TCG Valuations

TCG Valuations was founded on a single principle: the collectibles market deserves integrity. Our team draws on decades of experience spanning premium banking, specialist valuations, and the ever-evolving world of trading cards, video games, and collectibles.

We’re not just appraisers—we’re collectors, analysts, and security-minded professionals obsessed with getting it right. Our backgrounds in asset management and grading meet deep roots in grading and pop culture, letting us see what others miss: true value, market context, and future-proof credibility.

Whether you’re seeking to insure, invest, or simply understand the worth of your collection, we deliver certified, data-backed valuations that are trusted by Australia’s most discerning collectors and investors.

Navigating the Age of Collectibles Value

The collectibles market—spanning trading cards, action figures, video games, Funko Pops, and Lego sets—is now a multi-billion dollar force in the nostalgic economy, with values rising and serious money at stake for collectors and investors. Yet as the market matures, insurers are tightening requirements, and securing trusted, insurance-eligible valuations for your portfolio, SMSF, business transactions, or investment sales has never been harder.

Too often, collections go underappraised, deals fall through, and claims are denied because the right expertise or certification isn’t in place.

That’s where TCG Valuations Steps in.

At TCG Valuations, we specialise in providing certified, insurance-eligible valuations and expert appraisals for trading cards, collectible toys, Lego sets, Funko Pops, and video games. Using AVAA-aligned methodology and backed by $5 million in professional indemnity insurance (underwritten by Lloyds of London via Keystone Insurance), our independent valuers deliver trusted, data-driven reports that stand up to scrutiny from Australia’s top insurers and auction houses.

Whether you’re looking to protect your collection, validate its worth, settle an insurance claim, or prepare for sale, we combine financial expertise, market-leading research, and discreet handling for total peace of mind. Every report is issued with a fraud-proof certificate, unique serial number, and the support of a team with decades of experience in collectibles, banking, and risk.

Why settle for guesswork? Get the most accurate, up-to-date valuations that the industry and serious collectors rely on.
