Greetings, New to this forum, just located an old collection that my grandmother helped me with back the 70s and 80s and I kind of lost interest but she kept my books and her books with stamps back to the early 1900s, I inherited the collections that is vast with 80% used stamps and about 20% new stamps some still in sheets.

 

I am having trouble finding someone local to help me assess the value of this collection and was hoping to get some help here to work through this. As I stated it is vast, about 3 books worth of stamp that have been hinged and about 10 envelopes of used and new stamps never hinged mix of new and used or cancelled stamps and 1 large folder full of new sheets of stamps. 

 I have attached some images here to give an idea of the collection.

Please let me know what you think and if anyone can tell me best resource to get value assessment for this collection.

I can post or send more images if someone would be willing to assist me in this project.

Nice gathering of stamps you have there.  However, i do not see any of great value, though what you have shown is a good dive into the deep end of a fine start up collection.

Hope your inspired to dive back into the hobby – its quite fulfilling.

@jblaha Thanks for the reply, the issue is I really dont know what is of value, I have taken some pictures and did the ebay search with the images, and some come up with such variable pricing, as little as 1.00 and as much as 1000.00, what is a reputable way to get good feedback or value. The images is very small group, I would roughly say well over 1500 stamps maybe more than 2000, I just have not been able to work through them all. I appreciate your feedback.
