I'll go out on a limb and say $140 is too much.

Potential collectors very limited, if they are just routine flight logs then not even that historical.
Even if there is some fairly detailed logs relating specifically to the atomic tests the info has been available for decades ,,, But hey, what do I know about atomic test log books ?
Never heard of a Kiska dagger pin, group would likely peak the interest of a PTO buff.
