They are classified as F66 by Burdick in the ACC. They are quite scarce but not too valuable, relative to their scarcity :). Cards in gd-vg generally go for $100-$150 on ebay. Those in the links don't look too good but maybe it's the scans? Here are a few to compare to: (there are also blank backed varieties)

Very tough

I had a mini find of a dozen about 10 years ago in Northern Cal and sold them right away. Wish I would have held onto them as they now bring decent $$.

If they were more attractive with a higher quality image they would bring far more IMO.

Many have ice cream stains

I paid $300 for my cousin's card a year or so ago...first one I had EVER seen, so I had to go get it.
Image quality was comparable to possibly a touch better than those images that Leon shared above.

Really, those stains are the only reason I have ever been mad at ice cream. :D

I collect this set when I can pick one up.

The real question is did those items get taken down by an offline sale. I emailed the seller after they ended to see if they would be relisted, but so far there has been no response.
