These are incredibly valuable.
I am a Mad collector and these are only worth $50 tops.
I have over 350 issues. I don't know where you are getting your information but these two are worth several hundred dollars if they are in near mint condition.
try eBay
I have an almost complete set as well as original art, records, promo items, and other related items.
Try the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide. It's a little more precise and accurate than a random listing on eBay.
Price guides are not accurate reflections of selling price. eBay shows what people are willing to pay with an audience of millions. Many experts will tell you that.
Price guides are more like an appraisers insurance value. You will never get that price but if you lost it is is adequate funds to buy a new one.
Have you ever been to a comic book show? Price guides show the going rate for a given item. I have gotten, and paid priceguide values hundreds of times. I have watched people at these shows walk away with issues like these after paying top dollar. People selling these for $50 are robbing themselves.
I have to admit that you pay a premium to see it in person but I guarantee you that no one has proof of selling these for $350.
Those are a very nice find!
If you have a consecutive issue run, you will get a pretty good price, depending on condition.
Need help rehabing those houses:)?????
