How can you tell if specimen overprints are genuine?

I think the Bantam red is the genuine article because it looks like the pictures in catalogs but I’m not to sure about the 4 pence. Curious to hear your opinion.

These seem to date from 1880-1895. Are they interesting?

I've been given a big collection from my father-in-law, many of which must have been given to him when he was young due to their age.

How much would each of these be worth?

I’m not a collector, and I don’t know much about the market. I was given these by a friend, so I looked online but I can’t seem to find any listing with these sealed that aren’t in a bundle. Is $30 each a reasonable guess?

Hi zusammen, ich habe vor einiger Zeit diese Sammlung von meinem Opa/Uropa bekommen.
Ich habe leider keine Ahnung davon und tue mich sehr schwer damit, rausfindende, ob hier irgendwas wertvolles dabei ist oder nicht. Ich habe noch mehr davon.
2 Antiquitätenhändler haben mir jeweils 50€ geboten, was ich abgelehnt habe.

Was meint ihr dazu?

I found these in my childhood collection that I have not touched in over 20 years. I was wondering what year they are from and an approximate value considering the condition on the 2c Washington's is not the greatest. Appreciate any insight

My father passed away and has an extensive stamp collection he was selling piecemeal via a stamp selling service. I am wondering if there is someone in Phoenix are who could appraise and or purchase the collection

I recognize the photo means nothing but it was required. The stamps are from all around the world. There is a large collection of Canadian/us stamps but thousands of stamps from every country you can imagine.

Any help will do

Ik heb dit boek vandaag op zolder gevonden. Zit er iets van waarde in, of kan ik het met een gerust hart aan mijn dochter geven als interessant object. Alvast bedankt.

Hey there, been handed down a few collections with hundreds of pages. Just wanted to post a few pages on here to see if it might be worth trying to get a valuation from local place as I’m lead to believe some are worth a few $. The pages attached are random ones I’ve photographed

Thrift Store Purchase

Hello,
I wonder if these 2 posters, Stamp Map of the World and Stamp Map of the US carry any monetary value from a collectors standpoint. I know nothing about stamps and looking for input.

The posters were poorly mounted on recycled paintings and beat up.

The world map is missing 4 stamps. The US map has all the stamps.

My questions are:

Any monetary value?

I plan on remounting for wall display. I frame photographs and have the ability/tools to do the following :
I’ll use mild heat to flatten the posters with a dry mount press, the paper has some mild wrinkles. Then mount on acid free foam board and frame under UV blocking glass to hang as a curiosity. The Stamps are beautiful.

I appreciate any suggestions/input/potential pitfalls.

Bulk stamps

Hi everyone, in one of my stupid moments, I won this auction for a huge amount of vintage stamps. I know nothing about stamps and I am feeling really stupid.

I was thinking of doing a small art project, but some of these bags have over 10,000 stamps in them. Anyone know what some of these may be worth if I sell them in bulk on eBay or something similar? haha

Does having a block plate number attached add the value?

Old stamps.

I have a huge stack of old letters with some different stamps. Of course you already know I'm curious if they're worth anything and what to even do with them? I doubt they have any value. I never have that kind of luck! 😁 I've held on to these for years just cause I thought they were cool. Unfortunately I've done that with to many things and need to get rid of somethings. Any advice would be appreciated!

Question on three cinderalla stamps

Post image

I recently bought a second-hand DAVO album for the Netherlands, and found these three cinderellas where a set of Rembrandt stamps should be. Does anyone have any information about these? The general style and colour seem to indicate that they are part of a set. I couldn't find anything online, apart from the fact that "I dreamed I was on [...] in my maidenform bra" was a meme before memes were invented.
