I'm sorry to tell you that you might be lucky to get face value for your stamps. You can pick up many guides that will give you a worth, but those numbers are only good if you find a buyer.
Your best bet is to determine the Scott's number of the sheets you have and then do a ebay search of completed sales of that item.
You can purchase a "Guide to Stamps" at your local PO which will give the stamp numbers, however the prices listed are retail from a philatelic dealer. You would be lucky to get 25% of them unless you have a rare item.

There was no Elvis stamps from 1962,unless they were from a foreign country.
A person has to be dead 10 years before a stamp is created,although the USPS is changing that to 5 years.
They are all collectible as long as they are good condition,unused and unglued at the back of the stamp,they are worth more if unmounted and encased in a secure plastic mount,without a hinge.
