Well, I know most collectors don't like to see or hear "value/worth" related questions, since it tends to make them think that others are collecting or buying things for the "wrong" reasons. But though this topic is somewhat taboo and often frowned upon on a collecting board, it's certainly still allowed. I guess if you ask that type of question, you just have to be prepared for some potentially negative reactions to it too.
Anyway, hopefully you're more interested in the "personal" value of these things like you said Carmine, but if not, you're still free to ask about them, and maybe if it annoys anybody, they can just ignore it, or perhaps tell you the benefits of collecting for enjoyment instead. That said, good luck with tracking those items down...
