Artwork - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have in my possesion some Tolkien artwork postcards with envelopes in packs of about 6, I've got 3 of these packs. My grandmother gave them to me after finding out I'm a tolkien fan. In the 70's she worked on a paper in the UK that used them as a promotion. Since then they have sat in a wardrobe in their plastic sleeves. I'd like to know how much they are worth but don't know how. They are dated 1977 and are in mint condition.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Wow! That's so cool! I wish i had something like that! I bet it's over $100! Unless you live in Europe, in which case it's ____Euros! And if it won't sell for $100, i know people that would pay for something like that! Anyways, don't sell it, it's a piece of history!

These cards sound fantastic, no matter how much of the movie memorabilia you might find, something pre-movies is unique. Do they say who the artist was, or do they have any indication if they were limited prints? Or do you mean they are prints from Tolkien's own artwork? Anyway, I'd keep them!
