I know when it comes to my cancellation collections of German States and Empire, that's more a personal interest than a philatelic issue in regards to appraisal.
Just a question of curiosity.

Yup - that helps 
You've got some good suggestions on checking out what they are selling for in roughly the same condition as mine.
I'm not used to the "condition" aspect of it, since MNH is pretty self-explanatory and unless there is a crease, it's an easy evaluation.
Actually another question I have is what about mint no gum? I have one stamp no gum issued 1860, 2009 cv mint (presumably with original gum) $400. I actually don't know why there would be no gum on this particular stamp - it is unused (absolutely no indication of any type of cancellation having been manipulated and removed). How would the value change on that? I've heard various perspectives on the mint no gum as opposed to original gum and re-gummed. Any advice is welcome.

Okay - I know this topic has been revisited several times. But I have a question. For the most part my collection is MNH. However, some of my collection is also postally used (and with my USSR & DDR collection cto). I'm getting everything ready for appraisal and I'm doing all that I'm supposed to do for it. My question is this - the person doing the appraisal told me how he calculates the replacement value which seems pretty easy when it comes to MNH but how do they come to a conclusion when it comes to postally used? I ask this in particular about my postally used Russian Empire, USSR, German States and Germany up to the end of WWII (so basically everything pre-1949 era). There is so much variation in condition (albeit most are in very good condition) - how do they figure out what a replacement value would be?
