[QUOTE="Fid, post: 620037, member: 7724"]JMHO. and not meaning to be rude in any way... you got what you asked for. a speculation object. the letter by this Ivan Street in Bath is of no value at all. the assessment should include any papers that are connected to other auction houses - it sounds rather posh "over the edge" when people simply phone to their friends at Sotheby's and then something "transpires" :shifty:. they'd better transpire at sports... so if you have the chance - I take it you're in Great Britain - show it to an expert in person and stay with him. don't leave it behind or you pay another exaggerated fee for useless paper. as for the insurance value - another trap ! in most countries this value is theoretically what the insurance company should pay to replace the item if it's destroyed; but how would you prove the value with such a piece of wrapping paper ?[/QUOTE]
