Asking for opinions US stamps (warning: lots of pictures)

[arturohillo]

Hello everyone. I would like to ask if someone could give me a general idea of what they are worth these stamps (in case they are worth somehing). I inherited a stamp collection from my great grandfather. Almost all of them are Mexican (I'm from Mexico) and those are the ones that I have been studying and cataloging, but from the US and the rest of the world I'm still a newbie.

Hi arturohillo,

I see mostly US and only a few Mexican but depending what the condition of the Mint stamps are, especially the Airways will make them worthwhile collecting. Noted also some earlier Mexican and US which you should check out with the Scott catalogue - there may be some finds.

Replace those with the wavey killer cancel and you have a good starter collection.
Value depends on the ultimate quality and interest of another but I would not buy a new Porsche. Thanks for sharing.
Good luck
Erich

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure these we're all US stamps. I think the condition of most of them is new (they are in groups of four most of them). Did you identify some of them? My problem is that I only have the Mexican section of a Scott catalogue, so I haven't had the chance to look for these ones.
Excuse my ignorance but could you tell me what is "wavey killer cancel"?

Thanks again

Hi,

wavevy cancels - parallel lines like )low sinus waves or a flag blowing in the wind oe waves on the see without any Town or date (normally found on the left side of the wavey cance.

I have none to show as I discard them. On a complete envelope they are best kept as single stamps worthless in my opinion.
