gold stamps

I have a collection (2 albums) of the gold stamps with envelopes. They are in new condition. Approx 100 plus of them. Any idea of their worth? They are of famous occasions, people, etc.

Are they the 22k stamps from Staffa?
Looks like they go for about $25.00 apiece.

Acompleted listings search on feebay shows them going for .50 - 1.00 for multiple stamps. These are for the gold replica stamps. Which ones do you have? Are they the ones with this book?

I value them at $0.25, especially if bought in bulk. If I get them as part of a regular stamp collection, I place no value on them (don't figure them in the offer at all). There are no "rare" ones and these are shunned for the most part by stamp collectors. They are factory-made collectibles like Franklin Mint stuff and Beanie Babies with little to no secondary market.

Your best bet is E-Bay or Craigslist to get the most exposure. I doubt a stamp dealer would be interested in them. As another note - the amount of gold in them is VERY small. They are made from really thin gold foil.
