help- opinion on moving collection
I am moving locations next week. About a 1400 mile move. My collection is worth $500,000+. The volume (mostly signed cards) consist of 5 boxes each about 12"x16"x24 inches. Each weighs maybe 50+ pounds
What do you think the best way to move it is. 1)Should I take it in the car with us and bring it in the motel at night? 2) Trust the moving company (a well known national one) 3) Do UPS or Fed Ex 4) Registered mail isn't a good option due to size and type box it is packed in. If you were me how would you do it?? Thanks |

The first thought that jumps to my mind is...."Is all this insured just in case ________ happens regardless of how it is being transported"? Personally I like the idea of transporting in the car where you have more control of how it is handled (not thrown around or what by moving company or UPS/FedEx) plus you can keep an eye on it (I mean keep an eye on the road)

I would put them in the car trunk and leave them there till I got to the new place.
Have a safe trip. |

I have moved approximately 30 times and always move everything of value myself. Things disappear all the time in moves. I'd pack up your collection, your photos, any irreplaceable items, and jewelry in your car and either drive straight through or move it in to your hotel every night.

Moving Advice
I moved/drove exactly 1644 miles 3 years ago. This was the simple answer for me:

I took mine with me on all my moves. A little less space for other personal items in my vehicle was worth it to me in order to have peace of mind about my collection.

Check with an armored transporting company like Brinks. They offer secured logistics for just these sorts of moves.

Option 1. Never a second thought as to the other ones. If it leaves your sight and you never see it again you'll never forgive yourself and regret it the rest of your life. Sorry if that sounds too serious but I believe it 100%.

Welcome to WA. It doesn't rain as much as people thinks it does. What city are you moving too?
