Individually sell for shillings... but a collection... highly marketable!

If you are feeling generous a museum would probably cherish them

We have a lot of old postcards, several hundreds. Most are written on, and form the story of a courtship so are 'valuable' to us, these people's descendants.

We took them to a dealer, who went through and said which cards they were interested in. It wasn't many, and they didn't want those of low, or no, commercial value. We also took them to an auctioneer to see what they thought, and they said the value would be in the few 'rare' or 'popular' cards.

That's all you can do really, take them to a specialist and see what they say. You might also find the album itself has a value, because some people like to use old albums for modern pictures.
