I only collect Egyptian airmail stamps, and the airmail stamps in your purchase look fine to me. The whole page looks good.

Are there any of these stamps you are concerned about?

nothing I'm concerned about, just wondering if any of these were "off the beaten path" so to speak.

The first row has stamps from the early 1867-1875 series. Here you need to pay particular attention to the perforation count, the cleanliness of the perforation, the color and the printing method (typo, litho). Check the catalog for the various types.
It is a precision job to id the stamps, and unfortunately it cannot be done from a scan.
While most of the Sphinx and pyramid stamps are not expensive, there are a few that seem rarer and much more costly.
Getting all the variations collected is a good challenge, and can be fun, and frustrating at the same time. I will scan some pages from my collection below.
Good luck.

I collect the Pyramids in particular, and you've got a nice lot there!
Something I would buy here on SoR
