Thematically they appear more "serious" or mature than those of Sweet Caporal - another equally popular brand. As for finding one in the original frame - especially if it has attribution in it - or is particularly ornate - I might pay up to a 25% premium. I have quite a few card related advertising pieces to provide ancillary support for my card collection. The problems begin when one is a completist - these things take up a bit more space than a card :-)
I must be one heck of a bargain shopper, because I've not paid $450/$550 (retail) for any of my similar displays. These are not hard to find and come up for sale quite often. One just needs to be patient and not over pay.
