Appraisals
Appraisals
The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum cannot provide appraisals for materials offered as gifts-in-kind because the Internal Revenue Service regards us as an interested party to such contributions. If you wish to obtain an appraisal for artwork, ephemera, comic books or other published material, please see below for a list of appraisers.
An appraisal is not necessary for gifts-in-kind valued at less than $5,000 by the donor. Additional information on appraisals and qualified appraisers is included in Instructions for Form 8283 and the Internal Revenue Service Form 8283 and which must be filed by persons claiming the donation of a gift-in-kind valued at more than $500.
Please note that some of these people may be dealers in addition to making appraisals. Inclusion on this list in no way implies an endorsement or recommendation by The Ohio State University Libraries or the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. This list is compiled only for informational purposes and is by no means exhaustive or comprehensive.
