If the packs were unopened they would be very vauluable. However, since they are opened the price goes down yet they are still worth something because of their age. Vaule with also depend on their condition, the players who are on them, the brand of the cards, and edition if that brand had multiple editions. Hope this helps.
Sounds like you have cards from Fleer that were made in 1961. At that time Topps had a monopoly on current players so Fleer was doing what it could to tap into the baseball card market. In 1959 they were able to sign an exclusive deal with Ted Williams to produce a set of just him. Then in 1960 and 1961 they produced sets of all time greats. The 1961 cards that you have range in price of about $1 to $25 depending on the condition and player. Cobb and Ruth are the main players. Here's Honus Wagner from that set: http://i1.ebayimg.com/02/i/001/01/d4/8316_1.JPG edit: The F.H.F on the back stands for Frank Henry Fleer who founded the Fleer Corporation and who created Bubble Gum in 1849.
max carey is a hall of famer who played for the pirates, johnny kling was a catcher who played for the cubs. anyways, look up these guys on wikipedia and you can find some more information about them. your best bet it to take the cards to a reputable card store and have them appraised.
Typically Beckett Magazine/Beckett.com does the pricing for cards. But honestly I doubt they'll have a listing for those cards as they are old. I've got some old ones myself but I had to do some extensive research online. Search for information that pertains to the cards. I was lucky enough to actually find photos of my cards on the web. My old ones are from 1909. I wish I had Ty Cobb in this set unforunately though I don't. Anyways the cards I got came out of tobacco. Back then there were only so many ways of obtaining cards. Another thought would be to take them to a local card shop. Maybe if the guy in there actually knows his business he can point you in a few directions. You could possibly even email pictures of them to Beckett. Also, Beckett has online forums with serious collectors as members. Go to the Baseball forum there and post there as well. Make sure to give them as much info off of the cards as possible. Beckett is a great place to find knowledgable people who can help you. I wish you the best of luck!
GOOGLE IT!!!!!!

You might get quite a bit of money from eBay. I am not sure if there are similiar cards here but its worth a try. http://sportcardsfanshop.com/
