What's it worth? Anything for collecting?

Probably not a lot due to the high cost of shipping to a prospective buyer.

Not real sure what a fair price would be. If you will sell a few of each I would buy some. I may be interested in all of them if the price is right. PM sent

 Check Guy Hildebrand at his web site The Old Ammo Guy and look at his price lists. The cartridges are collectable, particularly anything with a box. The problem is you will not make much selling just a few cartridges. As with old books, it takes quite a bit of time to sell individual cartridges and you need variety to attract buyers.

The rim fire box is worth a fair amount if you have a place to sell it.
I used to be a member the IAA cartridge collectors association and one will- usually- make more money selling catridges separately, but one has to be able to wait for them to be bought.
Gunbroker and Auctionarms are most common places to sell them.
Now if you join IAA, or simply go to one of the cartridge collecting shows listed on their site, you will get more info on how to sell or a realistic value.
I used to buy .455 semi-auto cartrdiges till they went above seven bucks each, but how much one paid varied on who was selling some wantd as much as twenty dollars per round.
As a memeber of IAA I got notice that a member was selling his entire collection of .455 cartridges which included some semi-auto rounds. Total was two  reloading cartridge boxes of fifty each.
He wanted three-hundred dollars and I bought them both, including boxes.
In the boxes were two very rare .455 auto rounds that would have cost me at least a hundred dollars just for the two.
Being a member can really help.
