Anything after about 1975 is pretty hard to deal with, but 50's cards are very sought after, especially if they are in really nice condition.

Most any reputable card dealer will be interested in buying them. So that you do not get ripped off I'd recommend looking over a recent price guide to get some general guidance. Here's a free online one that might be helpful: http://portasite.com/.

Remember that condition is super important. Read over the grading criteria because it makes a huge difference in price.

Yeah, if I found boxes of 1950's cards in the attic, I'd be jumping for joy.
