About Us
Hello All! I am a USPAP compliant personal property appraiser in vintage and antiques, specializing in music memorabilia and pop culture. Having your item(s) appraised involves deep research seeking factors such as the artist or maker, time period, materials, condition as well as authenticity, and provenance or documented ownership history. Being USPAP compliant/certified will ensure your appraisal will be acceptable for insurance, tax and litigation purposes; donating, selling and/or inheritance. Appraisals may be conducted in person, as well as virtual (worldwide) for your safety and convenience. You may email me at RobinRankow@gmail.com My certifications are that of USPAP compliant/certified, AIA, CAF, PACC, and a graduate of the acclaimed Asheford Institute of Antiques. In addition, an advanced degree in Cultural Anthropology. I have studied vintage and antiques for years, curating and appraising, 2nd generation. My emphasis is music memorabilia and other varied pop/entertainment culture. To begin, simply email a photo or two of your item(s) and/or a brief description, history of how you obtained the item(s), and I will be in touch with you requesting an answer to several questions. If your item(s) is out of my forte, I will let you know immediately. Please note, there are some items I do not appraise. Should you have many items to be appraised or valuated, such as for an estate, collection, or similar, please advise. I also provide valuations providing information of your item(s), and brokerage services finding the best homes for your items.
