Default Sort of Ethical Question Re Baseball Signed W-2 Forms

I've got a small stack of IRS W-2 Forms signed by various SF Giants from the 1960s. This is the IRS payroll form wherein you declare how many deductions you want from your paycheck. One gotcha is that they all have the players Social Security Numbers on them. Got these years ago, just rediscovered them going through my stuff for possible sale.

Wondering what you all think about selling these since they have the players SSN on them. With all the possibility of identity theft and vague liability issues, would you:

1) Not consider selling at all.
2) Consider selling only deceased players.
3) Cut out the signatures only (no SSN visible)
4) Sell whole anyway.
5) Go ahead and sell with blacked out/cut out SSNs.


Mostly common autographs but there are a couple of toughies in there, both living and deceased.

Thanks for looking.
