You want to get an appraisal before you get the books graded.  We have a forum where people will give their opinions on grading and you need to do your homework. 

Without knowing which books you have, I can't recommend an auction house. 

D.C Comics, Marvel

Except that's not what they are currently saying (even if that's what they mean).  What it SAYS is that "CGC does not assign values to collectibles."  Period.  At any time.  And then they go on to assign a value to the collectibles they grade.

Rules of thumb for people totally clueless about comics.

comics with a cover price of .50 cents or less  are good, 20 cent and 25 cent better, 12 cents or less best.

comics that look like they were read a few times are good, read once and put away better, never read and carefully stored best. 

Marvel Comics  are the best, DC are okay and companies like Charleton, Archie and Gold Key have little value. 

First appearances are a big deal in this market and often the character may not be on the cover so real research is needed.

There are lots of exceptions to the above rules 

Modern books have different rules but you said your collection ends around 1983.

I Thank you or your thoughts and knowledge , i had figure out the structure base on price  and years . you have had a membership with CGC for 12 years .What made you become a member ?  how long have you collected comics ?

I just love that pharse "you know, that thing they don't do."

Sounds like they have an ideal on value but from a legal stand point don't want to add  apprasial service to there company model  which I can understand . CGC seems to be an umpire they call balls an strikes

What's your goal here?  To get comics graded and then sell them or to get comics graded and get them appraised and keep them?  If you're getting them appraised to keep them is the appraisal for insurance?

 

My Goal is to get them Graded and maybe sell some but, Main Goal is to fine out value of collection and get  insurance for them.

The appraisal is to make sure I protect the collectibles in case of events I can't control. Right now I'm working on getting them graded. 

HEY Shadroch

Thanks for your comments , They range 1968 - 1983 

Once i get comics Graded

Which Auction house is best for appraisal or can CGC Help me get appraisal ?

Also do dealers do appraisals ?

Should i use comic book stores that aren't dealers of CGC ?

I'm a Newbie in this and i have some of the same concerns you have . 

base on your relationship with the person ( which must be a very, very, very  long one

i would use wire transfer  checks can be cancel or we meet at his bank for that large amount

Thanks for your  for the imformation this help a lot 

The imformation, was good to get .being  a new person in the comics industries my learning curve is still going on and will always continiously  learn about this industries  everyone can learn new things about the industries .  

Hello

If  you due a restoration on a comic that's graded at a 2.0 what percentage can you expect value to rise ?
