Actually Chase the Chuckwagon is (well... was) considered to be one the
"holey grails" of collecting and used to fetch upwards of $300-$500 several
years ago I recall one or two going for as high as $1000 at one point, they
are a little more common in collecting circles and quite frankly, a
cartridge of that quality label going for only $70 is actually a steal.
Around $100-$125 is the going rate
