There was a guy in MCW who used to have full page ads of these with prices ranging from $25 to $100.
One time on eBay I saw a lot of 100 of these, and I got them for $100, and I thought, "I am rich!", thinking of the MCW guy. I put them on eBay (this was back when I started my auctions at $2.99) and hardly any of them even got a bid. Last year I sold around 75 of them individually, including lots of good titles, and they went from $1 to $5 for most of them, and the very best went for $10 to $20. Why? In those pre-TV and radio days, the family piano was a big source of entertainment, and a good song would sell a million copies of its sheet music. All that sheet music was saved in the piano bench, so tons of just about every one survive, which does not make for a good collectible. I have seen some wonderful ones from the 1910s (with Chaplin or cartoon characters) sell for $50 to $100, but those have really cool covers, and apparently are really rare. Kind of like the video posters of a much earlier era. They too don't get any respect.
