Do you mean that you have a 30 volume 1976 set new in an unopened box and 16 additional paper updates or yearbooks?
It would help if you could post pictures of the box (information) and books but maybe someone can still help you.
Does the box state what type of leather? Padded?
Color?
1976 is one of the 15th edition sets that were made from 1974 to 2010. Of course, each year had some differences and the earlier years of the 15th Edition are not always the most popular.

However, since your set is still in an unopened box this should add some value to your set. The updates are good but may not increase the value very much.

You can do your own research on eBay as you have all of the crucial information to find if any set listed is the same as yours.
You can check out eBay's for sale listings and if you find a similar set, you can place a watch on that listing to see if it sells.
Books are not always fast sellers and some sets will be listed for months/years before they sell; if they sell.

Please remember; for sale items are just prices that sellers want to receive for their items but only a sold listing will give you an idea of what people are willing to pay for an item.

here is a link to eBay's sold listings.
You can go through this list and maybe find a set like or very similar to yours to see what price someone paid.
Also, check out what type/number of pictures and descriptions are shown.

If you decide to sell, I would suggest you start your price higher (maybe $600 to $750) and consider all offers; list on any sites you are familiar with and leave posted for a few weeks; if no offers then you may need to start lowering the price and wait again.

Its hard to find a buyer. You may be better off donating it and taking a tax deduction
