If I was fortunate enough to sell a really extreme value item, I'd probably just get on a plane and hand-deliver the damned thing.

if you are moving your collection from one place to another, there is a whole secure logistics industry that moves high value items for their owners.
Aren't there a LOT of loop holes in the collections shipping insurance? I looked into just the shipping part and the exclusions are crazy. The collectors ones actually only cover shipping for up to $3k but have a $500 deductible. Whats the point if you have to pay the USPS insurance anyhow over $3k. I wish someone covered all shipping say up to $25k like the USPS (but an annual dealer price). Who do you use? Specialty insurers seem best but only up to 3k shipping + 500 deductible for pricier DEALER insurance.

Has anyone actually made a claim on sportscards through the USPS? Rumors around that they do not cover paper and cardboard products even if you buy insurance. I buy the insurance but i've never had to submit a claim.

This goes back to, how is everyone properly covering 5 digits cards? Fedex won't do that much (from that I understand). Someone clue me in as this is a confusing mess.
