meagain On Dec 1, 2021 a dozen of the same balls though not in mine's condition sold for $75.90 including shipping on Ebay.
Like I said, "It only takes one person".
As a direct counterpoint to this post. You will see a late 2020 link to an auction from Jeff Ellis, one of the countries most respected golf collectors by any definition. Copy and paste this into your browser.

In case you choose not to. A dozen of these most desirable classic balls new in the box started bidding for the dozen at only $25 and received zero bids.
I am not saying that there is no value to the balls, but as I sit here on a collection of vintage equipment including band new Gutta Percha balls, hand wrapped dozens of Dunlop 65 balls, and dozens of balls far older than the Trevino balls we are discussing, I can tell you that I would wrap some of these up in one's favorite color bow and ship them if ever offered anywhere near $80 per dozen.
I guess it's all in how you look at it or rather how you value it.
Collections are funny, but like I said, it only takes ONE person to make someones item "valuable" or a story to tell.... Or in the case of my link here.... a dozen practice balls to hit over the fence.
I wish you the best timing.
