I found an old stamp collector's book I had from about 60 or 70 years ago. It has stamps from various foreign countries mostly.
Is there a place I could go to for an honest opinion of what it might be worth?


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

Scott's stamp catalog is your guide.
Look them up online.
Another source would be a local stamp club.

I’ve got 4 big books of 1000s of stamps from the early 1900s that were given to me. I’ve always wondered where to find out their value. Last place I would have thought to check would have been here. I’ll have to see if I can find a local stamp club.

Most are worthless except for the postage value. Start using them on some letters!

I would think that foreign stamps from that long ago would have some value because some of those countries no longer exist.

Yugoslavia
Czechoslovakia
plus lots of countries in Africa.

Bison88 - I doubt many of them would work for postage in the US. Just saying……….

I do have stamps from some countries I've never heard of before that are listed in the book.
