Appraisal criteria
Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, first press, promo and white-label copies are assessed separately.
Lyric sheets, obi strips, posters and box completeness can change collectible value.
Scratches, mould, warping and PVC marks should be photographed under reflection.
A full batch shows storage background and makes key editions easier to identify.
Process
Photograph cover, back cover, label and reflective disc surface. For large batches, start with spine rows.
We identify first press, Japan press, box sets, promo copies or signed material worth extra photos.
When the first direction is worthwhile, we arrange store or pickup inspection.
Final value is confirmed by physical condition before cash handover and sorting.

FAQ
Yes. For a small batch, send photos by WhatsApp first. We will check whether there are key editions and suggest the next step.
Photograph the front cover, back cover track list, record label, lyric sheet or obi strip, and reflective disc surface. For large batches, start with group photos and spine rows.
It depends on edition and damage level. Rare editions may still have value, but PVC marks, serious warping or deep scratches will reduce the appraisal.
For Hong Kong collections, pickup can be arranged depending on quantity, item type and the first estimate. For large collections, estate clearance or moving, send overview photos first.
Yes. Vinyl records, older CDs, cassette tapes and audio equipment from the same collection are often easier to assess together because the provenance is clearer.
No. Before appraisal, keep box sets and original accessories together. Original lyric sheets, obi strips, boxes, receipts and signatures can affect collector value.
