Not just any general. This one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Spaatz

Carl Andrew Spaatz (born Spatz; June 28, 1891 – July 14, 1974), nicknamed “Tooey”, was an American World War II general. As commander of Strategic Air Forces in Europe in 1944, he successfully pressed for the bombing of the enemy’s oil production facilities as a priority over other targets. He became Chief of Staff of the newly formed United States Air Force in 1947.

That is one heck of a WW2 vet scrapbook. $3k-$5k seems in the ball park. Especially with all this publicity. It would be a lot more valuable if it was from a mission crew member.
