EGA's I picked up in a trade - I know nothing about them, any advice?

Hey all,

 

I'm just getting back into buying/selling/trading again after finishing grad school. This is my first trade, and, like a fool, I did it without knowing anything about what I was getting. I traded with a guy in town who has an antique shop who has historically been honest and truthful, so I have no reason to believe he screwed me.

 

I traded 5 patched, named Seabee BDUs for these EGAs. Honestly, I just wanted them out of the house, so I'm glad I got something for them besides $5 a piece.

 

Attached are the pictures with the card as they were given to me. Any advice on these EGAs? Are they as described? What about how much they're worth?

Large one is a late-WWII enlisted cover emblem in economy lead. The one marked 1920 is actually a WWII enlisted collar or sidecap emblem. And the clutchback pair is a pair of enlisted Korean War era collar emblems

Excellent! Thank you so much. I was going to ask $25 for the BDUs, so it looks like this was a fair trade overall. I'll let the owner of the shop know as well.
