J LevineI too use CIA and am very happy with the service.
I have also done appraisals for people including a couple for insurance purposes. I had to provide proof that I was a collector of some knowledge including two written affadavits from store front dealers. I had to include a sort of bio. about myself and my collection and my area of expertise in baseball cards. This was many years ago and not sure if even that would pass today. Not all insurance companies will even accept these and require a certification (like art dealers get).
