Automobilia

"Car persons" collect stuff. Be it magazines, books, race posters, trophies and awards,ticket stubs, signage and banners, photographs, paintings and lithographs, t-shirts or general memorabilia; if such items have historical significance they have value. Too often we hear of priceless "automobilia" collections being destroyed by unaware kin following a loved one's death or by a spouse during marriage dissolution. Should a fire damage or destroy valuable pieces there simply is no means for the insurance company to adequately replace or restore them lacking a detailed value appraisal.

To verify this market simply go online to any used merchandise auctioneer and see what you can buy.

If you have amassed such a collection, and feel if may have either resale or charitable donation value, an appraisal should be next. Because we've valued so many car collections, Southwest Valuations has also been asked to appraise other support, display, and collection items. As Personal Property appraisers we have the training, credentials, and expertise to place a highly credible market value on your car hobby collection.

We can help assure your collection does not become inadvertantly trashed by the uninformed. For more information send an inquiry to jon@southwest-valuations.com
