What happens when grading puts a book into a different tier? 1 1

[AeroJim]

So if I submit my copy of Hawkman #4 and I estimate its value at $400, but the grade is lower than what I had hoped and it is only worth $350, do I get billed less because it would now be considered Vintage? Conversely, if a book I thought was worth less than $400, but is graded higher, would I get charged the price for the higher tier?

Thanks!

Hello @AeroJim

The value we ask for is an insurance value, the amount you would feel comfortable with in terms of a replacement value if the book was lost or damaged. Each tier of service covers up to a maximum specified insurance level, select the tier of service which will accommodate the declared value for your item. These can be viewed online at Services and Fees.

We encourage you to be conservative as we do not reimburse if it has been over-valued. If a book were 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. Details can be viewed online with our Declared Value Policy.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Thanks! That's what I needed to see!
