Other lessons:
--Doesn't hurt to insure your collection. Forces you to make a list and provides a ready source of compensation if something happens.
--Splitting your collection between different places, like a home and safe deposit box, can mitigate a catastrophic loss. I will never be in a position to know what it is like to own 10 1952 Mantles but if I had ten of anything that valuable and wasn't selling I am pretty sure I'd keep at least five at the bank.
