I was breaking down a set of handlebars from a '67 Sting ray and found these blue bubble chubby grips

Picked up two sets of these coppertone sparkle chubbies yesterday. One pair on the ’67 Deluxe Typhoon and one pair on an extra set of bars that came with the bundle (bike, extra S7 wheels and a box of parts). Both pairs are in really good condition. Knowing just a little about middleweights, I am learning what I can and I think these grips are pretty cool. Couple of questions:
Are these the standard grips that would have been on a ‘67 Typhoon?
I looked at EBay, and there was only one pair listed at about $70, I believe - are these an uncommon color?

I believe they would have been on a '67, yes the coppertone are not as common as some of the other colors. Condition is the key for top $. I sold a NOS set for $85 recently.

Appears the Transparent Vinyl Flexon Plastic Grips (Jello) are #11 - #15

No signs of Bubble Grips?

Bubble grips were a defect that one of the Schwinns'(actual family) hoarded and later brought out as a private sale is what I've been told.
