I didn't recognize most of the titles and was wondering if
any of the collections contained any gems or any authors I
should particualrly look for. I can buy them for .50 each,
but don't imagine they will be around very long. Can anyone
help?

I've always found some treasures in those old anthologies.
Kersh stories, Ray Bradbury, even a John WYndham novella
("The Kraken Wakes") among the sorts of stories you might not
expect to find in a Hitchcock anthology. Because those early
collections pulled stories from all sorts of magazines, not
just AHMM.
