DIG Appraisal

Insurance Coverage

After acquiring a significant piece through Propstore, your insurer will require a formal appraisal to underwrite the policy. A sale price is not an appraisal. It reflects what one buyer paid on one day. A USPAP-compliant appraisal establishes replacement value for ongoing coverage.

Estate Planning

If entertainment memorabilia acquired through Propstore forms part of a collection with estate value, a qualified appraisal is required for IRS Form 706. DIG has appraised collections for some of the most significant entertainment estates of the past two decades.

Charitable Donation

Donating a significant piece to a museum or institution? The IRS requires a USPAP-compliant appraisal completed within a specific window. See the Form 8283 guide for full requirements.
