I think they'll have a wide range of prices, but probably won't get to where the regular cards have. They're not cataloged well, if at all. That makes a lot of difference in popularity.

They had a bit of popularity in the early 90's, but like anything then, some were produced in rather large quantities and some weren't. The tougher ones brought pretty decent prices, but like everything of the era have become very inexpensive.

That being said, I really like them as something a bit unusual. My favorites are the Signature rookies signed promos for the first hockey set. Otherwise normal signed cards, but with a handwritten "promo" where the serial number would be, and ???/XXX numbering written somewhere on the card. I don't even have a full list of how many of each or even if they're all available as promos. And at least for now they're cheap.
