Silk VIP Chelsea programme 1920

[matt t.]

My family own some Chelsea memorabilia including a 1920 FA Cup Round 3 white silk VIP programme commemorating King George V's visit to the match against Leicester City on February 21st. It belonged to my great, great uncle Claude Kirby, the founding chairman of Chelsea FC. We also have press photos of the occasion featuring the King and Mr Kirby greeting the players and fans.

Does anyone have any ideas about their value or how best to go about getting these items valued?
