In addition to Ken's excellent advice, if you do decide to sell, spend some time checking to see if there are any of the same maps for sale, how much they are a asking for them, their condition, and more importantly check to see how much the same maps have been sold for in the past. You don't want to underprice or overprice them.

Also consider selling them as a job lot or dividing into a couple of categories.

As they are folded, unless special or in good condition, it is probably not likely that anyone would want to have them framed. Framable maps are always popular.

If you decide to keep them, probably just keep them in acid free paper in a box away from extremes of temperature and moisture. They're interesting. I would keep them if I were you.   :)
