Important:
We only appraise comic
character collectibles. Comic books, original comic book art, original
newspaper art, animation art, movie posters, toys and select illustration art.
Individual Comic book appraisals are limited to books published
prior to 1975. Collections after this date need to be evaluated and
require additional information. Please check the inside of the front cover to determine
the date. We will not appraise individual items with a retail value of under $25.
We will
offer an evaluation for most individual items and collections at no charge and freely offer advice when we can.
Appraisal fees for large collections or estate, tax or insurance purposes are at
a hourly rate.
A common problem exists for books dated after 1975 to the present. For

Please Note:
Unless a formal appraisal is requested and contracted for, we provide
a Professional Opinion of Value (POV), not a formal appraisal. As such the work
product of the appraiser is not an appraisal but something distinct and less
than a formal appraisal due to the extraordinary limiting conditions under which
such professional services are here offered. The client should be informed
further that the POV is a work product that is not necessarily based on
first-hand inspection, that it is not fully researched, that it is not intended
for anything other than informational use, and specifically not intended for
important tax or financial purposes. It is only an opinion professionally
rendered, but not duly and fully researched. As opposed to a formal appraisal,
it does not take into account specific market issues, trends, or any other
important criteria that may affect value.
