Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. It is a charming collection of Punch out cards. Such vintage collectors items are being offered at auction on a regular basis. These cards tend to have many collectors however in order to get the highest price when selling items like this they have to be in mint condition and un-played with. Which it looks is the case with your cards. The collectors favour the ones that have not yet been punched out of the card. It appears that only a few of yours have been punched out. If you should choose to sell them I may think that you would obtain the best selling price if they were sold individually or perhaps in smaller groups of 2-3 cards together. Possible buyers/collectors may already have some of them and if sold as one lot they would have to deal with selling their doubles. Hopefully this makes sense. Individually the ones in mint condition would sell for 50-70 US$ each The estimate provided is for a well-advertised specialised online vintage toys and cartoons auction, where I believe the Hopalong Cassidy cards has the best chance of realising its fullest potential. However, there is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the Tell a tale cards. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I’m happy to help. Thank you
