This is somewhat different than valuing for a claim. For valuing for a premium, "high end of ballpark" is the goal. Average of the 3 highest, recent auction prices for type, date, mint, major variety, grade, and CAC status ... or use Red Book if it's higher. This will automatically take care of "minor" varieties. One exception is if you have a rare minor variety and feel it greatly enhances value. Then you might need a valuation letter from an expert.
