what a comic appraiser actually does
A good comic appraisal answers three questions for each book: exactly which issue and printing it is, what condition it's in, and what that issue in that condition has sold for recently. Price guides lag the market; recent sold prices don't. That's what our values are built on.
- Identify the issue, printing and any variant (newsstand, price variant, second print)
- Estimate grade from your photos — spine stress, corners, gloss, color, page quality
- Check for restoration and missing pieces
- Value each key from recent public sales at that grade
- Tell you which books are worth professional grading before you sell
market-value appraisal vs. formal written appraisal
Our free appraisal is a market-value appraisal: what your books would sell for today. Formal written appraisals for insurance or estate paperwork are a separate service some independent appraisers charge for. If you're deciding whether to keep, grade or sell, a market-value appraisal is what you need.
Experienced with every era
We've been buying and selling collectibles since 2013 and deal in Golden, Silver and Bronze Age keys, CGC and CBCS slabs and raw books every day.

comic book appraisers: questions
How do I find a comic book appraiser near me?
You don't need one nearby. Appraisals work from clear photos, so we appraise collections anywhere in the U.S. online, for free.
How much does a comic book appraiser charge?
Our appraisals are free with no obligation. Independent appraisers who produce formal written reports for insurance or estates usually charge a fee.
Can you appraise comics from photos?
Yes. Front and back photos in good light are enough to identify the issue and estimate the grade. For high-value books we may ask for a few close-ups.
Do you appraise graded and raw comics?
Both. Graded books are valued against recent sales at that exact grade; raw books are valued from an estimated grade.
Do I have to sell after the appraisal?
No. Keep the values and decide later — there's no obligation.
