One of the coolest items I had in my WWII baseball collection was a trophy that former MLBer Barney McCosky received for having the most RBI's in the baseball league they held in Hawaii for troops. I picked as part of a collection of WWII items years ago.

Recently I traded the trophy as part of a deal for a different really cool WWII baseball item, but as you can see in the pictures, it did not survive the trip with USPS.

I had insurance on the package, but the Post Office says regarding filing that there needs to be some substantiation of the value.

I am sure that many people here have dealt with damaged items that did not have any clear market value.

I'd love any thoughts on how to handle the situation.

Thanks
