Some of the tools of the trade I put together from my uncle's collection

Are any of this listing have any worth? I’m fairly new to stamp collecting and I’m not sure if any of this are worth keeping for. What are your thoughts and opinions on these collectables?? And how much do they actually sold for now?? Are the prices they’re selling it for reasonable??

Alright, so I just stumble upon the 22k US stamp on Facebook marketplace and I pretty much wanted to get a hole of them BUT how worth are they?? Is it true that they’re worth $1-$2 per piece? If I buy a whole book but there are some missing stamps, how much you think they should actually price it? I would not want to buy it over priced if it’s for decorations that don’t worth much.

Hello! My dad just gave me 4 of these stamp collection books and I have no idea what they're worth or how to find that out! Here's some random pages from one of the books. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm really struggling right now financially, and my dad's hoping the books will help me

Back in 1973-1975, I guess, I picked up two booklets of 13 cent Liberty Bell stamps -- just the usual ones being sold at the time. When I got home, I realized that there was something weird / wrong -- the booklets claim to have 23 stamps in each, but in fact both have 24 -- three full sheets of eight stamps.

I knew (and know) rather little about stamps, other than "errors and weirdnesses can indicate value", so I put these away in a desk drawer until "later", which turned out to be today. "Oh yeah, those things."

Any thoughts about these? All the sheets are intact, of course; otherwise, they're in good but not pristine shape (see the pics). A bit of googling didn't reveal anything similar out there; might there be any value here? Thanks!

Picked up this lovely 1949 Royal Mail Canada Miniature Mail Bag from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
It still has its original red souvenir tag attached, which reads:
“To you I send this souvenir… Good health and luck to you.”
The tag credits Novelty Mfg. Co. Ltd., Montreal as the manufacturer.
I’m curious if anyone here has more information:
Were these sold only in Halifax or across Canada?
How common are they today?
Has anyone seen similar examples or old catalog listings?
Always fascinated by how these small souvenir items preserve a piece of postal history. Would love to learn more from fellow collectors!

Family member passed away a while ago, it was a hoarder situation so we're still working our way through the chaos. This is one of countless things that weren't looked after as they should have been.

Where do I start with organising and valuing a collection like this? Or would it be simpler to just sell as a job lot?

Hi! I have got many duplicates of this stamp set, so while supply lasts, I would like to offer to the community to get one set for free in exchange for sharing something interesting about them, or the country they are from!

I will also include a surprise block from another country. Just let me know your address in a private message and they will be on their way. I would be delighted if someone sent me stamps in return, but I do not expect anything.

Figured i'd share it here, rather than the 'philately' channel, since.. i wasnt sure if it'd be allowed on there (pretty strict subreddit haha)

Its obviously not the most picasso etc etc professional piece, but i had a lot of fun doing it. It took me a few hours to paint.. And i loved sorting out the stamps i used! Although.. some i'd loved to keep in my album instead, sigh..😭🤣

The first photo is made with a better camera, the other photo's are more raw/less defined. It does look better in person though.

And i also had not checked if any stamps i used were rare, misprinted, or of value.. so feel free to tell me i wasted a pretty rare stamp. Though i doubt it, hopefully.

I think it’s a Prince Albert but if anyone could help me with the value that would be greatly appreciated.

I have a bunch of these. I don't collect them, but they were in a box with a lot of such covers that I inherited

Are these worth anything?
