Default Vintage Bats at Garage Sale - Worth Buying?

My mother stumbled across a garage sale with a bunch of Player bats for sale. The seller is asking for between $5-10 a bat, so I was curious if any were worth purchasing, of if these have little value? I was definitely going to buy the 2 Jackie Robinson's even as wall displays, and the Don Mattingly because he was a childhood icon. How about the others? Yaz, Carew, the Roses? Anything worthwhile grabbing? I'm assuming these are all store model bats and nothing is player specs?

Thanks

I have no idea of actual value but at $5-$10 each I would have very quickly bought every one of them.

x2 - first words out of my mouth would have been "will you take $40 for the lot"? If no, I would pay the asking price for all of them.

I recently bought a Wade Boggs All Star Game bat and my wife threatened to beat me with it. I still sleep with one eye open.

Thanks all - don’t know what the knobs are but I’ll see if I can figure it out. The bats are on hold for me (neighbors garage sale), so guess I’ll pick them all up. Even if they are worthless later, they can be a fun project to repurpose.
