This is Leila - My favorite appraisals and the ones I look for are those with great stories from the guests. Value is far less important. This past summer I had a guest in Chicago who brought an Andrew Carnegie medal given to his grandfather for saving a baby from a well. He was a salesman who happened to be driving by. No one else would go down the well, but he stripped down and jumped down 50 feet. Four years later the baby's mother nominated him for the medal, which he won with $1,000, which saved him, as he had just had his job cut down because of the Depression.
