    You'll have to search stamp sites and previous auctions i'm afraid.
    You'll need to do the groundwork.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    If you mean you have a complete sheet of stamps of one value you may find it hard to find a price as it will vary from year to year and stamp to stamp.

    I'm afraid that they may well be worth little more than face value.

    Your best bet is to put them on eBay starting at face value and hope that they take someone's fancy.

    It is actually quite rare for modern stamps, especially those from major countries to be particularly valueable. And 'modern' in stamp terms means post WWII!

    Also, be aware that looking up the value in a Stanly Gibbons catalogue will give you a grossly inflated idea of the value of the stamp. They are listed at around 4-6x what you can buy them for!
