Cuetek, I think they are awesome!!!
If I were in your same shoes, I wouldn't take $100k for both of them. The family history that those things possess would be invaluable to me.
It's not like they are costing you anything. Put them away, use them occasionally to make more memories with, and pass them down.
To me, value isn't always measured in dollars. A few thousand dollars is nothing compared to decades of family history and memories.
EDIT: I also don't think you did anything wrong with the rouge. I'd clean them up, carry them and use them all the time, myself. I don't really let potential future collector's preferences dictate what I do with my stuff. It's more important how I feel about them compared to how some stranger might feel about them down the road. But, that's just me. I hope when it comes time for me to hand down my Randalls, they are VERY, VERY worn--like worn OUT.
I'm envious of what you've got! They really are awesome.
