Found Ted Williams Shotgun Shells in My garage rafters today

Was seeing what i had stored away in my garage rafters today and found 2 boxes and some shells (about 25) Sears Ted Williams 20 gauge shotgun shells under some insulation. I only bought the house 2 years ago....so someone forgot these long ago. From what i can gather off of EBAY they were realeased maybe 1962??? Has anyone seen these, know the age, Value?? anyone collect weird old Baseball player promoted items like these. The Boxes and each shell have a Ted Williams Facsimile signature on them. Here are a few pics.....

The Sears and Grab-A-Buck catalog was a lifeline to stuff
and lifestyle info, just like the internet is today.
The fall and winter outdoorsman supplements usually had
TW on the cover, and most of the sporting-goods pages had
his image or name on them somewhere. In the annual Big
Book, he dominated the pages of the sporting pages AND
was included in many of the clothing pages; including suits
and sports-wear.
In about 1960-61, you could order your Ted Williams shotgun -
Remington was an early maker for S&R - from the catalog and pick
it up at your local Sears outlet. There was no freight charge added
to your bill for such pick-ups, but you had to pay a tiny bit extra if
you wanted stuff delivered directly to your house.
Even in large cities - but especially in small towns - S&R was the
standard by which many Americans judged quality merch
and customer service.
The notion that S&R was somehow "too working-class" to
be fashionable, really did not infiltrate consumerville until
early in the 1970s.
Sears stores participated in the spread of shopping centers to
the early suburbs, but the lines at their catalog pick-up windows
usually dwarfed the crowds that were shopping the store racks.
Ted Williams was a major force in building the brand loyalty that
allowed S&R to survive longer than retailing trends and consumer
preferences indicated it should have.
