All-Star Verify provides professional appraisal services for collectibles, memorabilia, movie props, historical artifacts and other unique or significant items. Our appraisal process is designed to establish a well-supported opinion of value based upon the characteristics of the property, its condition, rarity, provenance, historical significance and the relevant market in which comparable material is bought and sold.
Before an item can be properly valued, it is important to establish exactly what the property is. For this reason, appraisal is approached as the final stage of our Verify, Authenticate and Appraise process. Information developed during verification and authentication can significantly affect how an item is positioned within the marketplace and, ultimately, the value conclusion reached.
Our valuation research may include examination of comparable sales, auction records, dealer offerings, private-market transactions and other relevant market data. Consideration is also given to differences between comparable examples and the subject property, including condition, completeness, provenance, rarity, historical importance and any characteristics that may enhance or diminish market desirability.
The objective is not simply to locate a similar item and assign its selling price to the property being appraised. A professional appraisal requires analysis of the available market evidence and an understanding of how the characteristics of the subject property compare with those examples. This allows the valuation conclusion to reflect the item itself rather than relying solely upon generalized price guides or isolated sales results.
I would welcome people to contact us through this website should they have any questions about our appraisal services.
