Graphics Card Memory Lane

I was having a clear out of my study and was about to throw out a number of old graphics cards used by my family. They go back over twenty years to the days of AGP cards, they all work and my son suggested I ask if there is a market for this type of thing or to check if anyone collects them before I throw them out.
So does anyone know if people collect these things or should I just bin them?
 
I'd be interested to know too, how old are you talking? I have a Radeon X800 and I was keeping a brand new never used circa year 2000 PC in it's box at work and I think together they'd make a formidable retro system
Well that was the prod I needed to see exactly what I have. So without further ado I have the following cards:
Manufacturer Model Memory Bus Year
Nvidia Ti 4200 128MB AGP 8x 2001
ATI 9600 Pro 256MB AGP 8x 2003
Nvidia 6600GT 128MB AGP 2004
Nvidia 8800GTS 512MB PCI 2006
Nvidia 8800GT 512MB PCI 2006
AMD HD5770 1GB PCI 2011

I must have thrown some cards out previously as there used to be a lot more but even so it's still a nice little bunch of cards which will bring back fond memories for the older members - and a history lesson for the younger ones!
