I would not pay anything for any bringback paper, because they are too easy to fake. Old paper is readily accessible, and typewriter font (or even typewriters) are available as well. It's too easy to print up a fraudulent bringback paper and claim it's original.

One thing to look for in bringback papers is whether the writing is done with a ballpoint pen. As Eric's paper in post #1 shows, they were not yet in general use in WW II.
