Hi and welcome,

I wouldn't say the stamps are rubbish, but don't quit your day job just yet. They are actually pre 1930. Most are not worth too much. The $1 can be worth some depending on perf, but in its current company, I would guess its the perf11 which is worth around $1.5 or so. It doesn't matter on value though if you enjoy it. There are many interesting stamps that are not worth much.

Welcome and do not worry about the value too much if you are just getting started.

A great link w/ color pictures of all US stamps is:
