Postal Insurance question

[Archive]

Posted By: Brent Butcher

I almost think its up to the local postmaster and the way they interpret the rules/regulations. I've been told at a po that they don't insure collectibles and then at my local po I was told by the post master they would. I've only had to make a claim one time when a graded card I received came damaged. The holder was broke pretty badly and I explained to the post master that this collectible is almost worthless if the card inside is damaged. I explained to her the grading process a little bit and she agreed to pay to have it reholdered and if it couldn't be reholdered she would pay for the price I paid for the card. It came back reholdered and I received a check for $5.
