Are any of these cards of value to collectors?

I did some research. Here's more info on the NV1 graphics chipset. Whats interesting is that the card was expensive due to its all-in-one design, and it got bad reviews in terms of video and sound performance. So at the time it was dobtful that nVidia would ever gain a major share of the video market. (Of course now its a major player)

I'm guessing that the fact that the quadratic platform was abandoned makes these cards all the more unique/valued (though it made them less valued at the time.)

NV1 Nvidia's first product, based on quadratic surfaces

Qwerty, It would be just my luck that the one item someone is interested in is the one card I'm thinking about keeping. I have this little "muffin board" that only has 1 PCI slot. I may use it for that. If I don't I'll contact you about selling (or trading.) I might post the muffin board on this forum, to get some help in upgrading the processor and configuring it.

Can anyone comment on the other cards? I also have a Paradise video card from '87 that I forgot to photograph.
