Not much value to them as they can't be used for postage and most collectors prefer a full cover with cancellation. You might get a bit more than what a used stamp would bring. The postmarks are actually overprints. Canada has done a number of overprints to change value or commemorate special events. These could have good collectors value to them. Someone re-gummed a bunch of used stamps. Possible, but no real reason for it. It is also possible to use a humidor to remove stamps from paper and 'reclaim' the gum on the back.
