    Can't really help you out on value but condition is everything and unfortunately it looks like some of them have condition issues. Maybe there is some that will be worth getting cleaned/repaired. Im sure there will be others who will be able to shed more light on these. Very cool lot though!

    Thanks fro the comments. I heard the age of the print is very important because those famous or popular topics have been reprinted in history till now days. How to identify the age is critical

    I believe we were under the impression.... they were yours...Jing !

    Please be more forthcoming in the future, as it makes a difference here if we are trying to help you understand what you have as opposed to what you're looking to buy !!....;)..:wideyed::wideyed::(

    $800 is an awful lot of money, but I think I might have sold a kidney and bought these. Don't know. Hope whoever has them really appreciates them. It was good to see these prints. All adds to the learning curve, so thanks @jingyel.

    This was super cheap, I used to handle these things almost exclusively, someone got a major score.
