So far a nice sampling of world-wide stamps. Keep in mind that stamps with parts missing, tears, creases, folds etc. are not considered collectible unless they are particularly rare stamps.
All the stamps shown are common. As you start out in the hobby, you should not worry or become consumed with "value". Most stamps are not valuable, no matter how old they are.
As I have explained in a previous post I have never been a stamp collector. My collection interest lies in antique documents. I a box of documents I purchased some time ago at an estate sale, I found zip lock bag after zip lock bag of world stamps. I know nothing about them but I guess thanks to them I now collect stamps...lol. I have been taking photos of the stamps and putting them in my collection gallery on pbase.com. I have no idea if I have them identified correctly or if I have anything of value. I am still uploading photos but any information would be a great help.
