What will I find

Became an unintentional collector lol. This came into work today, I work at a hazardous waste facility and the lady that brought them in said they where her dads who worked internationally. They range from 40s-90s. Has to be 1000+. A lot from Japan from what I can see on just the top layer. What should I be looking for?

Instagrams to follow

I found this Instagram that shows their match collections from a lot of major cities. Really helpful for us collectors. Does anyone have any other accounts they like?
