The Christmas seals are listed in the back of the Scott Specialized Catalogue of United states of america Stamps and Covers.

They do have some value. Not my surface area of expertise, just I'm certain they are collectable.

The Scott Specialized U.South. Catalog lists Christmas seals but non Easter seals.

Equally with stamps, prices vary according to perforation varieties. Most se-tenant problems are but valued as blocks of 4, not as singles.

The seals in the photos are shown too small for me to await them upward, but in general, only Christmas seals produced before 1930 take a relatively high catalog value. A handful of the more than modern blocks catalog a dollar or ii, near of them less.

From a quick glance they look to be from the 1960'south, and so not much catalog value there as they all list from .35¢ - $1.20. The Christmas seals worth coin are the 1907 - 1919 American National Red cross bug. In 1920 they were issued by the National Tuberculosis association and that's pretty much where the values drop. I'm not sure if there is a premium for full sheets / large blocks as Scott's Specialized does non listing any.

Some of the early on U.s. Christmas Seals tied on cover accept gone over the $1000 mark.
I would recommend that you join The Christmas Seal & Charity Stamp Society . A great group of collectors with an first-class magazine and famous literature.

http://www.seal-order.org/

Another recommendation is John Denune's site

http://christmasseals.internet/

i personally find that the early Swedish Christmas Seals and Flag Day Seals offers and then much in traditional philately.

Enjoy.

Then why not build on what you lot take and start your own collection.

I found that starting on a 'Foreign' experience there was more in it for me. The thrill of the search, etc.
Although, I like many other baby boomer collectors had an early Scandinavian Christmas TB drove basically considering the first Seals were from Denmark in 1904 and Sweden followed in 1906 with others and the Usa in 1907.

An interesting overview here:

Savor.

No time like the present to start.
