The Zeps have some value, the others are little to no real value. You were able to find the Scott number. Use it to check a ballpark on eBay.

The others are little to no value? How do you figure?

Mike:
Welcome to Treasure Net !!

The "Official Blackbook Price Guide to US Postage Stamps --2013 Edition--reflects the following (retail estimated) values for used Zeps numbered C-13 through C-15: $236, $470 and $735.
For the "113" = $468 (mint-unused). And for the "205"= $355 (unused mint condition).
Notwithstanding these values, my impression of stamp collecting today is it's a hobby with an ever decreasing interest. With that in mind, you may wish to consider selling the collection in a timely manner. Check Ebay for comparable, and current, sales data.

Mike,

Welcome aboard....I dabbled in stamp collecting on and off for about 30 years now.

And as Don said for the most part the market is quite soft.....but that said it's similar to many other collectibles....when the economy is soft.

Also the condition comes into play.....big time.....the centering, light hinged, heavy hinged, how fresh looking the stamp is, etc....

As others have mentioned check EBay for comparable stamps and use as a benchmark as to retail value.

Regards + HH

Bill
