there's also plenty of posts there on collectibles insurance companies/policies, but check with your homeowners policy or renter's policy, as some will cover the value of all possessions to a certain limit.

here's a report/review on various collectibles insurance companies, dated 7-24-22, this should help.

Careful with the fireproof safes. I recall many years ago someone the forum used them and the actual degraded the books (I believe staple rust, or something like that).

Is such coverage cost prohibit6?

Thanks for any advice you can give.



If you have just a few valuable books, just buy a fireproof safe. smile I have four, each hold around a hundred books.


Thanks!]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2022 13:01:40 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17364 Message from Ptmac76 Ronbatman wrote:
There is collectible insurance that you can get.

There are also places with vaults where you can store your most prized collectible. I know CBCS and Ebay have vaults.
