Question
I have two Red Cloud 10cents stamps, 1 Sinclair lewis 14 cent stamp and two Margaret Mitchell 1 cent stamps. Are collectors interested in these stamps, found them in an old secretary that belonged to an Aunt.

Answer
Bunny,

Definitive stamps such as those you describe are quite common (hundreds of millions were produced), and have not appreciated in any significant value. I would recommend using the stamps for postage.
