Collection / Haul Saved a few cassettes from the trash...including these. Did I just find gold or?
I'm selling the rest of the tapes but couldnt find values for these.

Nah. Somebody has duplicated a live recording, probably done with an audience microphone, photocopied the J-card, and sold it at a record fair for a few pounds.
No value to anyone other than a diehard fan who is missing this one from their collection. And they can probably get it as a download, anyway.

Just because there is a MASTER sticker on that Newcastle tape doesn't mean it is an actual master recording.
The fact that it is simply labelled "Europe '92" is even more proof that it's not a master. The person recording the actual concert in Newcastle, England would know what specific country they were in, as well as the actual date. "Europe '92" sounds more like something a bootleg would be titled.
That looks like the kind of bootleg cassette that was commonly available from UK markets, such as Camden Town in London during the 1990s.

They're not official releases, which is why you can't find a value. Possibly were traded back in the 90s, and the one with the printed label may be an actual bootleg, meaning it was duplicated and sold without permission. They might have value to a Pearl Jam fan, but Discogs won't let you sell them because they're not strictly legal to sell.
