Thems ain't LPs, which stands for 'long playing', as opposed to the short play you have, called 78 rpm. LP is 33 1/3. They are probably not shellac (apologies above, they are even older). You can clean them safely with Disc Doctor. The conservator at the Library of Congres was using that last we spoke. The surface noise is probably 95% a combination of your cartridge and not deep cleaning. Last is a big final boost to greasing your skids.
It depends on how much you love the records. The market is more alive than it has been since the Tokyo market crash. But the internet cuts both ways. I have more ability to buy and to sell. That makes an efficient market.
It is also quite possible that your records were horribly abused by playing with shattered needles. In that case the cover art is worth the most.
