It depends how bad someone wants them. There's an auction show that runs on PBS that gives appraisels for antiques. I'm amazed at some of the prices they give out for something I would consider "junk". I did see a guy with some old baseball cards. I mean OLD 1920's. 1930's. I believed they were apraised at $200-$300. You have to pay attention to how they say it. They say "At auction we think these baseball cards would sell for $200-$300 dollars. So .. that means you have to put them up for sale at auction and hope somebody wants them and is willing to pay $200 for them 'duh'? It sure ain't rocket science ;-)
