   Hi Drew,   
      
   The real 'value' is what you might realistically achieve for them through   
   sale / auction.   
      
   Check them out on eBay under 'completed sales' (tick the box in the column   
   on the left-hand side of the page).   
      
   Catalogue and dealer prices may well give you an 'over optimistic' price.   
      
   Regards,   
      
   Keith
