There is a bit of a conflict here. A stamp cannot be 'Mint' and have a postmark on it, particularly from Canada. There are a number of possibilities here:

The postmark is a First Day of Issue and someone asked the postal clerk to stamp them after buying the sheet. 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. Most collectors would classify these as used stamps.

Do postage stamps have any face value if they are attached to the envelope but not the whole envelope?

It would be difficult to determine without seeing the item. In general, being on a partial is not going to add any value to it. However, there are specific cancellations and postmarks that might have a value. Your best bet is to educate yourself about cancellations and make a determination on your own.

Is there an online stamp appraiser that can help you get value of your old stamps?

It is very difficult to determine value without actually being able to examine stamps. There are catalogs online that can help identify the stamps and provide a general value. Condition is important to determining value. And the actual value is not necessarily what is in the catalog. Most dealers will pay about 25% of the catalog value, particularly for low value items. If it is a high value item, you may be able to get more for it.


Are used stamps worth anything after usps postmarks?

For any collectible to be worth anything, it must be rare, unique and/or wanted by somebody else. Nobody is going to pay a lot of money for something they can buy anywhere, from anybody. Stamps, if they are kept unused and in mint condition, can maintain their face value and actually increase in value as time goes by. A used stamp, if it is still in good condition and the postmark is not too intrusive, is still worth something to somebody. Many of the most valuable stamps in the world have been used, but they were made many years ago and are considered rare and/or unique, that is where the value, if any, arises.
