Bertrand, I know very little about this - but one suggestion (if selling) may be to post them to ebay with a reserve on the high end of Owen's estimates and see how much interest they generate... Candace.

Yes Bertrand I know that Paik sent out some of them but I have also seen some that were clearly not sent out by Paik - or at least the handwriting of the address is clearly not Paik's and so I made an assumption (wrong?) that it was tomas' or maybe it was someone just helped him write the addresses?? > >The easiest would be to ask Paik, isn't it? >Any volunteer?

Very hard to tell, since there are so many variables, but since I have seen several small Paik posters and other printed materials from the same period go for 100-300 dollars (and higher) my somewhat educated guess is that they would be at least in this range if not a fair amount more.
