I would think that most of these that were opened did not survive these last 50 years. To have decent value, I would suspect that you would need all correct original parts and all three stickers (front team insignia, back name and uniform number, and cap insignia). The adhesive on the stickers wasn't super strong, so even light play probably resulted in the loss of many of the stickers. If I recall correctly, the Standard Catalog may have given a value for cards and then an estimated value for loose figures(?) Many of the players in the set are very popular, which helps. Have some of mine in a small display case - sorry for the low quality!
WOW LOVE THIS DISPLAY
This is a great way to highlight these.
Makes it a showpiece/center piece for a room
