If it was me, I would keep them if you think they are real or look good, despite the JSA/DNA fail. But if you ever did try to sell them, you should disclose that they failed authentication. The very nature of autograph collecting is very subjective anyways. Authenticators will deem something good when it's bad and I've even heard of times when they deemed something bad and the person got the signature in person! I have a Ryne Sandberg that I got at a show back in the mid '80s and nobody thinks it's authentic (he really did mess up my card with his messy signature). I've bought items before where the seller thought they were bad (based on internet samples he searched), but in my opinion, they were good, so I bought it.
