Ethics Policy

At The Comic Appraisers, integrity and transparency are the foundation of our business. No employee, contractor, or affiliate of The Comic Appraisers may buy, sell, receive commission from, or otherwise financially benefit from any comic book collection that we appraise. This ensures that every appraisal is impartial, objective, and free from conflicts of interest. Our clients can trust that all valuations are conducted solely to provide accurate, unbiased information about the condition and fair market value of their comics.

Appraisal Disclaimer

All appraisals provided by The Comic Appraisers are based on current market data, industry grading standards, and professional research. The fair market value we assign represents an informed estimate of what a collector might reasonably expect to receive in a standard market transaction. It does not guarantee a specific sale price, as the actual sale of collectibles may be influenced by market fluctuations, demand, rarity, condition, and other factors beyond our control.

Collection Maintenance

While we provide guidance on proper care, storage, and preservation techniques to help maintain the condition and value of your collection, it is ultimately the responsibility of the owner to properly store, handle, and protect their comics. The Comic Appraisers is not liable for any damage, loss, or depreciation resulting from improper care, handling, or environmental factors.

The Comic Appraisers assumes no liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of our appraisals, recommendations, or information provided. By engaging our services, clients acknowledge that appraisals are professional opinions and do not constitute legal or investment advice.

Confidentiality

All client information, collection details, and appraisal results are treated as strictly confidential. We do not share client information with third parties without explicit consent, except as required by law.
