Should I Insure A Comic?

I hit the jackpot in 1988 when I was 12. The owner of the comic shop in the small town where I grew up passed away unexpectedly and his mother held, what amounts to, a fire sale on his collection. I purchased The Incredible Hulk #181 for $45 (my dad actually chewed me out for spending the money I'd earned cleaning and stocking his pharmacy on a comic book). I just got the book back from CBCS and it was graded a 5.5. A copy at this grade sold on ebay for $5000 this year. My question is, should I insure it against possible loss,theft or damage? Is such coverage cost prohibit6?
Thanks for any advice you can give. |

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.

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