Ha! Got the picture posting figured out(computer genius that I am, it only took me two weeks! I'm SO proud of myself!) So I have liberally edited this post. May the Moderators be patient with me.
Ran across a once in a lifetime find at a local auction this week. Some pristine J. Greco knives that a gentleman in my area collected. He had a pile of them, all pristine, brand new condition. Many have Certificates of Authentication tags with Mr. Greco's signature and the month and year(1989) on them. I sent off some pics to Mr. Greco, and gracious individual that he is, he answered me back.

Less see if I can answer some of your questions
I started making knives full time back in 79'
And used the Etched logo for several years then switched over to the die stamp
So you have a few of both, the transition time
#4 has a Cocobolo Handle
#5 has a Packa Wood Handle
#7 and #10 Have a Zebra Wood Handle
Their was a company that made Drum sticks [I believe their name was "Thunder Sticks"] the rest of the handle material came from them
You should be able to identify the Drop Point's, Clip Point's and so on
We would not be surprised to see, in the right market, these bringing what you suggest or more since these are the only old original mint models I've seen being offered in many years. April 15 [Tax Time] ant that time.
Hope this has been of some help
Have a great day
John Greco

Remainder going on EBAY
Thanks all
 
Howdy all
Had a collector friend in California grab a few of these beauties, so I revised the pics of what I have left. If you are interested in any of these, please inquire by title number, ie '11 1989 4' so I can get the right one. Interested? Contact me at logcabinleather@gmail.com

Are you looking. These are in brand new, pristine condition. You won't find Greco
knives of this era very often. Prices include shipping. This is a good deal.
 
Ok folks, Price Drop
The knives that were $120 will now be $100, the knives that were $150, now $130 and the $225 one will be $175. It'll be $10 shipping and insurance. That will cover shipping on any or all you buy. These are in BRAND NEW condition, folks! John Greco's earliest works.
 
Top center pic, which one is that and how much? Please email me at geno.ar15@yahoo.com. I am very interested, I would say I'll take it, but I don't know how much it is, sorry. Gene
 
440c stainless. Not sure about handle material, exotic hard wood of some kind. Looks to be a fighter style knife.Is in pristine condition and is one of Mr. Greco's pre-1989 works. It's yours for your offer if you are interested. Emailed you instructions.
 
Wow as a Greco Fan this is really cool to see these knives wish I could get in on it Good luck
