Any Good Ones Here?(Lots Of Pics)

I bought this hole lot for $1. Anything of any value, even minor?

The Portugal issues with the knight depict King Diniz. The design is very common, which causes a lot of people to overlook all of them. There are a few values which actually catalogue pretty well when unused, and some of the used list above the catalogue minimum, too. Without a catalogue in hand, I can't say which ones, though I think the 90c might be one of them. (Probably not all the way to $1, but more than the minimum.)

You have a couple great socked-on-the-nose cancels, too, on the Portugal and Netherlands examples.

....and check to see if the ½p machin has one left phosphor band !

Not sure what you mean.......

Sorry, check out what the others say but I don't see any extraordinary value here. But, that being said, with just the number of stamps, discounting the couple of seriously damaged ones, you got you money's worth.

The Canada are all common low valued stamps.

I looked at my saved pics of errors (3 types) for the Christmas painting and your stamp has none of the errors, which would just bring it up to $2-$3 maybe if it did have one of those.

The Machin is the name for the type of bottom right Queen's profile, light bluish greenish stamp.

Londonbus means the phosphorescent tagging bars (need a UV black light to see them usually) on the edges of the stamp. These are used by sorting machines in the postal plants to check if your mail has stamps on and to flip the envelopes the correct way up so the stamps get canceled (hopefully).

If you could see any of these bars without a UV lamp (sometimes from some countries you can kind of see them) they are around 4mm (1/4") wide and look yellowish or yellowy (not proper philatelic colour terms!)

The Canada Christmas stamp has versions with and without bars.

The light blue 1/2p Machin stamp from Great Britain is very common, but examples with a single phosphor band at left are quite rare. They are only found in an early Wedgwood prestige booklet. The booklet has a current Scott catalogue value of $150, and almost all of that is just for that 1/2p stamp. Used stamps won't be worth that much but they're still pretty tough to find.

I've been somewhat passively gathering up GB prestige booklets, and a few months back I decided to try my luck with some cheap bids on ebay for that Wedgwood booklet. Lo and behold, for $22 I won a copy of the booklet that turned out to have a 1/2p stamp that was nicely centred with no perfs trimmed short. No scan had been provided of the stamp itself, just the cover was shown, so I expect that's why it went so cheaply.
