Appraisal Policy

---

The Charles M. Schulz Museum staff does not authenticate or appraise the art work of Charles M. Schulz. As a buyer of any unauthenticated art, you are responsible for determining for yourself the value the work brings to your life, knowing that it has no assigned monetary value and that you may or may not have an original. Appraisals for materials offered as gifts-in-kind are prohibited because the Internal Revenue Service regards the Charles M. Schulz Museum as an interested party to such contributions. If you wish to obtain an independent appraisal for your piece, please contact one of the organizations listed below for information on how to find a certified appraiser near you.

An appraisal is not necessary for gifts-in-kind valued at less than $5,000 by the donor. Additional information on appraisals and qualified appraisers is included in Internal Revenue Service Form 8283, which must be filed by persons claiming the donation of a gift-in-kind valued at more than $500.

An Authentication Committee has been established by Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates to respond to inquiries as to Peanuts art work or the original art of Charles M. Schulz. Contact the Committee at authentication@flyingace.net.
