Selected Nagqu Cordyceps Appraisal
A client from Sheung Wan had half a catty of Nagqu first-crop cordyceps and was particularly concerned about the common problem of "bamboo skewer insertion to increase weight" in the market. So, he personally brought them to our storefront for on-the-spot verification and immediate settlement.
With complete information, the initial range will be much closer, and you might save a trip.
the appraiser often asks: If first-crop Nagqu cordyceps have been stored for several years, the most important thing is whether they have been exposed to moisture, developed an off-odor, or have too many broken pieces. If they are well-preserved, then they have the potential to be valued at a higher grade.
If you are unsure of the grade of your cordyceps, it's more practical to first refer to Cordyceps Origin and Grade Classification by Count.
Don't rush to bring the goods; first, take clear photos of your first-crop Nagqu cordyceps.
After you bring the goods to our store, we follow a three-step process:
- Photo verification: We first check if the actual items match the initially sent photos, and proceed only after confirming the quantity and specifications.
- Piece-by-piece inspection: We use a magnifying glass and backlight to inspect each piece for pinholes, the integrity of the fruiting body, and the regularity of the annular rings and chrysanthemum pattern on the cross-section.
This time, after inspecting half a catty of cordyceps piece by piece, there were no bamboo skewers inserted, no artificial weight added, and a rich fungal aroma, which is typical of first-crop Nagqu cordyceps. Considering the overall quality, preservation, and current market conditions, the final valuation was satisfactory to the client.
If you have several types of Cordyceps sinensis mixed at home, it is recommended to first classify them using the Cordyceps Buyback Program for Similar Types. For collection arrangements, please refer to Cordyceps Origin and Grade Classification by Count.
