Declared Value
Quick Specifications
The post-grading value you assign to a card on a submission, which determines the maximum service tier you can use and the liability coverage. Under-declaring risks voided coverage and rejected submissions; over-declaring pushes you into pricier tiers — most companies verify declared value against market comps.
Condition & Grading Challenges
Standard Condition Check: Inspect all four corners under 10x magnification. Ensure surface is free of wax stains and gum residue (vintage) or print lines (modern).
Investment Profile
General Market: Tracks with the broader sports card index (SCI-500).
