Stamp Collection Value ?

I did a search, & the most recent thread concerning stamp values was from 2013.

The prevailing theory of that thread seemed to be that any stamps made after 1932 were/are basically worthless.

Up until yesterday, I hadn’t looked at any of mine for 30 years. I also bought hunting stamps back in the 80’s

Here’s a couple scans.

Short & sweet, do any of these have any value ?

Thanks

Of course the unused stamps are worth their face value, so it's not totally worthless.

I had some stamp collection stuff from my parent's estate. I ended up using many of the stamps that were in sheets for regular mailing of my personal items. The balance of some sheets, in stamp books or mixed loose stamps I donated to local stamp collecting club and took a charity tax deduction.

So essentially the answer is your stamps are worth face value or less.
