Does anyone know if there is any collectibility of the following primers and percussion caps or should I go ahead and use them. I bought them a few years ago and was wondering if they might be worth something to collectors or if they're really not worth anything? All are new and in excellant condition. I'd say most of these are out of the 60's-70's period. Thanks in advance.

    I am sure that along with Ammo collectors their is a small segment of Primer collectors However most would want older primers then yours like the ones that used to come in wooden trays to separate the rows . I also think you can only legally ship after paying HASMAT fees . depending on where and how they were stored I have used 40 year old primers with great results . Be aware that if your storage is unknown you may get misfires and I would not use these for HUNTING or PERSONAL DEFENCE.
