<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonSellos, post: 47909, member: 1797&quot;]These are contemporary U.S. commemorative stamps.&nbsp; All of them can be sold, but not for much over face value.&nbsp; They are all readily available for sale on eBay and my suggestion would be to search eBay for corresponding items and see what your selling competition is.&nbsp; As an example, type Celebrate the Century into eBay&#039;s stamp category search box.&nbsp; I don&#039;t collect U.S. stamps, but my sense is the planet sheets might be your best sellers.&nbsp; Again, type the titles of the sheets into eBay&#039;s search.&nbsp; You could also try selling the lot as discount postage, but discounts from face value usually exceed 20% or more.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Not good news, I&#039;m sure, but there are just a lot of stamps like these for sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding Molokai&#039;s reference to the $5 Columbian, it is to the highest face value of the set of stamps issued in 1893 to commemorate the Columbian Exposition held in Chicago the same year.&nbsp; A mint $5 Columbian will sell for several thousand dollars depending upon its condition.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The sheets reproducing the 1898 Trans-Mississippi Exposition issue might also sell with a small profit.&nbsp; Check the eBay prices on those for sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
