Are these 6 British Christmas stamp booklets worth listing on eBay as a lot, and without opening them up to display stamps?  |

There is an issue with some booklets of “2nd Class” stamps . If the stamp says “2nd” it is like a forever stamp in the US and it’s value increases with inflation and price rises , currently 0.75 p per stamp which is a handsome premium. Unfortunately and confusingly some issues only have the value of 2nd class postage at the date of issue #. 1,2,3 areprice indicated and only valued at 19p19p and 20p per stamp, 4&6 are Forevers and currently 0.75 p per single stamp.
I can’t remember which category #5 falls into without seeing the design but I think it may be 19p stamps also.
so the booklets could have face value of £15 or only £4 .

vikingeck Thank you for your input. Two of the booklets are strictly 2nd class. The other four are with denominations. At a cost of 75 cents for each booklet, I am happy either way.

The 75 cents is per single stamp which reads “2nd”. The two booklets are each x20,! You have over £40 face value there
some one on eBay in UK might pay 30%-50% face for postage. Unfortunately I have two large GB collections breaking up and amswamped with postage right now otherwise I would be tempted . Good luck
