The first 7 might be worth listing on Ebay seperately, with good clear pictures of both sides. I'd just start them for a couple dollars each, and see how they go. The rest look like $1 records to me, so probably wouldn't be worth listing seperately- maybe as a group you might get rid of them. The Roosevelt might sell depending on how bad the scratches are- if it skips when you play it, you might as well chuck it though.
