Why use the Collectible Doll Authority?
Higher Resale Value for Sellers
Sellers can usually expect a dramatic increase in the resale value of their items if they are graded by CDA. Buyers trust CDA graded items for all of the above reasons. Also, because they know what to expect, buyers tend to return CDA graded items less frequently than other items. EBay is an excellent example of this...just look at our eBay Auction Watch and you'll see the amazing market demand for CDA graded items.
Improved Display Quality
CDA uses only the finest quality acrylic and materials when casing the items. In addition, the design of the CDA case is unique and pleasing to the eye. For these reasons, an item graded and cased by CDA makes a very nice display piece for any collection. Even items that are irregular sizes will be graded and cased under our custom tier.
Preserves the Condition of your Collectibles
Once an item is CDA graded, it is carefully cased inside one of our durable acrylic cases. It is then completely sealed from human contact, unless someone makes the conscious choice of breaking it out of the case. Therefore, your collectible is kept in the same condition as it was when it was graded. It will not be touched by human hands and then hard acrylic prevents it from sustaining any additional creases, bubble dings, or other damage.
All of these reasons make the cost of CDA grading seem to pale in comparison to the benefits.
