I think their value will be greater to collectors than to audiophiles in general.
Getting the best value out of them as collectables will require an investment in time and research.
I am not an expert but I suspect what GEoffkait said regarding the types that are likely to be worth more is true.
I'd be interested in knowing what you have, once you have them all listed out.
I'd probably try to categorize them into groups representing relative estimated values. Once you've researched prices of all in each group to your satisfaction, you can put those up for sale.
Just based on #s, 600 45s from over the years in good condition generally is likely to have significant total value that might justify hiring an expert to help assess and maybe even sell that would work off a % of the actual sale.
IT really depends on your time and availability to do it right and how much you need the money today. VAlue will probably only go up as collectibles over time, so not harm in holding on to these until the time is right to sell properly.
