Rusty I buy and sell guides every day. I think Rick is very close. That 1963 is popular but that copy is not in great shape, I would think 10-15 might be reasonable.
The Bears guides are by far the most common of all 50's and 60's NFL guides. A curious side note is that you would think they would be less common, Halas was noted for being cheap but they seem to have produced a large number of guides? Also in the early 1960's the Bears offices were ravaged by a fire. You often see early Bears guides and programs with fire damage.
I have found the 1950's Bears guides a little more common than the early 60's, maybe more were in circulation before the fire?
I would say $15-25 for the pre-65 guides $10-15 for the later issues. The Hall of Fame program probably $20-25. Good luck on all your sales.
