Is it better for your FICO to keep credit cards that have been open for 14 years and have some minor dings or to open new ones which have a clean slate?
I would think you would want to keep the TL since they are aged 14+ yrs. As far as what the dings are...if they are lates or accurate whatever...closing will not get rid of it and it will still be reported...

How old are they? What's the current util% on these cards.Util% = CL/Balance: CC 5,000 CL, balance 1,500 = 30% util
