Collectible 12 ga. ammo?

Part of the gun collection I am helping dispose of is some ammunition. There are two(2) twenty-five (25) round boxes of Wanda 12 ga target. IIRC, the Wanda was an effort to build an all plastic shotshell that could be reloaded. am I correct? If so, does this have collector value? Really wondering if it's worth the trouble to have it sent here, photo it, and put together the auction listing.
As always, thanks for the guidance, B

Check out an auction site called Ward's collectables.
They auction lots of ammo boxes, all flavors. Might even get lucky and find some that were recently sold.
My 2 cents, those boxes won't have too much value to a collector. Now a fellow with a lady friend named Wanda might like to have them.
OK to mention above site?
I have been around target shooting for most of my life. The Wanda shell's are neat, and make a nice item for a shot shell collection, since the are colored, but still clear. The Active shells came later, and never caught on either. I think that they would have some value, to the right collector if they are NIB, and in mint condition, but depending on the shipping cost, it might be a wash to the buyer. I have a few of the red 12 gauge ones, and they are nice to look at. IMO, keep them for yourself, they make a nice display item.
As above but I am a novice but I truly believe not worth the time/money.
There were actually several different brands of the all-plastic shotshells. As collector's items, they retail for $10-$25 per shell.
If you had them in hand, which I take you don't, they could be taken to any trap range and easily parted out for a dollar each. They are nice to look at.
