Answer
Hi Brenda,   If they are unique in that they have never surfaced as prints before, they could be worth quite a bit of money. I am sorry I cannot direct you to a reputable source. I would contact about 10 different sports memorablilia collectors and see who is the most consistant with there advice. Don't do small time guys, go for the best, you'll get honesty and someone who really wants to help you rather than a guy trying to rip you off.
Sorry I'm not more help. Yo may have something, do lots of background check on anybody you deal with.

best of luck,

jackson
