Do they have any collector values?

20 or 30 round?  they don't really bring a premium much as colt was the majority of the usgi 20s.  some of the .223 or circle 1 one marked ones sell for a little more.  the 30s with a number in the body with a dark green follower brings a slight premium as well.

Early marked circle with one inside or Armalite / Colt marked have collector value but as with everything collectible, condition is key.  NIW older mags are generally a hard sell at much more than $20 ea.  Ban states,  I wouldn't call collector value but the mags are worth more in those than free states.  Most that even use them won't pay over $10 for surplus aluminum follower 20 rd mag unless they simply want one to go with their retro build, want one of various mfg's or have more coins than brains.  

Modern production such as Brownells or NHMTG are a much better deal for actual shooting.  If one wants the retro look swap out the early floorplates as that's about the only part that isn't or won't wear out unless damaged.

I think about half of my 20s are Colt. I don't recall paying more than $15 a piece for them.

I just bought about 10 current production Colt LE mags for $11 each. In retrospect I should have bought more.
