"WORTH" is kind of relative terminology! All collectibles have many different values to many different people! They are worth a lot to someone that has a personal connection and worth a pretty fair price to someone thats looking for a certain piece thats in the bunch and worth very little to someone that doesn't care about or collect paper type collectibles(in this instance)! I was once asked by a banker as to the value of a certain object and I replied that it "was worth exactly what you could talk someone else into paying for it"! That phrase will hold true for a vast array of collectibles and any price guides you find will be exactly that--a guide used to find a starting place for negotiations. Hope that helps!!

To me the SuperTest bingo games and the En-Ar-Co pamphlets are the only items that are really collectible. But as Kevin said, to different collectors certain items are worth more than to others.(I paraphrased,LOL)

I'm really curious, too, what vehicle (and in what setting) they were in.
Value is not really relevant here to me - just the awesome fact that they're so well preserved after being in there for so long. A mouse got in the glove box of my truck in just one winter -- these maps got lucky!
I really like the En-Ar-Co pamphlets too. Is the woman talking about her hat size? Her head looks enormous compared to the rest of her body.

I always check gloveboxes of old cars. I usually just find maps. Still not bad.

Very nice stuff. Check all the little storage areas too. Found this just before my Mom traded in the truck. He was tucked away in the jack's storage compartment. Glad I double checked. This little guy turned 84 this year and I am glad he is still part of the family. Mike
