As already advised on another one of your threads, aside from precancels, cancelations don't count for anything unless the stamps are on the envelopes.
In any case, the cancelations shown, like the stamps, don't appear to be anything special.
Nothing there that a dealer would make an offer on. The few that a collector might pay a small premium for are not worth the cost of selling. The market for stamps of this kind has essentially disappeared over the past fifty years. The stamps dealers that are still in business are overloaded with this kind of material. I see no change in the future since very few young people have any interest in stamp collecting.
Can you send me some pictures of some prime examples of what is valuable so I have a better idea of what to look out for and keep an eye out for
It isn't very likely that you will find cancels from the twentieth century that will garner much, if any, premium.
How about going to your local library and checking out a copy of the Scott US Specialized catalog? All your questions will be answered in there.
