Opinions vary on values of stamps. A stamp's value is always determined by certain physical characteristics, aesthetic characteristics, and the need of that collector to add this to his/her collection or that dealer's ability to place the collection in inventory with hopes of reselling it. It always starts with a cursory examination of what you have to determine if there is really anything of value. Most of the time collections have very little value to collectors. In fact 90% of all collections are worthless to collectors/dealers. But don't throw that collection away until you have made an effort to determine what you have found. It is wise to reserve judgement on what you have until a collector or dealer has had time to determine its worth.
The American Philatelic Society has an excellent article on steps to evaluating what you have. It is advised you carefully read this article provided as a link "Inherited A Collection?"
