Beatles vinyl coin purses

Almost certainly unauthorized and unlicensed, these cute vinyl coin purses are still considered original 60's memorabilia. The strange thing is (to me anyway), the bottom two are pretty obviously George and Ringo, but the top two both look like Paul! The one on the top right (closed eyes, open mouth) seems to be the hardest to find in my experience. I got my first one (George) at Beatlefest 20+ years ago, and didn't see any for years until the advent of Ebay, where I finally completed my set. Currently (Dec.03), I've seen these go for anywhere from $25-40 in excellent condition, or around $100-125 for the set. I've seen them in the following colors: red, blue, purple (all shown above) as well as pink and yellow.

 

A friend of mine brought this back from a trip to Sweden a few years ago. The Harrison card was the first in a pack of 10, numbered HB 81 to HB 90. The other cards included photos of Fabian, Raymond Burr, Hayley Mills, and oddly, 2 cards of the Flintstones! If anyone out there has more info on these cards or their value, please contact me. (BTW, the backs of the cards are blank).
