{| |- | The first step is to identify the stamps. Consult a stamp catalog such as Scott's, which include pictures and descriptions of all the stamps.

What is the value of a 1957 Honoring The Teachers of America stamp?

The value of a stamp depends on many factors, one of which is are you buying or selling? If your mind is set on getting just this one particular stamp, you should be able to find a dealer who will sell you one for 20 cents for a mint copy or for a very fine used copy. If you want a used copy and want several other stamps, you should look for a mix or packet-- you might likely find one of these for 1 cent or less-- or look for a collector who likely would give you a used one or sell you a mint one for face value. If you want a mint copy, and don't know any collectors, you can find dealers offering mixes of mint stamps for less than face and you might find one of these in such a lot. If you have one to sell-- just one has almost no value unless it is mint, in which case you use it for postage at its face value.It would be hard to get any cash for it. If it is used, just one has almost no value unless you can find someone who needs it for his collection. Some dealers do buy such stamps, but they want large quantities and the buying price for this stamps would be $0.50 to $.75 per hundred, postpaid to them grouped in large lots, say $50 worth.
