Hiya 'bama! :)
Nice hats- I'll call dibs on the tan, second from right- but all seriousness aside value, depends on size, condition & (to a lesser degree) provenance.
If what you have are size 7 1/4 or larger they would do ok, IMO.
...oh the great Mr. Yogi Berra! My favorite has always been "Ya' better just cut that pizza into four slices, 'cuz I'm not hungry enough to eat six" :D
