What could these cards from 1929 be worth?

Me and my mother found a bag of old cards, among them being credit cards from 1929, train cards from the santa fe railroads, western union telegraph company, credit cards from the shell oil company, standard oil company credit cards.....all dating from the 1920s to 1940. They are all made out to one man, but we would like to know what these would be worth. Any suggestions? Or experts that would know something about this? Perhaps some historical information?

    Some of those old cards are hard to find and quite collectable. A good starting point is this page http://gulfnews.com/gn-focus/credit-loyalty-cards/... it tells you how to value your cards.

    I'd look into selling them on Ebay, under collectables. Break them down into categories: Example sell the shell cards under the Shell category, railroad cards under RR collectables etc. Make sure you hit the right market.
