I find that most people in my life have at least one “thing” they are collecting. It is often an insight into their personality and it is fun to hear people talk about something they are passionate about.

The grading isn’t about assessing value, it’s about condition. There are multiple grading companies out there who will grade the book and seal it to prevent it degrading.
You can talk with them directly or go through a local comic shop who does grading to get it done.
CGC is the big one:

CBCS is #2:

There are others, but for terms of increasing the value of the book, you want one of those two.

The fee CGC charges though is based on the value of the item. The reasoning I got was because they couldn’t determine a value they didn’t know what to charge for their fee and eventually I just told them to send it back (this was after months of trying to figure it out). It has been a while though so maybe better luck this time around? I didn’t know about CBCS either so might just try them thank you for the suggestion
Oh, yeah, but I was able to find an estimated value in like 2 seconds, you could point them here:
