nothing really. Well not anymore than a regular shotshell from walmart would be worth.

Federal paper is the trap shooter's choice. For some reason that hull produces a very low recoil pulse and the trap shooters dig it. Kind of a pain to handload though.......

hold on by chance do you mean a cellulite hull instead of brass or re-enforced hardened with glue and pressed cardboard those could be worth $5 each
