Question
Hi - overall question - how do I find the value of US Commemorative Postage stamps from the last 20 or 30 yrs?

Also, I have a sheet of 29cent Love stamps - what are they worth?

Thanks

Answer
Walt,

Bring your stamps to the library and ask at the reference desk for the Scott Specialized Catalog of United States Stamps and Covers.  There you will find photographs and current values for every United States stamp ever issued, sorted by date of issue.

The Brookman retail stamp catalog lists for sale the 29c Love sheet of fifty water activated gum stamps at $48.50.  They sell on ebay for about half or less of that figure.
