   On this, because historical, contact Profiles in History or Signature   
   House or any of the bigger companies and tell them you want to sell   
   it... they may be able to put a price on it.  It would depend on many   
   factors.   
      
   1) is it legit.   
   2) what the item is   
   3) what damage there may be/condition   
   4) if there's anything else to go with it (provenance or other items   
   to sell as a "group")   
      
   Prices realized on Google. for that might be worth a guess.  For   
   historical stuff, unless it's a "live" auction where you have internet   
   bidders/in person at the auction house bidders and phone bidders, you   
   won't get an actual price.  UNLESS you are planning to sell via Ebay.   
   That's the rule.   
      
   If you are selling thing Ebay... look at Ebay prices.  that's about   
   what you'll get.  Larger online auction houses have prices realized   
   sections you can check.   
      
   Nobody can give you a "true" value.  Value is what people will pay for   
   it on any given day and probably less now than last year due to the   
   economy.  It's like the stock market.
