I haven’t been able to find out anything about these. They’re from Hong Kong dated 1989. I would like to know their value – or how to find out their value. Thanks!!

Current exchange rates for the dollar to the Hong Kong dollar (yes, it is really called that) is about 7.7:1, and is still divided into 100 cents.
So. you can figure out what the stamps face value is with a bit of math (i cannot see the images clearly enough to do it for you, or i would)
I am operating under the assumption that circulated stamps from 1989 are not going to have much in the way of collectable value (but i could be wrong)
In all reality if you are looking to sell them, your best bet is to find someone who wants to expand a stamp collection, and see what kind of offer they are willing to make!

It’s a bit difficult to tell from your picture, as it is pretty small… but the two stamps on the left look to be from the 1994 “Chinese Festivals” set; not sure about the stamp on the right.
In any case, I agree with johncraftstreasures that they will most likely not be worth much above the face value, given they are of such recent vintage. Hong Kong, however, is a fairly popular collecting area so there are quite a few collectors out there.

Agree with others above…….these would be considered “current” era stamps and values would likely be quite low…….
You can check them at www.worldstamps.com but will require the
catalog numbers to identify them……..
