BillinMo is pretty much dead on with his description. While a rare insulator, it is heavily damaged. I think its worth more than $20 though.
10% of book actually $175- $200. I believe that to be high still for a value.
Personally, I think that a value of 50-100 is more reasonable, and something you could see from the piece if it was to be sold.
Same could be said for an expensive, rare piece. Not many people will actually spend money to buy it if mint either. "Wow, what a nice piece, and you have a very good price on it" It my experience, it takes just as long to sell the rare, good condition example as it does the rare, damaged example. The only difference is you have 2 different classes of collector buying them.

I’ve seen the same scenario play out again and again: a damaged specimen sits on a table at a show, everyone picks it up, looks it over, shakes their head and says "Wow, what a neat piece... if only it was mint.†Not many people will actually spend money to buy it.
