Collectors insurance
Ted Z's thread really got me thinking about this.....
What are the best options out there and about how much will it cost to insure cards. Just a rough estimate as a percentage of value would be great. Regards, Scott

Good thread idea. I would also like to add a question for homeowners.
Would homeowners insurance cover my collection? I know there was a thread on this a few months back, but it seems like a good time to re-hash the subject. Thanks - Rob

Homeowners
Depends on the policy, but generally you have to list items like these and pay a premium... The safest bet (depending) is a safe-deposit box, but if I had a Plank, it would be like dropping a kid off at daycare...a tough goodbye...

I have been using Collectibles Insurance Services for a long time. I highly recommend them. http://www.collectinsure.com/

Insurance
I would end up paying quite a bit to insure my cards personally. I made the choice to have them online and keep all of my expensive ones in a safe deposit box. It costs me $100 a yr and gives me a huge peace of mind. For our auction it was a very easy decision, we use CIA Insurance. regards

I use CIA, too
It is very reasonable. But I have never had to make a claim (thankfully). It is much easier than homeowners' insurance.

Its called a "ryder" in insurance terms. You can insure certain things, but others are not insurable (at least through Allstate), such as my wife's jewelry as an example.

I also highly recommend CIA and the "safety deposit box" method. Even for collections like mine which are valued at $5000 or less....it is wonderful for peace of mind.

Scan it and bank it
As soon as I get anything worth near $100 (not too often), I scan it, enjoy it in full daylight for maybe a day or two and then it is tossed into the bank safe deposit box. While it takes some of the fun of having the cards around, I never worry about them, and a trip to the bank is alot more fun!
