Comic Art Appraisal LLC focuses on collections. This may vary from a very valuable single item up to collections in the tens of thousands. Our largest appraisal exceeded one million items. With rare exception, we no longer accept requests
to rate single items with an associated certificate.
We provide a free Professional Opinion of Value (POV) and this is sufficient in informing collectors or clients as to the value and/or importance of the items in question.
