Hello
I'm wondering if these Irish stamps in my old stamp album have any value - monetary not novelty I mean! If anyone would mind taking a look.

If there is something of value; is there any auction house or dealer in the Cork area I could contact?
I've seen other posts that mention MacDonnell Whyte in Dublin and emerald-isle-gifts.com. Maybe I could contact MacDonnell Whyte by email.
Thanks.

FDC - First Day Cover.

eBay is your friend in these matters - the few 1st day covers are probably worth a couple of pounds - if you can find someone that wants them, and the loose ones nothing. MacDonnell Whyte's wouldn't be interested.

Thanks. Might try that, though I've not had much success selling on eBay.ie. eBay.co.uk was much better.
I notice most FDCs on ebay haven't been addressed or posted - unlike mine, dammit!

Maybe giving to a charity would be the easier option.

Did you try the 1st day covers on Adverts.ie?

I've had a look now. One of my "An chead Dail" is on for 30€ - and I have two sets! But with 300+ views still no offer made. I'll be happy to undercut that price.

But here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ireland-1969-Inauguration-of-the-First-Dail-Set-on-2-x-Plain-FDCs/201891794871?hash=item2f01b04fb7:g:fEMAAOSwmgJY71uf is the 1st Dail FDCs for £8.

Buy it Now on eBay is not the best price guide and if you watch items for auction only you will get a better idea.

Must be because one stamp is crooked! And it's not MNH of course. I'm learning the lingo.
Thanks. I'll chance a few ads but it's time consuming and I should really focus on the bigger junk to clear-out.
