Value of Stamps?

Rey--I don't specialize in U.S. revenues, so I'll leave that
question to others. But almost all U.S. stamps issued since 1934
(or thereabouts) were printed in such large quantities that supply
far exceeds demand. With rare exceptions--perhaps a few dozen--
they are worth no more than face value, even as plate blocks,
full sheets, etc.

Thank you very much for your information, Stan.
I'm still hoping other posters will reply.
Hello
You are hoping for other answers. I expect that means more positive
answers.
To the contrary, I would qualify Stan's answer by saying that the stamps
are worth face value only to the ultimate user who will put them on his
outgoing mail. If you have any quantity of stamps it will take a long
time before you use them all. If you try and sell them either to a
wholesaler or to a large user, you will find that it is difficult to get
more than 50 - 60% of face value depending on the face value of each
stamp. You won't get 50% for 4¢ stamps, but you might get a bit over
50% for 40¢ stamps.
