Autograph Values - 1940s

My grandparent's friend collected autographs in the mid 1940s. We have 100s of autographs. Some of them that jumped out at me were Bing Crosby, Babe Ruth, Helen Keller, Shirley Temple, Bobby Jones, La Guardia, I believe Theodore Roosevelt.

Typically they are on plain, white 4x6 index cards. She wrote letters asking for their autographs and sometimes received reply letters also. Can you give me an idea of the value of these autographs?
