Price & Valuation — My Estimate

Because these appear to be local-post / precanceled overprint stamps (rather than standard national issues), their value is more niche and depends heavily on collector demand, rarity of that specific overprint, and condition.

I cannot find any record of a Springfield, Ohio local post 2c/5c pair in major catalogues in my quick search.

But to give you a ballpark:

For a single used local overprint in modest condition, perhaps £5 to £20 each (just as a rough niche stamp estimate)

For the pair, you might get £10 to £40, if collectors are interested

If it turned out the overprint is extremely rare or misprint, it could command more — but that’s speculative.

So a safe “Buy It Now” listing might be £25 for the pair, allowing room for offers (or slightly higher if condition is very good).

As for an auction start, maybe £8–£10 start price (to attract bidders), with no reserve (or low reserve).

If I had to pick:

Recommended “Buy It Now” price: ~ £25

Auction starting price: ~ £10

You could also include “or Best Offer” to allow negotiation.
