What to REALISTICALLY do with ~140 1993-2000 BBs my aunt has? (spreadsheet list included)

Question

Basically title. I'm helping my elderly aunt clean out her place and she has 2 huge totes of about 145 BBs from 1993-2000. Besides 14 in cases, they are just all shoved together, no bags or anything. 87 still have the heart tags in varying condition from excellent to rough.

I've already talked to her and she does understand that they're likely not worth anything due to so many being out there, but she's a little afraid she might have SOMETHING that could be of value. I told her it's absolutely not possible for me to be able to individually look at each one to research them and potentially going through the entire hassle of the ebay process 1 by 1 for basically nothing; and I know she never would herself.

I have a spreadsheet of them all here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z8_ohN7L1zr_U-QvDmSiu4zDJ2T1ySHRNdQsULYHr-o/edit?usp=sharing . The year listed is what is on it's cloth tag so if it's wrong, then it must be a misprint.

So what should we do with these? Are there any worth looking at? Should we put them up as a total lot, group them into a few smaller misc lots, group by animals, etc? Or would just donating them to charity be a bigger tax writeoff and be done with it?
