Note on Value: The monetary value of these stamps is highly dependent on their condition (Mint Never Hinged/MNH is usually highest), whether they are used (cancelled/CTO), and the current market demand. Individual eBay listings show a range of prices (typically low to moderate for the basic set and souvenir sheet in Mint Never Hinged condition, e.g., a few US dollars up to around $25-30 for sets and blocks, but this is not a professional appraisal). For an accurate current value, a specialized philatelic catalog or an appraisal from a stamp dealer is recommended.
