Establishing authenticity is always a big plus in value of these type of items. If you can get a letter from someone like Tom Tjaada stating they are authetic, then they are probably worth more. They may ultimately have more value to him anyway as designer of the car.
As Cuvee suggests, you may actually make more by having them digitized and running copies to sell, keeping the originals for another day.
