Does anybody happen to know where these posters came from?

Sorry for the crummy phone pictures. I bought the full set of four of these probably when I was 10-11 around 1973 or so. I remember paying a lot at the time (considering it was allowance money) and there was a note on the set that they were from a teen or beat magazine from 1964. I've never seen another set and I can't remember where they originally were published or sold. The ex-wife had made me take them off the walls and I just recently found them again in my attic. I would guess that they're about 14" x 18" or so.

Any idea of the value nowadays? I need to frame them again and they're going on the walls in the room with the amps, but I would be interested in knowing if they're rare or valuable...maybe more than the $35-40 I paid when I rode my Schwinn Sting-Ray up to get them :)

Thanks for the link. I can't imagine what album these would have come with and I thought I remembered them being from a special edition teen mag (according to the tag when I bought them close to 40 years ago. They're definitely real posters and not tear out pages though.
