They look like Ping Karsten 3's.

Edit:  Actually they could be Karsten I, II, or III's.  Can't really see up close enough.

Driver:  Callaway Diablo Octane 9.5*
3W:  Callaway GBB II 12.5*, 5W:  Callaway Diablo 18* Neutral
3H:  Callaway Razr X, 4H:  Callaway Razr X
5-PW:  Callaway X Tour
GW:  Callaway X Tour 54*, SW:  Callaway X Tour 58*
Putter:  Callaway ITrax, Scotty Cameron Studio Design 2, Ping Anser 4

Thanks for the reply. I can pick them up for 40$ but I don't know if I should just save up for something newer...I hit the i15 7 iron the other day at the range and absolutely loved it, just don't have the scratch to buy a set like that right now

If they are Ping Karsten's then they are a collector's item.  $40 is a really good price.  Also if they are the 3's they came out in the mid 1970's.

I agree with any of the Karsten series as fair value for 40.00 and would probably consider them myself if red or black dot. Keep in mind that an older set like this will usually require new grips and may not be the best lie angle or shaft choice for your stature and swing. As a Ping fan I have bought and played with Karstens but for a main set of gamers would not want anything older than Eye 2.

Hmmmm, maybe I should pick them up and try to trade them to a collector for something better suited to my game (or lack thereof LOL).

Your data says righty, but aren't those left-handed clubs?  That would seem like a really steep learning curve.

HA good point. Never let the data get in the way of a good horse trade!
