The small Penny Reds ..... probably not, unless there's some anomoly, as there are still thousands of them in the hands of collectors. The purple inland revenue one and the jubilee one maybe worth a small amount as there may not be so many about..... you're best taking them to a specialist.

One thing I know is that like any other collectible, it's all about rarity and condition. That jubilee stamp is in great shape!

Damn, i got loadsa them ;D

Yeh i agree with you RottyDaddy, to be honest the other dont look so battered up in real life, its just they've been blown up  to like 100 times the size so you notice all the little inperfections...

I may just keep them for 50 years and then go see what there worth ;D
