Why don't you start with Profiles In History. They'll probably want photos but they should be able to give you an estimate as to how much they'd yield at auction. Also there's Philip Weiss at the Philip Weiss Auctions in Oceanside, N.Y. I had talked to him about WWI and WWII posters at one time.

Yes, it does make sense that heralds usually sell for a fraction of the price of lobby cards and posters. They were distributed by the carload to anyone who bought a ticket for a movie. Lobby cards and posters were printed distributed in much less quantity to theater owners and less survive today.
