Quite a nice find. I agree you will want to put these in individual currency sleeves to protect them.

I would also say don't try to improve their appearance in any way as that will negatively impact the retail value.

Nothing jumps out at me here. All appear common, low grade, and damaged.

I don't know how the baseball card market is doing these days, but those might be worth something too.

Especially if there is a Honus Wagnor baseball card in there...

Regarding the baseball cards, there is still a market for those old tobacco cards ESPECIALLY the hall of famers. Obviously, Honus Wagner is the king of these, but the Ty Cobbs, etc will always command good money.

For these additional $5 and $10 notes, they are lower grade and certainly not of rarity as some of those National Bank Notes. But you might still get a total of $250ish out of them on the ebay.

Early baseball cards are always strong. Try HA archives for tons of input. These could be worth much more than your currency.
