Appraising Commissions 2 2

[ConcreteMob181]

Howdy all. My apologies, in advance, if this is addressed elsewhere. I have been collecting convention sketches/commissions for years. I don't have any intent of selling but I need to provide an accurate valuation for insurance purposes. I know, of course, what I paid but that's about it. I really have no clue as to how to value these. Can anyone suggest a reference or rule of thumb? Or do I just have to hire an appraiser? Many thanks!

Questions/comment/recommendations/concerns are all welcome.

It depends on what you’ve been collecting. If you have top tier artists drawing characters they are known for you could get decent money but if your collection is made up of some offbeat theme or character then not so much.
