    They are cut corners of old post cards. Unfortunately not worth anything.

    Does that goes for all cut corner stamps around the world? Do some have exception. Best regard, Thanks

    These aren't stamps. They are postage designs on postcards that were collectible many decades ago. As for stamps, it depends on the stamp itself. Most are worthless but there are a few rare treasures I am sure floating around out there.

    Very interesting, since the aren't stamps.
    Can I find a web site that will allow me to verify my collection?
    Can I find the rare one in a Scott catalogue?

    Appreciate the info,
    Stay safe

    The Scott US Specialized Catalog should list them.

  • Zero commercial value: but collectable.

    Zero commercial value: but you mention collectable. Could there be a collectable value on these stamps?

    With the decline of interest in stamp collecting many items now remain "collectible" but have little or no demand. The items you show fit into this description. There was a time when the cut-out postage from postcards had some collector interest but that time has now passed.

    The full postcards would have been so much more interesting and they subject matter or postmarks might have had a little value.
