What to do with them? I have carried them around for 50 years and was wondering, are there any value to these?

Take them and put them in a place you will forget about and when you find them in a place in another 50 years they will be even more valuable.

Unfortunately, I don’t have another 50 years.

There is a person right here on E Brandon looking for old record collections .  
Go to classified ads. Merchandise wanted . Their ad is near the bottom .

From what I understand, if any sort of old collection is not in really good shape then there is likely not some high value attached to it (unless it a rarity). So many people collect things for years nowadays and they still don’t turn into high value items. My hockey cards for example.  
You could play with the above and see what the very good quality 45s sell for.  
There is an also younger crowd that likes vinyl. If you gifted them to someone who wants them at least they’d be appreciated.
