All three are in fair condition (no folds, tattered edges). I was wondering what the ballpark value for these might be. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I took a quick look at Bruce's database (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archive.html - You have to be registered to see prices)
Hard Day's Night - $300-$900 depending on condition and the market that day (for the original release - the B/W 80's re-release goes for under $50.)

Bonnie and Clyde - seems to be a sub $100 poster. The special and the linenbacked one are not indicative

To Sir With Love - only 1 listed for $47 in 2011.

Not surprised here. The film has not aged well, and is not currently a hot item with collectors.
Again, don't take anything I say a gospel. First, Bruce tends to get a bit better than average wholesale for his material. You'd pay more from a dealer, but get less if you tried to sell it to one. Second, once again it is very dependent on condition. Third, in any auction, it depends on who is looking that day. As I said, 40x60 can be a tough sell.
