Each to their own as said. For many it is reassuring to know the pieces went through the vetting process. I would value it if it was sold on one of the three big auction houses big sales. Not so much for AQ or smaller auction houses or their online scrap sales where they sell everything that isn’t good enough to get into the nice catalogues.
