I don't think you will have trouble finding people to appraise it for you. It can easily be found through google searches. Just be careful about who you select, and you'll have it. This is from the top of the page: http://www.isa-appraisers.org/

Cup, shmup,
What could that old chipped cup be worth?
Your father used to keep his teeth in it
Do me a favour, go buy yourself a nice new plastic cup.
