Rare, 50's, vintage signed red sox photos....

I'm looking to sell/auction this item... any guesses how much these are worth, or how to find out?
Here's the story...
About 2 years ago my father purchased a very old house in N.S. Canada. It was a little delapidated, so of course he was going to do an overhaul on it. We had found many, many old religious cards, and books whatnot circa 1870's-1930's in the basement to tell how old it was. When tearing down a wall my father saw an envelope, and flipped the slightly yellowed and wrinkled envelope to see that it was from Fenway park! Upon opening it, there is a stack, assumably the entire lineup for the redsox in early 50's in near mint condition considering there age, all sepia portrait photos signed... they may have used dark graphite,(or printed, can't tell) I haven't wanted to really see if one would smear. The first name I discerned was 'Hershell Freeman' so I did a little digging and I think I have narrowed it down to early 50's. They feel almost leathery they are so old... I am interested in auctioning them but I don't know where to begin, all of my searches have turned up nothing even close to them... Could someone please give me some insight on this matter, I hope to be scanning a few soon. Any insight is much appreciated.
