You will need to more clearly identify the stamps and the covers to determine the value. There are a number of variations. In general, they will have minimal value. Consult a stamp catalog to identify it.

Postage in 1953 was was 3 cents for a First Class letter in the US. It went up to 4 cents in August 1958. A postcard could be mailed for 2 cents.

You will have to identify the specific stamp. Use a stamp catalog to assist, in general the value will be low and most can be purchased for less than a dollar.

Probably about a $2 if it is in very good condition. And that means the entire envelope or 'cover.'

What is the value of the breast cancer stamp?

This would depend on what year it was issued and the condition of the stamp. For example a used stamp in average condition from 1998 is worth between 6 and 19 cents to a collector but could not be used for postage. An unused stamp in average condition from 1998 would be worth face value; in the case of a forever stamp (without a face value printed), it would be worth whatever the current postage rate has been raised too (as of January 2013, it would be worth 46 cents) and could be used for postage at that value.
