help- opinion on moving collection

[CardboardCollector]

Michael,

You list your location as HI (Hawaii). 1,400 miles is an awfully wet drive to somewhere in the Pacific.

But seriously, I have packed my stuff up with me and drove cross country. Keeping it near me in the hotel at night.

Our lives are in transition. part of the year in HI, part in AZ. Giving up AZ for WA.
Debating giving up the bank deposit boxes and keeping everything in a safe at home since it is a low crime area and I get to "play" with the collection more

. . . I am with the consenus too; personally transport and if possible,
do not let boxes out of my sight.

Given the value of the collection, I also share this same viewpoint when
the time comes to sell my collection. Several dealers offers involve shipping
to them inorder to get their buying price. Since my autograph collection is
kept in 4-5 storage tubs, and carries a substantial value too, it will not be
traveling separate from my person/vehicle either. That said, quite possible
that collection value might merit a personal visit (round trip flight) by
interested dealer(s).

As for insurance, I believe there have been earlier threads on this topic
within Net54. Do not recall whether there was an obvious opinion or
experiences one way or the other regarding the effectiveness of such
coverage. But certainly worth revisiting and considering.
