They sure do,any shells like that do.Maybe not a whole bunch,but to some guys at gun shows thats all they collect and sell. i would keep them for a day or two,and look around if your wanting to get rid of them. vangunsmith

Depends what condition they are in. Just the empty boxes have value.
I have a bunch in real good condition, have also brass shotgun shells,
REM-UMC 12ga 00 BUCK.
Make sure the paper shells are not swollen, or they loose value.
I even have empty cans of rifle oils that are very old.

Good luck!

People will buy anything. If in doubt, check out Ebay. You just have to find that someone who's looking for what you have!
