I have the whole first set. Mint. Worth about 3-5 hunge. Have a bout 50 unopened wax packs for series 3 as well. Always liked them.
Supposedly they were brought out from the same people that came out with cabbage patch dolls.
I was young when the cards came out and unlike sports card I didn't see a value for them in Beckett or whatever the other book was. So the cards got trashed most likely. You get them on eBay pretty cheap.
