Inherited large collection and need some suggestions.

I recently inherited a large collection of postcards and was needing some advice on a few things. Thank goodness theyre sorted by subject matter or Id have no idea of what I have. Ive been given the responsibility of selling the collection and splitting the profit with my sister. Im beginning to get an idea of twhat to look for, but was wondering, How should I sort them further? As far as value is concerned. Should I sepearate them by decades and type? My Stepmother had an offer of a dime percard for the whole collection but turned it down. In my personal opinion, I think she shouldve taken it. 60,000 @ a dime a piece is a fair take. There is a convention later this summer near me, So unless I sell them before then, Ill probably take them there and sell them. If any of yall are looking for anything, Just let me know and Ill do my best to accomadate. The collection contains cards from 1900-1980, linen cards & photo as well. Ive only gone through a handful thus far, But I wish there were some sports related cards. There still might be, But I doubt it. Mostly things, places and people. Thanx.
Heres a link to an album of some snapshots of various random cards. Nothing special, But perhaps I might have something thatll make someone whose passionate about them a little happier.
