Hello
I have some Sam the Eagle Pins that i have recently inherited. This collection is probably (not confirmed) to be the most complete set of Sam Pins there is. It’s believed to be composed of at least 1 of every pin. Including some that are from Japan, and we’re not sold in the states. Really i am here to try and find how to value these. I don’t plan on parting with them, but some of the frames are falling apart and I’m wondering how much i should be spending on preserving these. I have some quotes for $500/ea from some local shops, and over $1000 from Aaron Brothers and wondering if it really matters. I understand that labor is a big part in this and am almost leading toward having a bigger chain do it. My grandfather put a lot of work into putting this together and i believe that it should be showed and enjoyed. Looking forward to seeing your responses!
Thank you
