I took a quick look in Scott and I think it shows the first one (the 1d green, imperf) is listed at $29 used and $190 mint.
I would guess the others are also worth looking into.
If I get time, I will try to give you a better idea of value; but I have to go out soon, and my Scott Catalogue is on a CD and it takes forever to look up stamps because I have to magnify and reduce image sizes so much.
Bottom line: don`t throw them out today.

The second and 5th ones are fairly common (at least here in Australia). It is an interesting cancel on the second stamp.

<All> stamps are worth something,
but value goes beyond the dollar note.
To a purist your stamps have little interest due to
the sellotape hinging.
Others like myself, may need them to have an example of
stamps as "space fillers"

The first one I don't have, so that has interest
the second has the large "R" registration, that has interest
the third has a duplex barred number, that's of interest
the fourth I don't have so there's interest
the fifth I have about 420,000 so little interest apart from
studying the 1d value tablet for variety.

thanks all, I am sure I will have tons of pictures for you all to look at. right now I am going to try and remove everything I think can be saved (for USA) and put them aside..
The rest of the world, I think I will scan them and let you folks have at them... maybe set up some folders to put all the pages in that people want..

okay these are the first two stamps in album 1


the second one is a 26A - type IV in decent shape.. the Ben franklin has tape on the back, but they left the paper on it and never soaked it off the envelope. I can save this one easy..
The WW stuff is like this.. all the beginning pages have very early stamps for whatever country it is..

If you are specialized in a particular country, let me know, and perhaps I can work out a deal to send certain countries to certain people have them work on them, save what they can and split the stamps up...
not sure, but I am sure I can work something out... there is just too much here for me to handle... it would take me years to go through it all.

the first is either a 64 or 65... I am gonna have to get it expertized to tell I think.

Reverting to the Victoria for a moment,

Gibbons lists the 1d green as existing printed recess (intaglio) at £28 used and typo (letterpress) at £18 (and printed both sides at £1700. Worth flipping it over - you never do know )

The 2d lilac (and various other shades) is a minimum catalogue value item ... unless it has the watermark sideways, in which case it's £85

The 6d grey ranges between £7 and £10, depending on watermark and perf gauge. The barred numeral cancel 73 seems to be of Sandridge, these days known as Port Melbourne (and despite appearances, quite a desirable address!)

The last 3d blue is probably £7, if it has a watermark of the words THREE PENCE (there is also a watermark error TRREE for THREE, £550), or unpriced if it has no watermark.

Of course, all these prices would be affected by condition.
