Administrator Jennifer F. Posted April 7, 2022 Administrator Share Posted April 7, 2022 Good morning, Thank you for your message. CGC doesn't provide values or do appraisals on books, unfortunately. You could take your book to a comic dealer and have it appraised. You could also check online auction sites to see what similar books in a similar condition have sold for recently. The value we ask you for is an insurance value, a number you would feel comfortable with in terms of a replacement value if your book was lost or damaged while with us. Each tier of service covers up to a maximum specified insurance level and you must choose a tier of service which will accommodate the declared value for your item. CGC Services & Fees | CGC (cgccomics.com) We do encourage you to be conservative as we do not reimburse you if you over-value your book. In the event that your book was grossly under-valued, we would contact you to bump the book to a higher grading tier and you would just pay the difference in the grading fees at that time. You can review our Declared Value Policy here: Declared Value Policy. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else would it charge for Walkthrough, which is based on FMV. djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how they'd know your submission was "undervalued" if they don't appraise it. djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 CGC does not assign values to collectibles. If CGC determines that a collectible is undervalued djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin76 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 If CGC doesn't provide value, then why are they putting more value on the book after it's been graded only to charge the customer more money? If the book is then lost, only a CGC credit is given? They don't send out checks to customers djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
