Where do we meet for an appointment?
In short: At your home, your shop or an agreed venue in the Yuma area. Local card shops also host appraisal days where I give quick opinions on the spot and written reports on request.
The choice is yours. Many collectors prefer their own home, where the cards never have to travel. Shops usually book breaks and training on their own premises.
Appraisal days are a simple way to meet if you only have a few cards: the shop hosts, and I work through what people bring. Anything that needs a written report is scoped and quoted in writing afterwards.
Wherever we meet, the same things happen: the cards are photographed, their condition is recorded as observed, and anything that leaves your hands is logged into custody. If you would rather the cards never leave your sight, a visit to your home or shop keeps them in front of you the whole time.
The venue is written into the scope before the appointment, along with the fee and the timeline. Travel beyond the Yuma area is quoted as its own line. See which towns do you cover in person?, and the retention and consent policy for how photographs are kept.
