Default Trash or Save?

I have the original heads off my 78, but they are cracked. I have already replaced them, but now i don't know if I should keep the heads or toss them. I'll never use them again, but something does seem right about tossing them. What's everyone's opinion?

If you could modify the cracks to resemble something like for instance "The Red Sea Parting" you could put them on ebay and easily sell them for 10 thousand bucks.

I normally say save everything, but these heads will never be fixable or valuable. Sell 'em for scrap.
