I am about to evaluate the cleanup of my collectibles with the adjuster following a fire at my office.Can anyone point me towards sources that can opine on how smoke smell affect the value of a collectible. Altho nothing was "lost" I am sure my publications will have a slight ozone and musty (smoky) residual odor. No water (only foam) was used, but framed pieces showed smoke under the glass, and I suspect some humidity I am sure existed. If I want to argue that a $1000 NM 1942 All Star program for instance, has lost value...are there sources I can cite?
In my attempt to save a buck, I cancelled my policy with CIA, but they kindly pointed me towards the Heritage (I'm near Dallas), My contents insurance includes a rider for collectibles up to $25,000 (which is a little less that it's value) but before they pay for an appraiser we'll determine if there is damage and I was hoping to go armed with freely (emphasis on free) support of what smoke and ozone treatment does to cards and publications.
Thanks
Edit: I realized this would be appropriate in the memorabilia forum..sorry
