The value depends upon the specific stamp and the time frame. Most current FDC covers can be purchased for a dollar from a dealer. Large value stamps and older covers have a larger value and may be worth considerably more. Plate blocks also add to value. Consult a catalog to identify the stamp. Specialty catalogs for FDCs can also give you more accurate values.
Most US stamps in the last 70 years had a First Day of Issue cancellation. In general they are worth about a dollar, but there are many exceptions. It will take some detective work to narrow down the search. Use a catalog that contains FDC information online or through your local library to identify the specific item. It will also provide an estimated value.
Not necessarily. Many stamps are valued for their cancellations and sometimes the envelopes they are "tied" to.

I have a box of cards and envelopes for each of the 1984 olympic games with stamps to match the game.
It would be hard to generalize a value of any type just from a time frame. However, complete envelopes from Russia with the stamps intact from this time frame are very desirable! Depending on the stamps and dates, the covers could have some good value. It would be well worth spending some time with a stamp catalog and learning about them. The link below is a catalog that will provide the identification that can assist you in finding values.
Commercially produced First Day Covers of standard commemoratives like this are typically worth about a dollar. The Bicentennial stamps may bring a slightly higher value. Higher value stamps, or specific cachet makers are worth more. A specialized catalog will list the value of a cachet or un-cacheted cover.
First Day Covers are worth more than ordinary covers. Stamps bought on the first day themselves, without cancellations, cannot be identified as being issued on the first day. Leave them on the cover if you have them!
The Queen Victoria orange half penny stamp is worth around $17 if used, and $100 if unused. Some varieties can go as high as $1,000 if unused.
Scott US#1500 1501 1502 and C86There were four stamps issued in a set in 1973. If there is one stamp on the envelope, it is probably worth about a $1. If one envelope contains all four stamps, it would be worth a bit more.
No. Although the "letter series" were designed to function as nondenominated stamps, each successive letter has a specific value after it was superseded. Only the Forever stamps are good for a one-ounce letter "forever." The H stamp is worth 33 cents toward the 2011 rate of 44 cents (88 cents large envelopes). The H "makeup rate" stamp (rooster weathervane) is worth only 1 cent.
cable 1st issue is worth 200$
No, it's not necessarily an easy process to get food stamps, but it is pretty standard and worth it if you need them. You will have to fill out some paperwork and prove that your income falls below a certain threshold. They usually issue an emergency card good for the first month while the paperwork is being processed.
