In the US postage stamps are always valid. You do still have to have enough to cover the current postage cost. And Forever stamps are always valid for one ounce of first class mail, regardless of the actual cost.

Can I use last year's postage stamps even though the price has now gone up?

How do you seal old postal stamps?

It's unclear what you mean by seal. If you want to keep old postage stamps, you should buy a proper book to store them in, use hinges (some like them, some don't) or sleeves to protect them. You can't regum the stamp if that is what you mean. Once the gum (glue on the back) is gone, it's gone. You are not allowed to regum it.

How much is Gone With the Wind postage stamp worth?

This is a common stamp which is easily obtainable. No stamp in good condition is worthless to a collector. This one is a part of a commemorative set and so is not the most common. Mint US stamps always worth their face value if one can find use for them for postage. Common mint stamps retail for about twice face . The minimum retail price for used stamps varies with the dealer but is around 15 to 25 cents. This one might sell for up to 50 cents. As for selling common stamps-- dealers do not buy them one at a time. They get them by buying collections or accumulations of thousands of stamps. They usually have all the common stamps they can sell because they get them along with the scarcer stamps.
