Asking price doesn't always correlate to selling price. I like newsprint and your items have excellent eye appeal and subject matter for what they are; but unfortunately many consider newsprint to be on or near the low end of the collectible family of printed tems - with programs, tickets, photos, posters/broadsides, cards, tobacco and gum cards all being more collectable and thus, more valuable. I think that $100-200 for each of these would be a reasonable price range.
