Default Wood Rackets. Any Diamonds in the Rough?

I started acquiring some wooden rackets mainly from garage sales when I was in high school. I particularly enjoyed the rackets that had the players faces. They became mostly for decoration and I don't know very much about wooden rackets but I am wondering if any of these are rare/desirable to any of the TT posters. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the link to the Flickr image. Below is a list of all the rackets pictured. Rackets 1-3 are top row, 4-6 middle row, 7-9 bottom row.
