Appraisals

THE PARADISE COMICS APPRAISAL PROCESS

  • Reviewing the Collection: We evaluate your collection’s titles, issues, and timeframes.
  • Grading Non-Encapsulated Comics: Each comic is meticulously assessed for cover condition, page count, clipped coupons, missing pages, and loose staples to determine its grade.
  • Assessing Market Value: We use GPAnalysis® to determine your comics’ market value based on past sales. Paradise Comics is proud to be one of the select companies worldwide contributing to the GPAnalysis® census.
  • Documenting the Appraisal: Each comic’s title, issue number, condition, USD value, and pertinent notes are recorded in an Excel document. Encapsulated comics are also reviewed on GPAnalysis® and included with the barcode number.
  • Receiving Your Appraisal: You will receive an Excel sheet with detailed information for each comic and a letter of credentials that can be used or sent to your insurance company.

Accepted by Major Institutions: Our appraisals are recognized by the Big Six banks for insurance purposes.
