How to REPRESENT your Collectibles

INVENTORY _ Be sure to list MO. and YEAR of all issues, their condition, (see the grading scale below). Be sure to list all the Maps & Pictorals (see Map Inventory page on this site). If Hardbound, state cover type and color as well.

E-MAIL YOUR INVENTORY_ to my E-Mail address. Include your name, address, Ph # (optional), and E-Mail address. I will E-mail a response if I am interested or have comments. I am building a database of collectors and will ask for a trade for local contacts in your area, or national contacts.

APPRAISAL_ Each inquiry will receive a response with a general value estimate. Should detail analysis, or consulting be involved to represent your items, I am available for donated collectibles based on the complexity.

If you have a special item or group of collectibles, I will consider placement on a "specials" page for consignment trade. (5% of sale + shipping payable in donations of collectibles)

Use the following discriptions to GRADE MAGAZINES. If an issue has any one condition it is rated in that category. (VG-4 for example). If an issue has two conditions, (say 3 & 4) Then it is Fair 3,4. If and issue has 3 conditions, (say 3, 4, & 5) then it is Good plus 3,4,5.
