I am looking for a place with guidelines which is the generally accepted standard for grading Jumbo Lobby Cards from early 1930’s. Also if anyone knows of a Trusted Appraiser for this type of item(s). I think they want them sent in to get them appraised and not sure who to trust. 2 Marlene Dietrich, Clara Bow, John Barrymore, Mary Pickford and 5 others. Thanks.

I googled using “lobby card appraisal” and came up with this [URL removed] [URL removed]
This will give you some values, but I have no idea where you can get them officially appraised. Maybe you could post some pics, so we could see them. I know they are highly collectible.
Good Luck

I remember seeing the fellas on American Pickers get some appraised on one of their shows. I wonder if you wrote the show if they’d share their source.
Another idea is to take them to a local auction house in your area for an estimate. All reputable auction houses have appraisers that should be able to estimate value for a fee.
