Not sure most people want to post on a public forum where exactly their collection is stored, but the insurance part is important. I have coverage under a Chubb policy for fine arts/collectibles. Gives some piece of mind.

When I had a relatively valuable collection I kept it in a Bank Safe Deposit box and otherwise, didn't insure it. All of the scanned cards were online and every several months I would go visit my cards at the bank, sometimes bringing them home for a few days to fondle them. Did that for 15 yrs and it was fine....but do what gives peace of mind ...

most times its a fire or sewage backing up that gets your cards, if their not stolen anyways. For me it would be, ah well they burnt, time to collect some more.

Having to put your collection in a safety deposit box defeats the whole purpose of this hobby

I purchased a policy through Collectibles Insurance Services. My policy was pretty affordable.
