I'm organizing my collection of mint US sheets and find that I have a companion to the 2001 Frida Kahlo sheet that is a 50-stamp Mexican Frida Kahlo sheet. I'm tryind to find out the value of that sheet. I've seen singles on Ebay offered at 3-5$ but I can't find a sheet anywhere. Any suggestions? Thanks.

For newer stamps, If the singles are from the sheet, then the entire sheet is usually simply the catalog value of singles multiplied by the quantity on the sheet. That should give you a ballpark value.
Note that single stamps on eBay have very high prices to cover dealer expenses & eBay fees. For example I looked at the Kahlo issue and a full sheet is selling for around $10, but singles start at $1.00.
FYI - The catalog value for most modern mint issues in Scott catalog are face value plus some premium or multiplier. Used are often given the same value
Please don’t fall into the fantasy of believing that your holding’s value equates to asking prices you see on eBay. Sold prices are more useful. Catalog value does not equal worth. It takes an incredible amount of time and energy to sell stamps where you sell at those prices. That’s why most collections sell for a tiny fraction of catalog value. I currently sell at 5 - 10 % of catalog for most items, a bit more for MNH.
