I've come into a group of 23 modern proof sets: 1968-1990. Anything I should look for specifically?

Hey there. I know modern proof sets don't go for much, but I came into a grouping and I might want to unload it. Before I do, is there anything I should be looking for? A set or a coin that may be particularly valuable/interesting or otherwise that I should watch out for? (There is nothing pre-64 unfortunately.)
Also, as far as selling them, it's probably easiest as a lot,, despite not making as much...right? I think selling each one on eBay would be a royal pain given that they aren't worth that much. What do y'all good folks think? What would you do with them?
Thanks in advance!

The 1968 and 1971 sets have some doubled dies to look for, a few are worth quite a bit!
Awesome! Didn't know that!
For a second there, I thought it was one of my posts.

HAHA! Hi there! Yeah, that's my Meko. She's been my icon on this board since 2004! Unfortunately, she passed in 2017 at the ripe old age of 17. Your's looks cute too! They are great dogs, but they aren't for everyone.
There's also some desirable doubled dies in the 1969 set-25c obv and the 1970-S set-cent and half dollar-obv on both. The 50c in the 1968 set exists with an inverted Mint mark and a normal/inverted MM.

If you have a Cherrypickers guide there is a listing in the Appendix.

Hi, Lib! Long time no see!
Looks like the others here already answered your question. Good look searching them!
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Look for this relatively new discovery on the 1968-S proof Kennedy mintmark:
