I would say you have ~$1000 collection there. The top postcard is in very poor shape and usually sells for around $400 in VG or better...your as is is probably ~$100. The next two postcards were both sold in a Huggins and Scott auction recently also as a pair. I was the underbidder at I think around $500. It is hard to say what the rest of the photos would go for. My guess is it would be close to $400.

Edited to add: Stamp collectors in the 1960s-70s really did a number on a lot of postcards just to get that extremely common one cent stamp off the back. Whoever soaked the stamp off the Thorpe track photo at least did it with care, but it's hard for me to believe a common one cent stamp was ever worth more than a Jim Thorpe postcard.
