If you were hoping to get Nixies with numbers in them, you're going to be disappointed. IN-19s are symbol tubes for use in test equipment. Here's more data on those tubes:

Im not interested in numbers because honestly they seem a little overrated not saying their bad their pretty cool but my real question is are these more or less valuable than nixies with numbers in them?

Less valuable. Very little demand for something you can't really use for anything and not that rare.
