Does such a phonograph have collectible/historical value? A trophy like this one definitely does, and the damage impacts that.
I filed a claim with USPS based on other baseball trophies of similar size. None were for the exact same thing of course, but sent a range of them and hope they will agree that the value should likely fall somewhere in that range. We will see...
