Track Values & Grades

Purchase price, declared value, slabs, and certification fields.

Step-by-step

1
Open an item's detail page to edit grade, purchase price, and current value.
2
Grades can be raw (e.g. 9.4) or slabbed with grading company and certification number.
3
Purchase price records what you paid and when — useful for insurance and personal tracking.
4
Declared value is manual unless you enter it. We label it clearly — never as a formal appraisal.
5
The Values dashboard summarizes declared totals across your collection (coming soon).

Collector tips

•Do not rely on LongboxIQ for market comps — use your own research for high-value sales decisions.
•Update values after major market moves or when you get books regraded.
