enjoyment, otherwise the charity might be the way to go.

Parcelpostguy thank you for your detailed response.

I am not going to throw it away.I have few books and I thought that maybe on some of the stamps I can earn but if not I am still okay. I like old things and fact that in times without internet my grandfather exchange letters with other stamps enthusiasts is "cool" for me so even it it has no value I will keep it.
