I took it to a stamp show, and the dealer who looked at it said that anything post WWII is essentially good only to use as current postage at face value, as there is no rarity to any of them.

You might want to donate them to a school, as many stamps commemorate historical events or anniversaries. As a bonus, that may encourage a student to take up collecting.
