Yes, I do.  But unless it has substantial value it may not be worth it for
a hobbyist to pay for a proper appraisal.  On the other hand, it would be
difficult if not impossible to insure your collection without a proper
appraisal, and even then you will probably pay hefty premiums to the
insurance company that may not make it worth insuring.

At any rate, contact me privately and we'll see what we can do.
