Was wanting to know if my photos had any value?
I was cleaning out my shed and storage room and ran across some photos that someone had taken of some of the St Louis Cardinal players. Did a little research and found them to be from the roster of 1967.I identified some but not all. I have Whitey Herzog, Red Schoendienst, Johnny Romano, Nelson Briles, and Curt Flood. There are also photos of the stadium. What I want to know is do any of these pictures have any value, and where can I find out more info on these photos. I am very excited to hear some answers..10 points for the best answers. Please no point seekers. If u don't know please don't answer. Thank you and have a great day!
The pictures are close up shots of these players on the field. So whoever took them was sitting very close because the pictures are clear and in very good condition. There was other pictures of the stadium and parking lot. If u need any more details let me know and I will do the best that I can to address it.

There's not enough information here to provide a concise, or even a rough, answer.
Much depends upon the quality of the prints and, more importantly, the quality of the captured images.
If they are just a collection of candid shots and game action taken from the stands, they likely are no more than curiosities. Quality images -- posed shots, closeup game action taken from the media photographers' well -- would command much more interest.
As for the prints -- simple 3x5s or 4x6s processed through Fotomat hold far less interest than large, archival-quality prints.
Also to consider -- are the negatives there? If the negs are packaged in and the images are of sufficient quality, you could have prints rendered and sell them. The original photographer automatically holds the copyright, but it sounds like these are effectively anonymous by now and your possession of them would be influential, should an issue arise (probably would not).
I also suggest you revisit your research, at least for the Herzog pics. He was never a Cardinals player and did not become the manager until 1980; nor was he a coach for the Cards. If you can identify others, your best finds would be HOFers and All-Stars -- Brock, Gibson, Cepeda, and Carlton are in the Hall (as is Schoendienst); McCarver (whose influence we fans still cannot escape) was an All-Star that season; and ever-notable Maris was also on the team.

Therefore you will get no answers because no one will know.
My guess is they have no value because 1967 is considered very recent in terms of baseball nostalgia.The Cards themselves appeared in the 1967-68 WS and they would have plenty of pictures of that in their HOF.
If you had something from the 1920's in mint condition, signed by the player, it might be worth looking into.
EDIT: I will follow up by saying they have no market value. However they have personal value to you, so I would consider framing them and putting them on my wall. Or giving them as a gift to a Cards fan, which I think would be fantastic,
